When you dream of an “UpNorth” cottage, this two-bedroom, one bath cottage on Perch Lake in Kalkaska County is just what most people picture! This well-maintained and freshly painted cottage sits just far enough up the wooded hill from the water that you have unmatched privacy. The expansive 3-season room feels like the indoors is outdoors and becomes part of the overall living space! The bathroom is spacious, and there is a laundry room as well. The property offers a nice storage shed, electricity down by the water, and comes furnished and ready to move in! Perch Lake is a non-motorized lake, offering peace and tranquility to escape it all. Short-term rentals are allowed if you want to help offset your investment. The setting makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but it is conveniently located just 40 minutes north of Cadillac and 35 minutes south of Traverse City. Immediate occupancy is available, so come get your summer fun started!

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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