Privately tucked away behind a gated entrance on a quiet road just east of Ludington, this rare property offers roughly 1,200 feet of frontage on spring-fed Cartier Lake-a private, all-sports lake known for its crystal-clear water, peaceful setting, and fantastic fishing. A towering, elevated hill guards the approach from the south, creating unmatched seclusion and stunning panoramic views. Meticulously maintained trails wind throughout the woods, wetlands, and open glades. Surrounded by thousands of acres of Manistee National Forest, this is a true sanctuary where nature and privacy converge. The cozy log cabin, originally built in 1947 with a 1997 addition, has been lovingly updated with a brand-new front door, new refrigerator, and fresh living room carpet-all while maintaining its original rustic character. Inside you'll find 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, a spacious family room with lake views, a wood stove, and a laundry area making it ideal for both seasonal retreats and year-round living. A 26x42 heated pole barn with dual overhead doors, electric, and a poured concrete floor provides secure storage for boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, and more. Outdoor enthusiasts will find top-tier hunting for deer, turkey, and waterfowl, as well as direct access to world-class fishing on Cartier Lake and nearby Lincoln, Pere Marquette, and Manistee Rivers some of the best trout and salmon waters in the Midwest. Just 30 Miles from Ludington and minutes from Round Lake, Tallman Lake, and Ford Lake, this property offers the perfect balance of remote serenity and convenient access. It's the kind of place you have to experience to truly understand the peaceful stillness, the scent of mature pine, and the sweeping lake views from the hilltop.
