An extraordinary AuSable River retreat! Nestled on 10.6 wooded acres with approximately 410 feet of frontage on the South Branch of the AuSable River, this charming 3-bedroom cottage sits just steps from the water's edge. Located just two properties from the confluence with the Mainstream, this is a truly exceptional setting for fly-fishing enthusiasts, offering outstanding trout waters and renowned Brown Drake and Hex hatches. Inside, warm knotty pine interiors, wood floors, vaulted ceilings, updated kitchen and expansive windows create an inviting Northern Michigan atmosphere filled with rustic charm. Step outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of the river, gather around the beautiful stone fire pit, or unwind in the sauna or riverside gazebo. A pole barn with additional bunkhouse accommodations and a lean-to offers plenty of space for guests, recreational equipment, and all your up-north adventures. Bordering public land on two sides, the property provides remarkable privacy and an abundance of opportunities to explore the surrounding natural beauty. Whether you're casting a line at daybreak, enjoying evenings around the fire, or simply relaxing to the peaceful sounds of the river, this is more than a cottage--it's a special place to escape, unwind, and create memories for generations to come.
