Set along the peaceful shores of Lake Placid, this rare waterfront offering includes more than 274 feet of private frontage and four separate parcels totaling just over 4 acres. Originally built as a 480-square-foot summer cottage, the property has served as a cherished Northern Michigan retreat for more than three decades. What began as a simple getaway became a place to unplug, gather with family, and enjoy life on the lake. The sale includes the furnished cottage, a detached 672-square-foot garage, an additional storage shed, and all three adjoining vacant parcels. Whether you're looking for a private waterfront escape, future building opportunities, or a property to enjoy for generations, the flexibility and scale of this offering are increasingly difficult to find. Lake Placid is known for its peaceful setting, abundant wildlife, and opportunities for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, and year-round enjoyment of the outdoors. There is no HOA, and the property is not currently subject to short-term rental restrictions, offering flexibility for personal use, investment potential, or both. Located in Kalkaska, just 40 minutes from downtown Traverse City, this property offers a unique combination of waterfront, acreage, privacy, and convenience. For the first time in more than three decades, this special property is ready to welcome its next chapter.
