Property details

About 5968 W Houghton Lake Rd

Walk-out lower level could be finished into an additional unit maybe for a caretaker/owner residence. Western portion of property holds potential for additional construction --- possibly for additional rental cottages or another house. Launch a kayak, paddle board, and canoe rental business. Offer pontoon rentals for short-term rental clientele. Commercial zoning. Property currently sustains 36 boat slips with an annual gross rental income of $45,000 for seasonal slip rental.
