Welcome to 11550 N Hilltop Drive! This stunning, waterfront, custom-built log home on Cool Lake offers incredible views of this Northern Michigan recreational paradise. Enter this grand home, built with imported logs from British Columbia, and be welcomed into the living room by soaring vault ceilings and a gorgeous stone fireplace. Exposed log beams and waterfront views are featured in the kitchen and dining area, while a slider leads out to an expansive wrap-around deck, perfect for summer grilling and relaxing. The main floor also features two full bathrooms, one bedroom, office, and laundry. Up the open staircase, the primary bedroom suite features a private balcony overlooking the lake, custom built-ins, and an adjoining tiled bathroom with jetted tub. A large finished space above the garage is perfect for storage and additional closet space. Downstairs offers a large family room or recreational room and an additional bedroom suite with a private walkout entrance to a patio level, along with additional storage. There are premium amenities at every turn, including Geothermal heating and cooling, a Generac whole-home generator, and the attached, insulated 3-stall garage with ample workshop space. Outside a beautiful custom firepit and patio area is perched on the hill overlooking the water, with treated stairs leading down to the water and the dock for pontoon or fishing boats. Cool Lake is a true treasure and one of the area's best kept secrets. This 83-acre, spring-fed lake is part of the Little Manistee Watershed and boasts crystal-clear water and a robust fishery, including brown trout, walleye, perch, pike, largemouth bass, and panfish. The private lake has no public access, and is motorized and no wake; perfect for enjoying a pontoon boat ride on endless summer days without noisy speedboats and jet skis buzzing around. Instead, enjoy the call of the resident loons and catch frequent glimpses of bald eagles, cranes, and trumpeter swans. The surrounding area is a recreational paradise, with thousands of acres of Manistee National Forest in every direction. Enjoy hunting, fishing, ORV trails, snowmobiling, kayaking, hiking, and so much more. Lovingly cared for by the original owners of 30+ years, this property offers an amazing opportunity for the next owners to bring their vision and impart their own legacy. Begin dreaming about summer days on the lake and schedule your showing today!
