Park your car when you arrive because you'll be going by boat from here. This unique property exudes pride of ownership and has been impeccably maintained. The main house has broad views over the Torch River and offers main level living with a spacious island kitchen, large living room with fireplace, a well designed primary suite and a comfortable bedroom and bath for visiting guests. Just across the yard is a beautifully designed and finished guest cottage offering exceptional privacy for friends and family or a wonderful space to pursue your hobbies away from the main home. The two car garage is also semi-finished and is currently used as a yoga studio, but could certainly serve as storage for boats and water toys. The waterside landscape is absolutely breathtaking with extensive plantings and hardscapes making it difficult to force yourself inside on nice weather days. The Torch River is situated between Torch Lake and Lake Skegemog and offers some of the finest boating in northern Michigan with access to Elk Lake, the Clam River and Clam Lake, the Grass River and Lake Bellaire providing endless boating opportunities all summer. From the permanent dock, boaters can enjoy a number of excellent restaurants, shopping in any number of waterside villages, and 100's of miles of crystal clear water. When the weather is rough on the big lakes, it's nice and quiet in the river, allowing owners to simply sit back, go for a paddle, or enjoy the passing boats and wildlife. Boating in the river is no-wake, and the river is regularly patrolled by two different Sherriff departments ensuring poor behavior is the exception. The township does allow for short term rentals with a permit, which are currently available if the new owner wishes to rent one, or both of the cottages.
