Modern construction with the feel of a cabin in the woods on a small private lake that has year round access just 1/2 hour from Marquette. This unique property has a lot to offer for those looking for something rural but accessible. The home was built with low maintenance and efficiency in mind that can withstand a U. P. winter for decades to come. Metal roofing and insulated vinyl siding along with Andersen windows provide a great shell for this building. The interior is tongue and groove with some nice trim accents. A bedroom, full bath and laundry are all on the main level. The loft is open and could be used as an bedroom as well. There is a rear covered entry and a nice front deck with a 6' roof overhang for protection. The house is heated with a large wood stove in the basement that has a blower and duct system. Electric baseboard heat serves as a backup. The basement has easy walkout access to a nice woodshed with next winter's source dry and stacked for you. This all sets on just under 12 acres of beautiful rolling mature woods on a high ridge line overlooking Bear Lake. Bear Lake is about 30 acres in size and has perch and pike in it. A 30x40 pole barn with a 12' door, poured floor and power service provides ample parking and storage. There is a 30amp hookup for an RV near the pole building as well. The road is private with no association that the Sellers have maintained along with a few neighbors. This is about . 7 miles from County Road 550. Trail riders can connect to the snowmobile trail running along 550 or head past the property on the Bushy Creek Truck Trail which eventually connects to County Road 510. The Yellow Dog River is good trout fishing and Lake Independence as well as Big Bay are within 5 miles to the North for boating and fishing. The acreage has mature hemlock and oak providing good deer habitat. The Seller has a small blind with a trail to it on the back of the acreage. The home was built by the owners and has been well cared for.
