Briley Township Montmorency, MI 49709

This riverfront home offers a charming aesthetic with a barn-style design, exposed beams, and numerous farmhouse finishes throughout the interior. The home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large sunroom. Situated on over six acres along Crooked Creek, the property also includes an attached garage, a 24x25 pole barn with a concrete floor, and a 27x36 detached garage with insulation, a wood stove, and two 220-volt circuits. The large garage also features an enclosed 8x30 lean-to and an open 8x21 lean-to. The largest upstairs bedroom has a 7x11 enclosed balcony overlooking the yard and river. The main-floor bedroom offers a private entrance, a covered porch, and direct access to the sunroom, laundry room, and bathroom. Both the dining and living rooms are enhanced with natural gas fireplaces. The property also features a blacktop circle driveway, providing easy access for trailers and larger vehicles. Conveniently located, it sits just about a mile from town, 400 feet from the snowmobile trail, 1.25 miles along a county road to the ATV trails, 1,000 feet to a DNR beach and boat launch on Crooked Lake, and only half a mile from the local school. Crooked Creek is a gentle stream that can be navigated by canoe or kayak. It holds smallmouth bass-some of surprising size-and used to experience substantial common carp and sucker runs that would gather at the dam just upstream of the property. The creek flows from the Crooked Lake impoundment, past the property, until it joins the Thunder Bay River. The most recent fisheries report for Crooked Lake indicated good fishing for a variety of game and table fare species.
