Experience the peace and serenity of life on the Betsie River in this artfully crafted, custom log-sided home. Thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained, this 4-bedroom retreat blends timeless craftsmanship with quality finishes including granite countertops, tile and hardwood floors, and expansive windows that bring the river and surrounding landscape right into your living space. Set on nearly 5 acres with approximately 1,400 feet of private frontage on one of the most sought-after stretches of the Betsie River, this property offers unmatched access to some of the region’s best salmon, steelhead, and trout fishing. Launch your canoe or kayak from your own yard and spend the day winding through pristine waters, protected under the Natural Rivers Act to preserve privacy and natural beauty. The oversized garage provides plenty of room for all your up-north gear and toys. And while the setting feels completely secluded, you're just minutes from Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Crystal Mountain — offering four-season recreation including swimming, boating, tubing, skiing, and more. Lovingly cared for and never used as a rental, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a riverfront sanctuary that embodies the essence of Pure Michigan. If you value craftsmanship, privacy, and connection to nature, this is a must-see.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
