I'm hoping to find some acreage/ large lot around the Manistee -- traverse area in north western michigan. I'd prefer bare lot/land, but if the deal was right I'd be interested in existing cottage. Anybody know of any that is on a body of water that is water sport open and hopefully be able to dock boat in back yard? Ability to access Lake Michigan would be ideal....
What are the best Lakes to look at in the area for this? It would end up being a year round cottage -- water sports/ boating and snowmobiling/ skiing in the winter.

Thanks
Dave

Torch Lake would be the perfect place

lookin at it--- downside is no access to big lake direct-- or am i wrong with that?

You cannot access Lake Michigan from Torch by water.

Lake Charlevoix.

2nd on Char.

Arcadia or Onkema would be a area to look,Frankfort also. I'll pm you a agent we have used in the past on one of our places up this way. Century 21Boardwalk out of Manistee .

Here you go, 5 acres on the lake! Place sure has some history to it!

Just on the wrong side of the lake for you!

Part of your search should include what you need besides the lakefront. If you need a city nearby that doesn't shut down once the leafs fall you choices narrow considerably.

jupiter--- that would be quite a cottage!

i looking around manistee and noticed Portage lake, whats it like?
