No busy street between you and the water, no noisy bar
next door, not musty-this bright, airy, roomy, clean and luxurious
setting is exactly what you are looking for. Well over $500,000.00
has been invested to provide you all the top drawer features of a
high end vacation home.
Situated on nearly two acres, you can enjoy the water view and sunsets
from the air conditioned comfort of the house, from the deck, or
from the platform at the end of the dock.
Why have a $4500.00 plus monthly second home mortgage payment when
you can just pick and choose the time you need, and pay for only
that time...
A typical day: Wake up in the all new second floor master bedroom. Check out the water view in the 8 foot bay window. Its early, grab a wetsuit sand snorkel and pull one of the kids to join you to go in, its really clear in the morning.
Return to breakfast sizzling in the kitchen, then its sunning on the deck. Too much sun? Crank out the rollup awning.
Maybe take a boat out to go to lunch or catch some fish. Or use the paddleboards, or watch the grandkids on the new playscape.
Take a walk to the park, bring your tennis racquet, and watch the kids on the swings. Take a drive downtown and go to the penny candy store, check out the restaurant and the carry out food at the general store.
There is pan fishing off the dock or in the canals that run next to the main road. A breakfast visit to the Schoolhouse Grille, or any meal, is fantastic.
It generally doesn't rain for days on end like Norther Michigan, but if it does, just go bowling, to a movie, or shopping on the mainland.
At night, take a sauna in the supercool outdoor sauna, have a fire on the porch, and when the mosquitos slow down, build a wood fire in the yard.
If it gets cool, build a fire in the stone fireplace inside. When its time to turn in, enjoy the electric fireplace in your room for a heat optional ambience boost.
All easy, relaxing, and nice.
