3182 Twin Pine Road

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.
