Sand. Water. Memories. A Rare Opportunity on Lower Herring Lake. Tucked into the woods on a full acre with nearly 220 feet of private frontage, this west-facing cottage offers something truly special—a front-row seat to unforgettable sunsets over one of Northern Michigan’s best-kept secrets. Lower Herring Lake is a quiet, crystal-clear gem—perfect for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and water skiing, with abundant wildlife and that “Pure Michigan” magic in every direction. Properties like this almost never come to market. Relax with your morning coffee on the deck, listening to the breeze through the trees and the gentle lapping of the shoreline below. Spend your days on the water, and your evenings around the fire as the sun melts into the lake. All just seven miles from the charming shops and restaurants of downtown Frankfort, a short drive to the world-class Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club, and within 20 minutes of Crystal Mountain Resort for four-season fun. A once-in-a-generation chance to own on Lower Herring. Don’t let it pass you by.

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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