This beautiful building lot is 100’ of Lake Superior frontage with a lot depth of about 270 feet m/l from Des Rochers Road (0.61 acres according to tax records). There is an 8–10 foot bluff, but it does have a path to the water. The old travel trailer and summer cottage on the property is not deemed habitable as it has only been used for storage for years. There is no septic or well--only an old outhouse. There is an electric hookup available and a small building (approximately 200 SF) that was originally a sauna but had last been used as a sleeping quarters. This parcel is south of Chassell off US-41 on South DesRochers Rd. The buildings are deemed of little value so the lot is being marketed and sold as vacant land. Use this lot as a great spot to build a get away cabin or a dream home.
