## Description

### Agent Description
Set on just over a half acre with a gentle slope to the water, this rare Spider Lake offering features over 220 feet of pristine sandy bottom frontage on one of the most desirable stretches of shoreline on the entire lake. Set in a region known for four seasons of outdoor adventure and only minutes from the energy of downtown Traverse City, this property is a place to gather, unwind, and create lasting memories for generations. The setting is ideal for swimming, boating, and enjoying the quiet beauty of Northern Michigan lake life, with direct access to one of the area's most sought after inland lakes. The existing cabin offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, all on the main floor, along with a lakeside-facing back deck that captures the natural surroundings and water views. A detached 2 car garage provides additional storage for lake toys, vehicles, and gear. Located near premier recreation destinations including the Vasa Trails, this property blends privacy with unmatched access to year round outdoor activities. An exceptional opportunity to enjoy the cottage as it is, update and expand the existing structure, or design and build your dream lakefront home on one of Spider Lake's premier parcels.
