A modern and efficient home set on 40 acres of nicely wooded high lands with a private pond and spectacular views. Located on the Southern side of the Baraga Plains, this setting is a unique find in the Upper Peninsula with Northerly views as far as you can see. The acreage is private, yet very accessible with year round County Road frontage just one mile from the highway. You'll feel totally disconnected standing on the wrap around deck overlooking the pond, forest, and distant views without a neighbor in sight. The home is turn key, bright, clean, and very well maintained. It features main floor laundry, a master bed and bath, central air, and a nice layout that is functional and comfortable. This was built for the U. P. winters with snow load trusses and new wood stove insert in the living room. Fiber cement siding and trex decking making the exterior very low maintenance. The foundation is poured with a high ceiling full basement that is insulated and could easily be finished. The house has a westerly orientation looking over the 2 acre pond which has been stocked in the past with trout, perch, and walleye. The pond is engineered with an inlet and outlet that is a feeder to the Rock River. The acreage is enrolled in a private forestry program with a thorough management plan. An over-sized two car pole building with cement floor and power overhead door serves as the garage with extra room for tools and toys. There is a greenhouse for the gardener and plenty of split and dry firewood to get you through the winter. This location is rural, but an easy drive to L'Anse and a nice central location in the Western U. P. If you are looking for a rural and beautiful property but don't want a home with a maintenance problem, this is the answer.
