Property Description
Enjoy the quiet beauty of Northern Michigan from this unique Bear Creek property offering nearly 3 wooded acres, approximately 430 feet of private Bear Creek frontage, and another 569 feet along Horseshoe Creek on the southern boundary. With State of Michigan land directly across Bear Creek, the setting offers exceptional privacy and a true Up North feel. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features more than 2,700 square feet with warm wood interiors, exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a large fieldstone fireplace. Large windows bring the wooded surroundings indoors, while the spacious deck overlooking Bear Creek is a great place to relax and watch the river flow by. A second-floor sauna adds another inviting feature for unwinding after a day on the river, trails, or enjoying Northern Michigan outdoors. Bear Creek is one of Manistee County’s special waterways and part of the Manistee River watershed. Designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, Bear Creek is also well known for its cold-water fishery, including brook and brown trout, Chinook salmon, and steelhead, making this a particularly attractive setting for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. An oversized attached 2-car garage plus a 32' x 40' insulated detached garage provide plenty of room for vehicles, boats, fishing gear, snowmobiles, ATVs, and workshop space. Mature woods, open lawn, State land across the river, and exceptional Bear Creek frontage make this a special Northern Michigan property for year-round living or a four-season getaway.
