Tucked away just five miles east of Portage Lake, this might just be the best-kept secret in the area. A private cedar log home with over 2,500 square feet of space, set on more than three wooded acres, offering incredible views of Chief Lake. This peaceful, all-sports lake is perfect for boating, swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, or just soaking in the quiet beauty. With 75 feet of private lake frontage, there's plenty of room to unwind and take it all in. Step outside and you'll find even more to love—an 18x36 heated in-ground pool for warm summer days and an oversized pole barn with plenty of space for toys, tools, and storage. A spacious attached two-car garage adds even more convenience. Inside, the craftsmanship shines—four sets of sliding doors open onto a huge deck with sweeping lake views. The great room features a wood stove, perfect for those chilly winter evenings after a day of skiing, snowshoeing, or exploring the trails. Whether it’s morning coffee by the water or evenings by the fire, this home was built for making the most of every season. Close to Lake Michigan, Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Mountain, and some of the best trout streams around. If you've been looking for that perfect lakefront retreat, this one is worth seeing.
