Please google Secord Lake for details. Price goes up when the water does. . Waterfront cottage on a quiet corner of all-sports Secord Lake. This home was just completely renovated. . When you approach from the road, you see a fairly typical single-story cabin complete with a picket fence, a yard large enough for a family reunion camp out, and an outdoor shed. The structure itself has no maintenance vinyl siding and a metal roof. Fresh wood chips, landscape rock and a freshly planted lawn of micro clover provide a much lower level of maintenance than typical grass. A newer mower, basic tools and water toys are waiting in the shed. When you open the front door, you are immediately greeted by the scent of fresh pine. The entire interior is finished with beautiful knotty pine over several inches of energy-conserving spray foam insulation. The interior pine gives you a rustic, cozy feel but the amenities and energy efficiency are completely updated, including all new plumbing, electric and well. Two bedrooms and a sleeping loft provide plenty of space for 6 or more adults (2 queens & full/twin bunk) to rest after a day out on the boat that is docked just down the steps. There is over 1100 square feet of outdoor decking in addition to a stone fire pit area and outdoor kitchen. If you do happen to need to be indoors, there is a comfortable, furnished living area and a kitchenette complete with a hidden large pantry and a washer/dryer combo concealed under the custom made concrete countertop. The 48” wide new shower is an unexpected surprise in the very comfortable but tiny bathroom. Every nook and cranny has been used to its' best advantage - hidden medicine cabinets and secret compartments, even steel pipe running through the ceiling in the bedrooms to provide places to hang hammocks for extra sleeping space or just to hang your clothes. Room darkening curtains let you sleep in as long as you like. Climate control is easily handled with thermostat-controlled air conditioning and a propane fireplace that you can activate from your smartphone so you can have it warm before you arrive. Being outdoors is what it’s all about at the Treehouse. The large 576 sq ft deck is canopied by a beautiful giant oak tree that is growing right up through the center (hence, “The Treehouse”), providing an abundance of shade, a great place to hang the hammock chair, and even protection from light rain. A single flight of stairs leads to an additional 600 square feet of deck at the water with plenty of space to park two or more boats and store the kayaks. Included with the sale is a completely redone 24-foot pontoon so that you are ready to head out on the water from the first day that the water returns to proper levels. Only 2 hours north of Metro Detroit makes for a short commute to your up north sanctuary! 2087 acre Secord Lake provides 3 public access points, stores, bar and restaurants all on the water - 2 sandbars and 52 miles of waterway make for all-day boating fun! Within walking distance to thousands of acres of state land if ATVs or hunting are more your thing. This vacation getaway is ready when you are, completely furnished right down to the new dishes and marshmallow forks. Just pack up your clothes and toothbrush!
