5525 MANGUS Road Beaverton, MI 48612 8577

"Up north" cottage on Mangus, just two hours from Metro Detroit and not far from destinations in Gladwin, Midland, and state land! This 1,600 finished sq ft ranch is perched on the best part of Wixom Lake, with short-term rental potential or a quick 'home away from home'. Here, all the "pain points" of lake living are solved! The 30x40' pole barn has 200 amp service and a cement floor, along with three lots totaling over a half acre, which allow for plenty of storage and parking for guests. Its small footprint from the front deceives you, featuring a welcoming foyer with hardwood floors, large living room and balcony with sweeping, overhead views, and 2 bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill lavatory on the main level. The walkout basement continues the hardwood floors and is the ultimate entertaining space with a huge deck, flex space for a family room or large dining room, and spacious kitchen with coastal stone backsplash detail. The full bath and laundry are conveniently located in the lower level for easy access after hanging out on the lake. Enjoy el fresco dining or quiet evenings in the screened-in porch! Updates include a whole house filtration system, updated windows, and well (2020). The plans to bring back the lake are in motion, but residents have made the most of the lack of water using it as a wildlife playground where deer and side-by-sides are the new norm.
