6163 Cedar River RD Mancelona, MI 49659

Designed by a museum exhibit architect, this timber frame cottage stands among the trees in the Cedar River Valley. A gravel driveway winds to a seculded spot featuring a well built home for weekends, summer residency, or year round living. On 6+ acres, explore 260 feet of the Ceder River on the northeast side of the property or meander to the fit pit and listen to the soothing river sounds. Inside you'll find a wide open space with beautiful windows to bring nature in and plenty of natural light to show off the Western Red Cedar and Brazilian hardwood floors. There is a gorgeous kitchen with granite countertops, maple cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. Check out the use of metal hangers from an old industrial warehouse - these little details blend modern and old in the best way. The upper bedroom has a sitting area which is highlighted by the tall pine ceiling and railings. The railings and built in shevles were hand made by the architect. The foyer tile by the side door is also handmade. Unique bathrooms; one has a walk in shower with stone tile and copper clad walls. The outside 14 x 20 workshop would make a sweet artists den, writers cave, or kids play area. From here you are only ten minutes from local attractions like Shanty Creek Resort. This is a rare find ... come look today.
