Property Description
Step back in time with this extraordinary turn-of-the-century gem, originally the first courthouse of Otsego County. This historic property, rich in heritage and charm, is now available for the first time in years—a rare opportunity to bring your vision to life. Once serving as Otsego County’s original seat and courthouse, this remarkable building later became Reid's Inn, then the Poplar Inn, and most recently, the Otsego Lake Inn. Today, it stands as a private home, beloved for hosting reunions, receptions, and intimate gatherings. Boasting seven bedrooms several of which have access to the second floor enclosed sleeping porch, and four well-appointed bathrooms. This expansive home also features a grand game room known as the Saloon, a formal dining room that comfortably seats 16, and a stately reception parlor. The kitchen, complete with a pantry, is designed for hosting in style, while the multiple porches and verandas invite you to relax and soak in the surroundings. The outdoor space is equally enchanting, with a full-sized hot tub perfect for stargazing and viewing the northern lights, as well as an outdoor shower area. Located just three blocks from the picturesque Otsego State Park, this property is ideally situated near the Iron-Belle biking trail and the main Otsego snowmobile trail, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. In the warmer months, explore the Golf Mecca with over thirty courses nearby, and in winter, enjoy the area’s premier skiing—both downhill and cross-country—where Mother Nature provides the best snow in the lower peninsula. This remarkable home, sitting on just under half an acre, includes an additional 1.23-acre wooded parcel, offering even more potential for expansion or privacy. Zoned R-2, the property provides a myriad of possibilities for future use. Some furniture and antiques may be included in the sale, allowing you to preserve the historic charm and character that defines this unbelievable offering.
