Property Description
This charming 4-bedroom cottage sits on 1.05 acres along the St. Clair River and offers one of the best sandy shorelines on the island-perfect for swimming, sunbathing, launching into the water, or simply enjoying barefoot summer days. With classic island character and comfortable living spaces, it's an ideal weekend retreat or seasonal getaway. Step inside to a warm, inviting interior featuring a cozy fireplace, full kitchen, and open gathering areas designed for family and friends. Four bedrooms provide plenty of room for guests, while the layout supports easy, relaxed living after a day on the water. Outside, the standout feature is your private sandy beach. Spend afternoons watching boats cruise by, evenings by the fire, and mornings with coffee overlooking the river. The detached garage includes its own bathroom and offers excellent flexibility for storage, a workshop, entertaining, or housing golf carts, bikes, and water toys. Russell Island delivers a unique lifestyle: no cars, just golf carts, bikes, and quiet paths. Access is by ferry or private boat, creating a true escape just a short ride from Algonac. Enjoy sunsets, community events, the island beach and park, and the simple rhythm of island time where summer never feels long enough. With 1,596 sq ft, a full kitchen, fireplace, detached garage with bath, and exceptional sandy beach frontage, this property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Russell Island. Come experience the lifestyle. Schedule SAME DAY SHOWING or boat tour today.
