This is where you get away from wherever you are. 100' on navigable Thiem Canal leads to the famous Thunder Bay Shipwreck Preserve where you can spend endless time diving and exploring. Or hike the Nature Preserve across the road that leads to beaches on Lake Huron. This 2 bedroom, full bath cabin has propane space heat and a free standing wood burner for chilly nights. Throw a couple bunks in the loft area. Features include updated electrical, newer roof and vinyl windows, pex plumbing, T-111 siding, french doors, and a shed. Both outbuildings have metal roofs. You're only a few miles from downtown Alpena's best restaurants!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
