Looking for a Northern Michigan getaway where privacy, water and nature take center stage? Tucked away on 10 wooded acres with 439 feet of private frontage on peaceful Brooks Lake, this unique property offers the kind of setting that is increasingly hard to find. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has a warm, rustic feel with white ash flooring, sugar maple trim, solid maple doors and maple cabinetry. The third bedroom is non-conforming and could be better suited as a family room, bunk room, home office or additional gathering space. Outside is where this property truly shines. Spend mornings kayaking across the quiet lake, afternoons fishing from your own shoreline, or simply enjoy the wildlife and wooded surroundings. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's proximity to extensive state land and the 249-acre Pearl Lake Natural Area, offering even more opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area. A 32 x 60 insulated workshop/barn with wood heat offers plenty of room for boats, recreational toys, outdoor gear, hobbies and storage. A custom sugar shack adds another touch of Up North character. Whether you're looking for a second home, weekend getaway, recreational retreat or simply a place to unplug and enjoy nature. This property offers 10 acres, private waterfront and room to embrace the Northern Michigan lifestyle.
