This property offers just enough seclusion from the road and neighbors and town to truly offer serenity. There's easy access to parks and town, but the peacefulness of the property can't be beat. It's one of the few places on Lake Huron where the sun sets due west, offering sweeping views of spectacular sunsets. Situated close to one of Michigan's few Dark Park Preserves, the night sky is magnificent. Constellations, the milky way, planets, satellites, and shooting stars are common. Even northern lights make an occasional appearance. On clear night you can see the glow of towns across Saginaw. Bay. By day it's an inland sea, great for swimming.
A short wooded lane provides privacy from the road. Swimming is steps away as the property shares a boathouse deck and 140 ' of private lakefront with the neighboring cottage, also available by the same owner. The entrance drive serves both properties, with 3 dedicated parking spaces reserved for the House. The top of the small hill is reserved for loading and unloading.
