Welcome to Twin Pine Lodge, on the storied "Holy Waters" of the Au Sable River, renowned within the fly fishing community for water so pristine it helped define catch-and-release fly fishing, & prized to this day for its prolific hatches, especially the legendary Hex hatch that draws anglers from across the country. This is hallowed ground, & Twin Pine Lodge offers a rare chance to experience it. Once a historic fly fishing lodge, it's now a private residence with approximately 230' of gin clear, spring-fed river frontage & a sandy bottom free of muck. Upstream, no development is visible; downstream, only a historic 1928 boathouse breaks the tree line. The setting is private yet just 15 minutes to Grayling for groceries & dining. The house offers 3,000+ SQFT, 6 bedrooms & 3 full baths. Historic lodge charm carries through every room, paired with true luxury comforts. Permalog exterior & metal soffit & fascia keep it extremely low maintenance. New full house generator keeps every system running without interruption. New architectural wood decks, stairs to the water & oversized dock (grandfathered in, since no dock this size could be built today). A screened river house sits directly on the water by the dock, also grandfathered, with a reinforced foundation - the perfect place to wait for the evening hatch. The 4.7 acre lot includes a stocked pond with perch & bluegill. An oversized heated 40' x 28' garage - cedar exterior, insulated pine paneling - fits four cars + toys & would convert easily to a guest house. A dry, full basement, full attic & large wood shed round out the storage. Forest Dunes, among Golf Digest's top 100 US courses, is 20 min away & thousands of acres of BLM land nearby for XC skiing, hunting & fishing. This section of the Au Sable is in the National Wild & Scenic River System, established in 1968, which means the uninterrupted view both upstream & downstream cannot change - ever! This is the best, uninterrupted section of the entire Holy Water.
