Anyone who's ever dreamed of owning their own private island will want to check out this freshly listed piece of Michigan property: A little morsel of land just off the mainland shore in an inland lake, with a cozy historic cabin to boot.

The property was listed just days ago by Get Movin’ Realty and is priced at $129,900.

Read on for more details and photos.

The island is in Long Lake, in Harrison, which is about 45 minutes directly north of Mt. Pleasant. Listing agent Vic Kuiper says Long Lake is a peaceful all-sports lake with good fishing. (Fishweb.com lists pike, perch, bluegill, bass and walleye as being among the species that anglers will find there.)

The property is approximately two hours from Grand Rapids, three hours from Detroit, one hour 45 minutes from Traverse City, and just under two hours from the Mackinac Bridge.

The island is about two-thirds of the way down the lake from the north end.

The island's cottage, which was originally built in 1924, is 567 square feet, and is snugged on several sides with a big ol' dream of a porch. The listing includes a piece of vacant property on the mainland, for parking or a garage for storage.

One important detail: The home doesn't have running water. For those who like the idea of roughing it, the island does have an outhouse -- but Kuiper says potential buyers have the option of adding on water and sewer for approximately $20k, bringing the total to just under $150k.

Kuiper says this property would be a great fit for pretty much anyone, including families with young children because the lake is shallow, sandy, clean and clear.

The home features wide-plank flooring that adds to the cottage-style charm.

The great room, with its vaulted ceilings, also has a chimney ready for a wood stove.

Kuiper says the home is a mere 600 feet from the mainland (that's less than four lengths of an Olympic-sized pool; swim commute, anyone?). It also has multiple docks for mooring boats.
