''THE CASTAWAY'' Discover unmatched privacy and natural beauty with over 2,400 feet of winding Manistee River frontage and 20+ acres of wooded land.

Enjoy your coffee under the covered porch, follow the stairway to the water for fishing, paddling, or simply soaking in the serenity from your seat on the riverside decks. Have extra room for everyone and everything with full RV hookups including electric, water, and septic, and a two plus car garage for your gear and toys. This rare find is destined to become an heirloom property enjoyed for generations.
