The house has been well maintained and features new in 2022 a wall furnace, well, and septic system, plus a brand-new outdoor shower added this year. The utility room provides storage and a washer and dryer, while the shed offers plenty of space for kayaks, lake toys, outdoor equipment, and gear. After a day enjoying the sandy shores and crystal clear waters of Torch Lake, return home to relax around the campfire and enjoy the view of the stars. Set on a paved, county maintained dead end road, surrounded by woods, this property offers a quiet setting while keeping you close to Torch Lake, Torch River and the Chain Of Lakes for boating, swimming, kayaking, fishing and exploring. Winter skiing, snowmobiling and ice fishing are all available when the seasons change. Traverse City is 30 minutes away, Kalkaska, Bellaire and Elk Rapids are all 15 minutes from the house.
