Lakefront opportunity on Portage Lake’s sought-after south shore!
This rare 1-acre parcel features a 475-foot-deep lot with 107 feet of prime lake frontage, offering wide-open water views and unforgettable summer sunsets. The existing ranch home (approximately 2,400 square feet) has been taken down to the studs and is ready for a new owner’s vision, whether that’s a full renovation or the perfect site for a brand-new lake home. Enjoy sun-filled southern exposure and direct access to the water. Put your dock out front and have all your summer toys right at your doorstep. A detached 2-car garage offers extra storage for boats, kayaks, or seasonal gear. Properties on this stretch rarely come available, so bring your contractor, architect, or creative imagination to make this your forever lake retreat. Portage Lake offers direct access to Lake Michigan, making it ideal for boating, kayaking, and water sports. Whether it’s summer on the lake or winter days skiing at Crystal Mountain or Caberfae Peaks, this location has something for every season. With golf at a dozen nearby courses, including Arcadia Bluffs Golf right off scenic M-22 Highway, plus the charm of nearby Manistee, you’ll enjoy the best of northern Michigan lake life year-round. Select photos are AI-generated and shown for inspiration to help visualize the property’s renovation or new build potential.
