This rustic retreat boasts a total of 200’ of frontage (100’ on both sides) of the crystal clear Boardman River, a Michigan DNR-designated Blue Ribbon Trout Stream. Frontage on the dock side of the river has easy walk-in access, with a clean sand and rock bottom. Situated mid-way between the Brown Bridge and Shumsky canoe landings, you can take a relaxing kayak trip after work and be home in time for dinner. Approximately 2.1 partially wooded acres provide tons of privacy with excellent access to the east, west, and south sides of Traverse City. A paved road, gated drive, and cable TV/internet all add to the convenience of this location. Hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, and riding trails are just minutes away. The full log home is perfect for entertaining or relaxing, with two huge, screened porches, a large deck (being freshly stained), and a free-standing wood-fired sauna. Inside, you will find a spacious living room with maple floors, soaring ceilings, full-log beams, a stone wood-burning fireplace, and a gas fireplace. A 1939 Old Town canoe provides cozy lighting, while two sets of sliding doors, a large picture window, and skylights let in plenty of natural light. The kitchen was updated in 2020 with new hickory cabinets, zinc countertops, a large, hammered copper sink, and a new dishwasher. The kitchen is open to the dining room, with gorgeous outdoor views and a cozy gas fireplace. A full bath / laundry room / pantry completes the downstairs, and includes a hammered copper bathtub, an antique copper kettle sink, and custom fixtures to complement a river-side lifestyle. Upstairs you will find a loft bedroom with a wall of closets, two linen closets, a ¾ bathroom with new vanity, and the master bedroom with a walk-in closet and spectacular view of the river. A detached 2-car garage with second-floor storage, three small outbuildings, and RV parking give you room for all of your tools and toys. Other enhancements include new metal roofing on the house and garage (2020) exterior log sealing (2020), new well pump (2020) encapsulated crawl space, and a geoflow drip dispersal septic system sized for a three-bedroom home in case of future expansion (no holding tanks!).
