Overview

Description

Absolutely charming waterfront cabin on School Section Lake in the heart of Mecosta County! "Cute" hardly begins to describe this quaint 1949 cottage, filled with classic up-north character. Warm knotty pine and a beautiful fieldstone fireplace create the perfect cabin atmosphere, while modern comforts including forced-air heat, natural gas, and central air make it enjoyable in every season. Meticulously cared for over the years, this special property offers panoramic views of School Section Lake and features the ever-so-rare boathouse right at the water's edge. An outdoor fieldstone grill adds even more character and provides the perfect setting for summer evenings by the lake. For the right offer, this could be offered as an absolute turn-key retreat—ready to start enjoying from day one. A truly special lakefront getaway where vintage charm, beautiful views, and modern convenience come together. Included in the price is a nice sized lot directly across the street.

Supplements: This will afford the buyer with the ability to construct an additional guest house or even an extra garage to house all of the toys that come with lakefront ownership. The cottage is being sold as-is and includes a pontoon boat with a 25 HP Johnson motor.
