Property Description
Two charming cottages on beautiful Spider Lake offer a rare opportunity for personal use, investment, or both! The property includes a 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage plus a 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage with sunroom and large deck overlooking the lake. Both are cute, comfortable, and nicely updated, including mini-splits for efficient heating and cooling. Enjoy a sandy Spider Lake beach, deep level lot, and easy access to the water.--------------- A major advantage is the property's Cabin Court designation by the township, making it exempt from local short-term rental restrictionsââ¬âan increasingly valuable feature in the Traverse City area. The cottages have a good rental history and offer excellent flexibility for continued rental use, family retreats, or a combination of both.------------ Offered turnkey and ready to enjoy or rent, including furnishings, household goods, kayaks and much of what is needed to start enjoying the property from day one. Spider Lake is a beautiful all-sports lake just minutes from downtown Traverse City, with the VASA Trail, extensive state land, hiking, biking, ORV trails and year-round recreation nearby. A unique waterfront opportunity with two cottages, sandy frontage, proven rental potential and an outstanding Traverse City location!
