Experience the beauty of 400 feet of frontage on the legendary Holy Waters of the Au Sable River with this charming 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath riverfront ranch! Imagine waking up to the peaceful sounds of the river, casting a fly into world class trout waters, or launching your kayak right from your own backyard! This exceptional property offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience Northern Michigan at its finest, surrounded by natural beauty and bordered by state land. Situated remarkably close to the water’s edge, this home offers a rare riverfront setting that cannot be recreated under today’s waterfront setback ordinances. Perfect for year-round living or a weekend retreat, this home features a spacious living area with a gas fireplace, forced air furnace, inviting four season sunporch overlooking the river, and a new septic system for added peace of mind. In 2025, the exterior was freshly painted with new deck boards and stairs. Enjoy breathtaking river views from the large patio, tiered stairway, or riverside porch. The detached two car garage offers heated space in one half, including a workshop and dedicated fly-tying area, while the pole barn built in 2018 provides room for two large Class C RVs and additional recreational equipment. Next year marks the 78th Annual Au Sable River Canoe Marathon, one of Northern Michigan’s most celebrated summer traditions. Imagine owning your own riverfront home with a front row seat to the excitement of this legendary canoe race! Don’t just visit the Au Sable River, make it your own! Schedule your private showing and start living the riverfront lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of!
