Property Description

Tucked at the end of a quiet road, this beautifully updated river retreat offers privacy, wildlife, and access to exceptional Forest Lake association amenities which are surrounded by State land. Purchased in 2020 as a vacation home the property has been thoughtfully improved and well maintained. Major updates in 2021 include a new roof, central A/C, installation, luxury vinyl plank flooring on the first floor, and a complete to-the-studs renovation of the first-floor bathroom and laundry room. First-floor entry doors were replaced and high-risk perimeter trees were removed. In 2024, the high bank edge was built out to enhance river views, and in 2025 additional trees were cleared for improved up- and down-river visibility along with the installation of insulative light-filtering blinds. The home offers forced air propane heat on the main level and electric baseboard heat upstairs, two upper-level balconies, a wraparound porch, portable generator outlet, 8x12 shed, and attic access from the east upper bedroom closet. A short walk from your porch leads you to adjacent Forest Lake common property where you can access the Rifle River to view wildlife and fish for Bass, Steelhead, Walleye and Trout. Association amenities (expected $300/year for 2026) include clubhouse, all-sports Forest Lake, beach, multiple boat launches, campground access for owners and guests, gated storage area, organized events throughout the year, and additional optional clubs and services. More information can be found at https://www.forestlakepoa.com. A peaceful setting with abundant wildlife completes this move-in-ready Northern Michigan retreat.
