Rare Piece of Property Available on Lake Charlevoix!

Private Parcel

 This is a wonderful 4.5 acre private parcel located in a protected bay on the south side of the main body of Lake Charlevoix with 345' of frontage.  One of many nice features of this property is the hard sand bottom frontage that everyone craves.  The sandy lake bottom very gradually drops off allowing for a large area for swimming but deep enough for a boat to be close to shore.

Hard Sandy Bottom!

If privacy is what you desire, this parcel is lined with trees on either side and you'll never know there's anyone close by!
The classic cabin has a natural rock fireplace, 3 bedrooms and 1 bath.  It also has a separate sleeping quarter near a babbling artesian well (see video below) and a covered gazebo for hanging out at the lake.

Boyne City is a convenient 11 minute drive away with restaurants, shopping, and regular fun!  A popular golf course is across the street and the Ironton Ferry is also close so you can jump over to drive up to Charlevoix.

with surveys, disclosures, etc.  mls #459222

How Does All of This Harsh Winter Weather Affect Real Estate?

As with most things, the harsh winter weather tends to slow things in the real estate business.

Normally, during this time of year, we begin to see inventory build.  Savvy sellers are getting their homes on the market to beat the "competition" of other homes that are in the same price range.  By bringing their home to market sooner that other homes while inventory is low they are hoping to catch the eye

of a buyer who has yet to find the home they've been searching for since last year.

Is it more challenging to list your home for sale in the winter in northern Michigan?  Yes, it is. The exterior/landscape doesn't look great, you have to keep the snow and ice under control, you'll have people looking at your home and potentially tracking in snow.  And when your home sells you may have to move in it! 

On the other hand...since inventory is low, you may garner a higher price for your home since there are fewer homes to compete with yours.  Also, you may NOT have to move if the buyer is willing to take occupancy at a later date, allowing more time for you to move out and/or find a place to go.  Most of us have seasonal pictures of the exterior and can show potential buyers what your home looks like in the spring, summer, and fall.

With this onslaught of winter, 2019 is shaping up to having an even slower start with property listings.  There's plenty of time to make an appointment with me and I can consult you as to what the best timing is for your home to be listed.  It may depend on price range, property type, or location, for example.

Listing now could make a big difference in how much you put in your pocket at close so contact me now to discuss.  231.590.8230  brett@patobrien.com
