Here is a rare opportunity to purchase lakefront property on beautiful Pine Lake in Cass County, Michigan. This offering includes three lots totaling approximately 0.57 acres with 163 feet of private lake frontage, two rustic seasonal cottages, and an elevated viewing area overlooking the lake.

The property features a sandy-bottom shoreline, mature trees, and breathtaking lake views. In addition to the existing cottages, the street-level portion of the property offers potential for a future building site, giving the next owner flexibility for future improvements while still enjoying the charm of the existing cabins.

Pine Lake is a spring-fed, 48-acre private lake known for excellent water clarity and quiet recreation. Only electric trolling motors are permitted, creating a peaceful setting ideal for fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming. The opposite shoreline is preserved natural wetlands owned collectively by the Pine Lake Association, ensuring the scenic views across the water remain untouched.

Properties on Pine Lake rarely become available, making this a unique opportunity to secure your own waterfront retreat.

The Cottages

The property includes two small seasonal cottages, each offering simple lakeside living with incredible views of the water.

Cottage #1

Approximately 443 square feet featuring:

• 1 bedroom

• Small kitchen

• Screened-in porch (approximately 170 sq ft) overlooking the lake

• Gas space heater

• Shared well service

Cottage #2

Approximately 400 square feet featuring:

• 1 bedroom

• Small kitchen

• Gas wall/floor furnace

• Shared well service

Both cottages share a small separate restroom building located between the two cabins. This structure contains a toilet and is served by the shared well and 1,000-gallon septic system. The cottages themselves do not contain bathrooms or shower facilities, consistent with their traditional seasonal lake-cabin design. Both cottages were built in 1956 and sit on slab foundations. The cottages share a 1,000-gallon septic system and well connection, with no leach field. 

Whether preserved as nostalgic lake cabins or used as the starting point for a future lakeside retreat, this property offers exceptional lake frontage and flexibility.
