Waterfront cottage with 75 ft private, direct frontage on all-sports Big Platte Lake in Benzie County. Fish or launch your boat from the dock, a sunny place for sunbathers. This spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bath residence features a lake-facing, glassed-in sunporch with a vaulted ceiling, a huge Great Room with knotty-pine-paneled living and dining areas, and a wood-burning, stone-surround fireplace. The dining room, kitchen and sunporch all have terrific views of the lake's blue-green waters. Sip your coffee and your cocktails in the cheerful, laid-back sunporch and drink in the views of water, hills and sky. Chase the chill in the off season by cozying up to the fireplace. Watch cable TV or surf the web during your down time. Everything is here for a great escape for you or your guests. This cottage has always been in the loving care of the same family. The yard includes a sunny corner for your flowers, surrounded by a lush canopy of mature trees. There's plenty of room in the 32x24 detached garage to store your vehicles and gear. Build a fire in the campfire ring and tell tall tales while listening to nature's night noises. Big Platte Lake offers lots of opportunity for playtime with exceptional boating, sailing, swimming, fishing and water sports. Paddle from here to Lake Michigan via the Platte River, or briefly roll your wheels to the Sleeping Bear Dunes sandy National Lakeshore beside Lake Michigan.
