What makes this property unique

This property features 160 ft. of private frontage on Walloon Lake, one of Michigan's finest inland lakes - only 6 miles south of Petoskey, Michigan and close to other interesting towns, activities and places to see. Quiet in nature, our 1 acre property is largely surrounded by trees - behind our property on the other side of the road is a large woods (Nature Preserve), with some very nice walking paths.
