Property Description
Nestled along the banks of the Rapid River, this charming 860 sq. ft. log cabin sits on 2.85 private acres with 428 feet of beautiful river frontage. Known as one of Northern Michiganââ¬â¢s premier trout streams, the Rapid River is celebrated for its Brook, Brown, Rainbow, and Steelhead fishingââ¬âmaking this property a true retreat for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. The rustic log cabin features warm wood interiors, skylights that bring in natural light, a cozy wood stove, and a screened porch overlooking the peaceful river, creating the perfect setting to relax after a day on the water. Ideally located just 45 minutes from the famed Holy Waters of the Au Sable River and within easy reach of the Jordan, Boardman, and Manistee Rivers, the property offers access to some of the best fishing in the Midwest. Itââ¬â¢s also only minutes from Torch Lake and the village of Alden, and 30 minutes to Traverse City, blending a secluded Up North feel with convenient nearby amenities. An additional 2.66 acre vacant riverfront parcel located upriver is also available for purchase, offering the opportunity to expand your frontage and privacy. Perfect as a fishing retreat, Up North getaway, or future riverfront homestead, this property offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy one of Northern Michiganââ¬â¢s most treasured trout streams.
