6051 N Manistee River Road

Frederic Township, MI 49733

A true one-of-a-kind property, direct-private frontage and turnkey home, thoughtfully improved, and nearly impossible to find in this price range. Come see and feel the magic for yourself. Masterfully restored and set in a “river-runs-through-it” backdrop, this rare offering places you directly above the North Manistee River on a full-length covered deck. Known statewide for its blue-ribbon fly fishing, clear cold waters, and lazy tubing stretches, the river winds through towering trees that evoke the serene beauty of Big Sur. With thousands of acres of state land as your only neighbor across the water, your view remains untouched—no houses, just nature to look at. Kayaking this river rivals the Platte, Crystal or AuSable, with so much state land, you feel you are on your own. Ideally located: close enough to enjoy Grayling’s new hotspot status with exceptional restaurants, artisan shops and cultural energy that rival Glen Arbor (at a fraction of the price!) . The exciting new arrival of the SAAB company will enhance this movement, yet this home is distant enough that you never hear the bustle of town. Access to world-class snowmobile and ATV trails adds to the four-season lifestyle. Recent updates include: new roof, new septic, freshly painted exterior preserving the classic cabin aesthetic, enclosed storage under the deck perfect for summer toys, three aluminum canoes, all-new interior flooring, and main-floor living throughout. Layoutfeatures a bright laundry room, open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living. 3 bedrooms, one being a private primary en-suite overlooking the river. Updates that do not distract from the up north cabin feel you will get here. A true one-of-a-kind property, turnkey, thoughtfully improved, and nearly impossible to find in this price range. Move in and just start enjoying. Come see and feel the magic for yourself. Owner is a licensed Associate Broker in the state of Michigan.
