Own a piece of Northern Michigan Lake frontage for a reasonable price! Check out this adorable furnished cottage overlooking Sapphire Lake with 65 ft. of deeded lake access. There are 5 lots with this property so down the road if you wish to expand or even replace this home there are so many options with 5 lots to work with. The house rests on 3 of the lots with 2 more right across the street. This would make a great place to build a storage building. 5 lots are a rare find for lake living!! This 2 bedroom, 1 bath home also has an enclosed front porch overlooking the lake for additional living space. The multitiered decking allows for great views of the lake, with lighting strung through the trees providing ambience for those beautiful summer evenings. The beach is sandy and has great access from the home that overlooks it. During the winter months, curl up with a good book around the wood burning fireplace. The dock is already in the water, so no need to worry about that. Enjoy the fireworks from the deck on the 4th of July during the Greatest Fourth in the North. Lake Missaukee is also adjacent to Sapphire Lake, and Lake City boasts many wonderful eateries. Don't miss this one! Affordable lakefront living!!
