Property Description
Step into a remarkable piece of Northern Michigan history with this one-of-a-kind property, rich in heritage, character, & charm.

The home sits on just under half an acre & includes an additional 1.23-acre wooded parcel, offering added privacy & space to explore. Located 3 blocks from Otsego State Park & boat launch & near the Iron Belle Trail & main Otsego snowmobile trail, this property offers year-round access to Northern Michigan recreation. During the warmer months, enjoy the renowned Gaylord Golf Mecca & its numerous championship golf courses, while winter brings nearby downhill & cross-country skiing opportunities. The seller has completed extensive work throughout the years, including updates to the plumbing, electrical, & HVAC systems, while preserving much of the home's original character.
