Property Description

The Fern Hill Cottage, a historic Lake Michigan shoreline retreat built in 1919 by a Chicago inventor, offers a rare opportunity to own a well-preserved, relaxing lakefront property on Big Platte Lake, renowned for its pristine water, fishing, and river access to Lake Michigan. The current owners have maintained its vintage charm with cedar siding throughout, panoramic windows, and outdoor spaces, while updating key areas like the kitchen, baths, and mechanical systems. Additions to the cottage expanded the living space and have turned this quaint cottage into a sprawling rambler home usable year-round. Located near Sleepy Bear Dunes, Frankfort, and Point Betsie Lighthouse, the cottage provides convenient access to the region's wineries, charming towns, and outdoor attractions, making it an ideal blend of historic charm and modern comfort in Northwest Michigan. This unique investment will bring years of enjoyment and a lifetime of Northern Michigan memories.

  • Nick did an awesome job in helping us find and purchase our condo. He listened to our wants and identified options and in the end we found a good fit for our needs for a vacation home Since we are far from Holland Nick set up a couple video tours to reduce travel. Thanks Nick for all the hard work and insight. We are very excited about our new home!

  • Nick was awesome to work with! I just went through the process of purchasing my first home and Nick couldn’t have made it any easier. He is super knowledgeable about the industry and the area. He answered all my questions and made sure to point out things I may not be thinking of since it was my first time going through the process. He was attentive, super responsive, easy to talk to, and truly cares about finding his clients a home they’ll love! I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future and would definitely recommend him as an agent!

  • Nick was amazing to work with! This was my first time buying a house. Nick was very patient and took the time to walk me through everything and address all my questions. He was always quick to respond. He was clearly knowledgeable about the area and was great at pointing out and educating me on issues to watch for as we walked through houses. I absolutely recommend Nick to anyone buying or selling a home, and look forward to working with him again in the future!
