Experience the tranquility of the Betsie River from this rustic fishing cabin set on 1 acre of prime Northern Michigan land with 103 feet of private river frontage. Located in a short-term-rental-friendly area, this unique property offers a rare opportunity for an Up North getaway, fishing retreat, investment property, or project to make your own. Perched on a bluff overlooking the Betsie River, the cabin offers peaceful views of the water, mature hardwoods, and abundant wildlife. This stretch of the Betsie is especially desirable for its highly coveted year-round fishing, with opportunities to enjoy the river through every season. A private dock/platform along the river provides a perfect spot to cast a line, relax by the water, and enjoy fishing for species including salmon and steelhead. Relax on the front porch and listen to the river flow by, or cozy up inside on cool fall nights while enjoying the natural light and wooded surroundings. The cabin has a rustic charm and is a fixer-upper with great potential, offering the basics and an opportunity for the next owner to update and make it their own. Most furnishings are included, making it easy to begin enjoying this Northern Michigan retreat right away. Set back off the road, the property has a private, secluded feel. A flat area near the road offers potential space for a future garage or additional storage. A stream also runs through the property, adding even more natural character, while the wooded back lot provides a peaceful setting to hang a hammock, catch the summer breeze, and take in the sounds of nature. Outdoor recreation surrounds you, with nearby state land and miles of ORV/ATV, snowmobile, and hiking trails, along with freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams. Enjoy fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, and everything Northern Michigan has to offer.
