Property Watch: Opportunity In Omena

This pretty green gem of a farmhouse sits around the bend from Omena Bay, on Mougey Lake (5330 W Bayshore Dr.; $845,000; MLS#1903803).

Though it still has most of the original wood floors throughout the main level, the home has had a top-to-bottom update including the primary bedroom with private bath and a walk-in closet; upper-level bedroom with views of the lake; a loft open to the lower level and a full bath; and a bright and sunny screened in porch with views of Mougey Lake, a nonmotorized lake filled with bass and pickerel.

Listing agent Lynne Moon of Real Estate One Traverse City shares that there is a designated place to park an RV on the two-acre lot with a drain to the septic field.

It’s a two-minute walk to the darling burg of Omena, and its classic post office, gallery, eatery, winery and iconic Omena Bay Country Store.

Longtime Omena resident and Omena Historic District historian Marsha Beuhler shares the backstory on this special place, listed in the National Register in 2017: Much of the house was built in 1898 around the earlier home of Mary Ke way saw no quay. It was then owned by the Anderson family for many years, occupied by their orchard manager, and expanded several times as a family and vacation home.
