Set at the start of the Whitefish Chain, where the Pine River flows into Upper Whitefish Lake, this property offers a front-row seat to one of the area’s most dynamic natural environments. The steady current and surrounding habitat attract an abundance of wildlife, from migratory birds to thriving fish populations, creating a setting that appeals as much to nature enthusiasts as it does to anglers. This stretch of the chain feels noticeably calmer, with sweeping water views and a quieter atmosphere than busier areas. A nearby public launch adds convenience without taking away from the sense of privacy. The cabin has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining its original character. An open layout was designed to capture the water from inside, complemented by new flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated lighting, and modern appliances. Bathrooms have been refreshed, and the lower-level kitchenette provides added flexibility for guests or extended stays. The walkout basement leads directly to the lakeside, where a fire pit creates an easy place to gather. The level lot offers rare, easy access to the shoreline, and the boathouse with its expansive upper deck provides a unique vantage point over the water. An asphalt circle driveway, three-car garage with potential for additional sleeping space, lean-to, and shed complete the property. With a new roof in 2025 and extensive updates already done, this is a move-in-ready opportunity to experience a quieter side of the Whitefish Chain with exceptional access to both water and wildlife.
