Wake up to the river"”both bedrooms in this beautifully maintained home greet you with a view of the West Branch of the Muskegon River. Imagine opening your eyes to the peaceful water, watching the seasons change, and enjoying those crisp winter mornings from the warmth of home. With approximately 240 feet of river frontage and a wooded backdrop that creates a tucked-away feeling, this is a place that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The care this property has received shows inside and out. This two-bedroom, one-bath stick-built home features a new metal roof and a crawl space professionally upgraded with a barrier system installed by Foundation Systems of Michigan. It's exceptionally clean"”even the crawl space reflects the sellers' attention to maintenance. The open kitchen, dining, and living area makes gathering easy, but the room you may never want to leave is the additional year-round living room. A wall of windows brings the river into view, and the sellers spend more time here than in any other room. Once you settle in, you'll understand why. Outside, three artesian wells feed a private pond and small lake. The pond is home to bluegill, perch, sunfish, and bass, so bring your fishing pole and enjoy an afternoon right at home! Two gazebos offer places to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, including one with electricity overlooking the lake"”ready for a long evening of cards and conversation. The 24×32 (heated) and 24×40 pole buildings provide room for your workshop, hobbies, and recreational equipment. A two-stall attached garage, storage shed, Generac generator, and 30-amp RV hookup round out the amenities. Set on a quiet dead-end road in Merritt, this home makes a wonderful starting point for exploring Northern Michigan. From fishing on Lake Missaukee in Lake City to days on Houghton Lake and Higgins Lake, there's plenty nearby for anyone who loves the outdoors. Its central Lower Michigan location makes it easy to head out in any direction.
