The next day we decided to just go out and explore the areas close to Bellaire. We drove west to Torch Lake and then drove south on Torch Lake Drive to the town of Alden. |
A view of Torch Lake looking north from the public docks in Alden. |
Torch Lake is 19 miles long, with a width of almost 2 miles on the average. It has a depth of 297 feet. Torch Lake like most of the lakes around here were glacier carved and are spring fed. |
On the west side of Torch Lake, we stopped and looked at a property that is for sale. It has a very small 900 sq ft cottage with 1 bedroom and 1 bath. The garage has been turned into another bedroom. |
The property sits on 1.7 acres. |
Off to the south of the property is a two story garage and storage building. All this for $425,000. We would just need another $500,000 to build the mansion in front of the guest cottages. |
As we headed back south around the lake, we stopped at a home that had a FSBO on it. We called the owner for the information. He told us we could go inside because it was unlocked. |
It had a very small front yard on the main road that goes around the lake. |
The best part of the home was that it had a full length porch facing the lake. |
If interested in camping here, here is the phone number to get the specifics. |
Back on the east side of Torch Lake, we saw another side for a FSBO home. |
We called the phone # and the owner said we could walk around the property and peak in the windows. The place had a really nice deck just off the shoreline. |
Back in Bellaire we were exploring the town and found this beautiful B&B. |
The detail on this home was simple amazing! |
The B&B is called the Grand Victorian, |
and it definitely is grand! |
