Tank Lake Lake Area

The roughly three-quarter-acre lots here sit on or near Tank Lake—also called Little Idlewild Lake—and draw people looking for a genuine getaway without the long haul; downtown Grand Rapids is about an hour and a half away by car. Most properties front paved roads and come with public sewer and natural gas, which keeps things practical for either year-round living or weekend use. The woods run thick across the area, and a few properties offer lake views from covered porches or sun rooms. Hungerford Lake Recreation Area is a short walk if you need state land access, and the proximity to US 10 makes reaching supplies or heading further north straightforward. A handful of cabins and cottages here have been used as getaways for years; others are being readied for new owners willing to take on some restoration work.
