Rivers Bend on the Betsie

Rivers Bend on the Betsie is an incomparable Betsie River enclave with over 4000 feet of frontage and 25 acres of your own private peninsula. The home sits at the neck of the peninsula, allowing two ends of the home to overlook a different stretch of river, for a truly irreplicable setting. Outstanding quality and thoughtful design is evident throughout the home which features cork flooring, custom hand carved mantel and entry door, granite counter tops and a wonderful sunroom facing that views a sweeping bend in the river. The same quality carries over to the carriage house over the three car garage. Additional features include a four car garage and workshop, a screen house with center fire pit and a gated access road. Wood chip walking trails feature strategically placed benches, and spurs lead to prime fishing spots on this blue ribbon trout stream. This exclusive Betsie Riverfront compound is for sale, and represents a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of waterfront real estate.

What's new at Rivers Bend? Well, there's a new price...

We’ve reduced to $695,000 on this exquisite retreat- a reduction of $170,000 from the original price, and WELL below the total invested in this property.

As the salmon fishing heats up in the Betsie River, so has the opportunity to own one of the rarest, most exclusive properties on this blue ribbon trout stream.  This one of a kind peninsula is wrapped in over 4000 feet of prime fishing waters, with resident brown trout, spring steelhead runs and fall salmon runs.  A fly fishing dream come true, with a compound taken straight from the pages of an Orvis catalog, including a sun room overlooking several hundred feet of river frontage.

The sellers were kind enough to share this slide show they created for their property:

Video Tour

Shot on a beautiful late July evening- I could almost hear the brown trout rising in the Betsie River.  This property is truly a paradise for a fly fishing enthusiast, or anyone who loves the flow of nature.

Early summer at Rivers Bend

The sellers of this property just emailed these photos of their property to
me. The ones from the water were taken during a canoe trip with their
neighbors.

My favorites are the view of the bend in the river, and the one showing a
visitor they found virtually "on their doorstep".

Interior of the log cabin at Rivers Bend

This log home sits at the neck of a peninsula, situated such that the living room and sunroom overlook a sweeping bend in the river, while the master bedroom looks out at an entirely different stretch which is actually over a quarter mile downstream as the river flows.  Custom woodwork is present throughout, including hand carvings on the front door and mantle.  The entry and kitchen feature cork floors, and the granite countertops in the kitchen evoke memories of clear streams flowing over gravel beds.
