Beautiful building sites are available, with private access to 400 acre lake, electric, telephone, and county-maintained roads. Most sites suitable for mobile-home and/or camping. <P><b>Rose Lake Forest</b> is located near LeRoy, in Rose Lake township, Osceola county, Michigan. It is about a fifteen minute drive to Reed City to the south, and about twenty minutes from Cadillac, to the north. Directly across from the entrance (<font size=-1>shown at right</font>) is <a href="http://www.golftherose.com" target="_blank">The Rose</a> golf course. Less than two miles east is Rose Lake county park, which has a public boat launch. <P><b>Rose Lake Forest</b> is comprised mostly of land once owned by Edward M. Knabush, chairman and founder of the <em>Lazy Boy Chair Company</em>. Containing over a million board feet of hardrock maple, it was originally planned to be cut for the manufacture of chairs. <P>Mr. Knabush was approached by the <em>Pine River Timber Company</em> which wanted to build a beautiful place for quiet living, and recreation. Knabush, who loved nature, looked at the plans and agreed. No chairs would ever be made from <em>this</em> land! <P>Roads were built which wrapped around the rolling hills, and left the nicest trees standing. Access is maintained by the county year-round. Underground electric is run throughout, eliminating unsightly wires. <P>Parcels are generous in size, and are divided with the lay of the land in mind. Each parcel backs up to private park, or "<b><font color="#009900">Greenbelt</font></b>," rather than other parcels, so neighbors aren't too close. There are few <a href="covenants.htm">restrictions</a> on their use; mostly just common sense. Some are "build-only," but many may be used for camping, or mobile-homes. <P>The many private parks include a private beach on beautiful Rose Lake, with over two hundred feet of frontage. There is plenty of room for swimming, fishing, landing/parking boats, and just plain relaxing. Rose Lake is a natural lake, approximately 400 acres in size, with nearly nine miles of shoreline. All property owners have keys to the locked, private <a href="img/bch-bh01.jpg">bathrooms</a> near the beach, with flush-toilets and fresh, running water. <P>Those property owners who don't want to put in a well and septic, but have a self-contained camper, can use the <a href="img/d&f01.jpg">dumping-flushing station</a>, where they can safely empty their waste tanks, and refresh their water supplies with fresh, cold water from the frost-free spigots. The private trash-collection site, available to all property owners, is conveniently located in the same place. This park also features a large pavilion with a built-in barbeque, for those large family get-togethers. <P>The <em>Property Owner's Association</em> maintains the parks, and pays the property taxes on all the common lands. A yearly fee of $35 per lot is paid to the Association, to cover these expenses. <center> <hr> <b> <a href="http://land.netonecom.net">http://land.netonecom.net</a>   -   Great American Land Exchange   -   <a href="mailto:gale@sojourn.2y.net">gale@sojourn.2y.net</a> </b> </center> <center> <table> <tr> <td> <A HREF="../../../../index.shtml" TARGET="_top" CLASS="menu">Welcome</A> </td> <td> <A HREF="../../../index.shtml" TARGET="_top" CLASS="hlnk">Browse</A> </td> <td> <A HREF="../../../../ad.shtml" TARGET="_top" CLASS="menu">Advertise</A> </td> <td> <A HREF="../../../../contracts/index.shtml" TARGET="_top" CLASS="menu">Contracts</A> </td> <td> <A HREF="../../../../links.shtml" TARGET="_top" CLASS="menu">Useful Links</A> </td> <td> <A HREF="../../../../contact.shtml" TARGET="_top" CLASS="menu">Contact Us</A> </td> <td> <A HREF="../../../../about.shtml" TARGET="_top" CLASS="menu">About GALE</A> </td> </tr> </table> </center> <center> <table> <tr> <td> <a href="../../index.shtml" target="_top" class="menu">Michigan:</a> </td> <td> <a href="../index.shtml" target="_top" class="menu">Osceola:</a> </td> <td> <span class="urhere">RLF</span> </td> <td> <a href="content.shtml" target="viewer" class="hlnk"> Description </a> </td> <td> <a href="maps/index.shtml" target="viewer" class="hlnk"> Maps </a> </td> <td> <a href="maps/imap/ov/index.shtml" target="viewer" class="hlnk"> Overview </a> </td> <td> <a href="pl.shtml" target="viewer" class="hlnk"> Price List </a> </td> <td> <a href="img/index.shtml" target="viewer" class="hlnk"> Gallery </a> </td> </table> </center> </BODY> </HTML>
