Welcome to Bear Lake! After 80+ cherished years, this beloved family retreat is now ready for a new generation to create lasting memories. Nestled on the scenic south shore of the serene 1,800-acre Bear Lake, this lakefront home captures the essence of northern Michigan's lakeside living. Boasting over 167 feet of pristine lake frontage, the property features a private dock for boats and water toys, ensuring endless days of fun on the water. The expansive waterfront yard is perfect for gatherings, with ample space for cookouts, campfires, and yard games. The screen porch and the second-floor balcony provide a breathtaking view of the tranquil waters, offering a peaceful spot to relax and unwind. Inside, the cottage offers four comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with forced heat and air conditioning to ensure year-round comfort. The oversized garage provides plenty of storage for vehicles and lake gear, making it the ideal base for all your adventures. Situated just two miles east of the scenic M22, this home is a short 20-minute drive from Crystal Mountain for skiing and golfing, 40 minutes from the iconic Sleeping Bear Dunes, and only 1 hour from the vibrant downtown Traverse City, known for its dining, shopping, and entertainment. Additionally, the prestigious Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club, renowned for its stunning courses and luxury amenities, is just a short drive away, offering both leisure and elegance. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Bear Lake history. Cottages with this much lake frontage in this sought-after area seldom come to market, making it a truly special find. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures or craving peace and tranquility, this lakeside retreat delivers it all. Immediate possession at closing ensures you can complete your winter renovations in time for summer!
