The Crystal River Slowly meanders through upland and lowland areas, sourced from the Glen Lake Watershed, the springs in the hills and along the shorelines that surround Little and Big, Glen and Fisher Lakes, on it's way to Lake Michigan. It wraps around two sides of this remarkable new offering, nearly 5 acres, with approximately 1400 feet of frontage, guarded by stately oaks and majestic pines. A circa 1945 farm house/cottage was added on to around 1990 to expand the living and resting areas, and has a cool, cottage vibe, with hard pine floors, barn beam accents, some "wavy glass" window sashes in the vintage wing, cozy wood stove, eclectic bathroom appointments, traditional covered porches, and large deck over looking the Crystal River. A lovely spot to enjoy and contemplate life. This special property is a one of a kind, Renovate the existing cottage or know that there's plenty of room to create a wonderful family compound, fishing lodge, or ultimate Glen Arbor legacy home. A vintage barn/garage/workshop offers great utility, would make a fabulous studio overlooking the river as it meanders along the sunrise side of the land. Protected lands nearby are owned by the The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Glen Arbor Township, it doesn't get much better than this! The sellers respectfully ask for 4 hour notice for showings, and will need adequate time after closing to remove personal property.
