What’s new at Rivers Bend? Well, there’s a new price…

We’ve reduced to $695,000 on this exquisite retreat- a reduction of $170,000 from the original price, and WELL below the total invested in this property.

As the salmon fishing heats up in the Betsie River, so has the opportunity to own one of the rarest, most exclusive properties on this blue ribbon trout stream.  This one of a kind peninsula is wrapped in over 4000 feet of prime fishing waters, with resident brown trout, spring steelhead runs and fall salmon runs.  A fly fishing dream come true, with a compound taken straight from the pages of an Orvis catalog, including a sun room overlooking several hundred feet of river frontage.

The sellers were kind enough to share this slide show they created for their property:

Day Dock in the news!

Taken direct from www.9and10news.com!

A new dock is making a splash in a small Northern Michigan community.

There hasn’t been a public dock in the village of Beulah for years, until the Beulah Boosters made it happen.

Businesses say the new dock will bring more people to the area, and that’s good for the entire community.

There are roughly 1,000 homes on Crystal Lake, and that means a lot of boat traffic.

“Customers come in and they’ll ask… ‘is there a place we can bring our boats over in the summer time and tie up and just come into town and have dinner or do a little shopping or come to one of the concerts in the park,’” said Steve Loveless, Owner of State of the Art Framing and Gallery and the Crystal Lake Community Business Association President.

Jennifer Profitt and Photojournalist Justin DePrekel checked out the new dock and have more on the story.

Video Tour

I shot this video of this prime piece of Betsie River real estate on a beautiful late July evening- I could almost hear the brown trout rising in the Betsie River.  This riverfront property is truly a paradise for a fly fishing enthusiast, or anyone who loves the flow of nature.

Here’s a link to more information about this property.

Trail of gold

I figured this was our last shot of sunshine for the day.  We stopped to let the kids swim near the drop off.

Hot deal with a lake to cool off in

To be clear, I have not yet been out to this listing, and I’ve been fooled before.  But I noticed in on the MLS and if someone is looking for a “starter” getaway on a lake in Northwest Michigan, this bears consideration.

It’s an older mobile home (yeah, I know, not exciting so far) on an 80 foot lot on Lake Ann, which is a really nice lake that’s about 15 miles from Traverse City.  Price is just $150,000.

Nothing fancy, just a relatively inexpensive lakefront getaway.
