Set on 8.9 private acres with an extraordinary 467' of frontage on 105-acre Island Lake, this home offers a rare level of seclusion and natural beauty seldom found in today’s market. Positioned on the desirable east end of the lake, the property captures breathtaking west-facing sunsets across pristine waters that reach depths of approximately 60 feet and connect by channel to Dodge Lake — providing access to two exceptional inland lakes. The 2,492 sq ft residence has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, blending comfort with timeless Northwoods character. The kitchen is fully renovated with rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash, opening into bright living and dining spaces framed by expansive lake-facing windows. An impressive addition includes a generous bedroom suite, custom tile shower bath, laundry area, partial basement, and a large den — creating flexible living space ideal for guests or extended stays. Mature hardwoods provide privacy throughout the property, while evergreen shoreline plantings frame the water’s edge. Two detached garages offer abundant storage for vehicles, watercraft, and recreational equipment. A large, insulated workshop stores your tools and gives you lots of workspace. Propane forced-air heat, electric baseboard backup, and a durable metal roof ensure four-season comfort and peace of mind. Located just 15 minutes from Manistique, and surrounded by thousands of acres of public land, trails, lakes, and streams, this property delivers a true Upper Peninsula lifestyle — private, refined, and connected to nature. A rare opportunity for those seeking space, water, and enduring value in Michigan’s Northwoods.
