Property Description

1. Expansive Lakefront Lot (Just Under 1 Acre): Unlike most properties on Houghton Lake, this home sits on a rare, oversized lot with ample parking and space for guests, trailers, and all your lake toys. No need to juggle cars or compromise on convenience. 2. Prime Location on McDonald Drive: Nestled in one of the lake’s most sought-after subdivisions, this home is located on a private lane with only three residences—perfect for families with pets or children who enjoy playing outside without the worry of traffic. It’s a peaceful, walkable area just minutes from local favorites like The Spikehorn (famous for its pizza), the county park across the street, and charming ice cream and coffee shops just a short bike ride away. 3. Ideal North Shore, West-Facing Views: Enjoy breathtaking sunsets and sunshine all day long. The west-facing orientation provides panoramic sunset views that are truly unmatched. 4. Versatile Property with Bonus Lot: In addition to the lakefront parcel, a second, separately deeded vacant lot across the private lane offers endless possibilities—RV parking, toy storage, or the potential for a second home without lakefront taxes. Perfect for multi-family buyers or those looking to expand. 5. Private Wooded Escape: A cozy wooded area with its own fire ring creates the perfect setting for camping, s’mores, or a peaceful retreat for teens or guests. 6. Beautifully Remodeled Home: The home has been completely renovated within the past 10 years—every surface updated for a clean, modern feel. Move-in ready and well-maintained. 7. Oversized Garage: A spacious 4.5-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, boats, jet skis, tools, and more. 8. Lakeside Boat House: Located just 20 feet from the water’s edge, this convenient boat house makes storing and accessing your lake gear a breeze. 9. Included Camper: A camper on-site is included with the property—great for additional guest space or weekend adventures. 10. Prime Recreation Access: Only a 5-minute drive to South Higgins Lake State Park, one of Michigan’s most scenic destinations. ⸻ Additional Details: • New well and pump (2025) • Furnace and boiler system fully serviced and upgraded (2025) • Home is owned free and clear – not a distressed sale • Land contract and lease-to-own options will be considered This has been our beloved family home for 15 years, and while we aren’t able to enjoy it as often as we’d like, we hope to pass it on to a new family ready to make lifelong memories here. Everything is negotiable: boat, dock, jet skis, kayaks, snowmobiles, golf cart, utility cart, furniture—just ask! (Toothbrush negotiable too—just kidding… unless you’re serious!)
