## Description

### Agent Description
Whether you're looking for a Northern Michigan getaway or your next investment property, this turnkey home is ready to go! Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, the property generates approximately $25,000 annually while only being rented during the summer months, leaving excellent potential for additional winter income from snowmobilers and other seasonal visitors. This fully furnished 4-bedroom, 1-bath home includes lake access to a beautiful all-sports lake known for excellent fishing. The property also features a heated and air-conditioned bunkhouse, has 2 20x18 carports, storage sheds, fire pit, concrete patio, covered front porch, and covered back patio. Backing up to acres of state land and situated on a county-maintained road, this property offers year-round accessibility and endless outdoor recreation. Just 30 minutes away from Torch Lake, Traverse City, and Shanty Creek Resorts. The home is currently connected to Starlink internet, making it ideal for remote work or guests. Whether you're searching for a vacation retreat, full-time residence, or proven income-producing property, this one checks all the boxes.
