Nestled on four wooded acres in the heart of Northern Michigan, on E 10th Road in Manton, this 1890 custom-built log cabin offers a rare blend of history, privacy, and outdoor opportunity. Built with old-world craftsmanship, the 469-square-foot home sits on an elevated ridge with over 300 feet of frontage on Chase Creek, a clear, spring-fed stream known for trout fishing and quiet beauty. The cabin embraces off-grid simplicity with a private well, septic system, and an outdoor bathroom and shower house. Inside, the single-level layout features one bedroom, a kitchen, a living space, and an oil space heater for warmth. A storage shed nearby keeps tools and gear within reach. While compact, the property’s surroundings provide endless room to roam. Across the road lie thousands of acres of state land, opening access to Northern Michigan’s ORV trail network, hunting grounds, and the nearby Manistee River for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. Owning land on both sides of the creek adds privacy and the option to build an additional home or retreat while keeping the original cabin intact. The lot’s gentle slope offers views of the countryside and the winding creek below, making it a peaceful spot for seasonal stays or a year-round lifestyle close to nature. Located within an easy drive of Cadillac and Traverse City, this property offers seclusion without sacrificing convenience. With its combination of usable land, historic character, and prime location, this is a rare chance to own an authentic slice of Northern Michigan.
