Property Description
Nestled in the trees along a quiet stretch of Catherine Road in Fountain, Michigan, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the kind of northern Michigan living that's hard to find at this price point -- private, peaceful, and genuinely move-in ready. The home spans 1,456 square feet of main floor living plus a full basement, giving you room to spread out, store gear, or finish additional space down the road. The layout is comfortable and functional, with a spacious kitchen island that naturally becomes the gathering place, a living room built for relaxing after a long day outside, and a primary bedroom with a private ensuite. The large back porch extends your living space outdoors, and the u-shaped driveway handles everything you bring with you. Long Lake is minutes away with both association and public access. The Pere Marquette River -- one of the Midwest's premier trout and salmon fisheries -- is right down the road, and Manistee National Forest puts vast stretches of public hunting and recreation land within easy reach. When you need it, US-10 connects you quickly to Ludington, the State Park, shopping, and Spectrum Health Ludington Hospital. Whether you're looking for a full-time home in the woods or a northern Michigan base camp for the whole family, this property delivers on both.
