8779 bingham trail

Rare opportunity to purchase a truly authentic Northern Michigan trout stream retreat. Property is nearly 8 acres, with a cabin, deck, screened porch, garage and shed with 178 feet of frontage on the North branch of the Au Sable River. Nestled into a wooded setting on county-maintained Jackson Hole Trail, and accessed by the private drive Bingham Trail, the property borders State Forest acreage on its north and east boundaries as well as directly across the river. The cabin and garage structures are full log and have been regularly maintained in very good condition. Updating and improvements has occurred over the course of the current owner's 40-year stewardship, including Anderson windows, metal roofing, hardwood floors, an en-suite bedroom & bath, laundry and sauna; while retaining.. the character of a classic Michigan fishing refuge. A field-stone fireplace is centerpiece to the main salon just off the kitchen and dining room. A detached garage has its own sleeping quarters with a second stone fireplace. A drive-through and lockable boat shed provides storage for kayaks, canoes, etc. The main cabin is two bedrooms, two full baths, kitchen, living/dining room and a sleeping loft for two.
