Listing Description
Discover your dream Up North escape with this one-of-a-kind rustic waterfront cabin on 44± acres in Branch, Michigan. Privately tucked away behind a gated entrance on a quiet road just east of Ludington, this rare property offers roughly 1,200 feet of frontage on spring-fed Cartier Lake--a private, all-sports lake known for its crystal-clear water, peaceful setting, and fantastic fishing. Meticulously maintained trails wind throughout the wooded hills, wetlands, and open glades. Surrounded by thousands of acres of Manistee National Forest, this is a true sanctuary where nature and privacy converge. The cozy log cabin, originally built in 1947 with a 1997 addition, has been lovingly updated with a brand-new front door, new refrigerator, and fresh living room carpet--all while maintaining its original rustic character. Inside you'll find 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, a spacious family room with lake views, a wood stove, and a laundry area.
