Traverse City, MI - Spider Lake-Sandy Frontage \ 2.39 Acres \ Sleeps 10 \ TURNKEY! Be sure to scroll down to the video to see the boat that comes with this incredible cottage in action! Timeless, classic, well loved and ready to welcome a crowd-Âťthis Spider Lake charmer is the perfect all-season getaway. Tucked down a quiet paved lane on 2.39 wooded acres, the setting offers rare privacy, buffer and natural beauty. With birdsong in the trees and fish that greet you as you stroll down the dock. Rare to have acreage ( mostly for buffer) and a lake house at the same time! This is a true turnkey opportunity-Âťeverything stays except a few personal keepsakes. Furnishings, bedding, dining room set, linens, towels, fully outfitted kitchen, everything you need to just enjoy summer! The property includes a covered boat hoist, lakeside hammock, dock, fire pit, lakeside deck, Even the boat is included: a 2006 250hp MerCruiser deck boat with swim platform, featured in the video tour. Inside, youll find flexible sleeping arrangements-Âťsleeps 4 upstairs and 6 downstairs-Âťwith plenty of room to gather, relax, or retreat. The covered porch overlooks sparkling Spider Lake, where red-winged blackbirds provide the daily soundtrack. Theres room to add a garage with bonus space-Âťor perhaps another building site among the trees. Spider Lake is beloved for its year-round recreation: boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, snowmobiling, and peaceful coffee mornings on the dock. The beach is pure sand with a sandy bottom, perfect for barefoot fun. This isnt just a cottage-Âťits a lifestyle. And no TV is needed. NOTE: Bedroom 2 and 3 are non conforming by not having a closet.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
