Welcome to your private riverfront retreat on the Little Muskegon River. Tucked away on 5 wooded acres with approximately 80 feet of Little Muskegon River frontage and over 160 acres of Manistee National Forest directly across the road, this is the kind of property where mornings begin with coffee on the screened porch, afternoons are spent exploring the river or nearby National Forest, and evenings end around the campfire while listening to the water flow. Originally built as a cabin and thoughtfully expanded over the years, this modified A-frame offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, including a loft-style third bedroom, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its natural surroundings. Spend your days kayaking, tubing, fishing, swimming, mushroom foraging, or simply relaxing as wildlife passes by. Every season brings a new reason to fall in love with this special property. The spacious screened porch quickly becomes everyone's favorite room, offering peaceful river views and the perfect place to relax or entertain. A detached two-car garage, charming riverside bunkhouse, mature trees, and plenty of outdoor space make this property ideal for weekend getaways or year-round living. Pride of ownership is evident throughout with numerous thoughtful improvements over the years, including an updated roof, windows, flooring, bathrooms, vinyl siding, heat pump mini-split system, resealed asphalt driveway, a newer well, and the addition of the bunkhouse. Spectrum high-speed internet is available, allowing you to enjoy the privacy of nature without giving up modern conveniences. Some properties are measured by square footage. Others are measured by the memories they'll create. If you've been dreaming of a place where life slows down, the river sets the pace, and nature is always just outside your door, this Little Muskegon River retreat is one you'll simply have to experience in person.
