Have you been fantasizing about the sweet lake life? Or just looking for seclusion? This 3 Bed, 1.5 bath home has been featured on the television show, "Log Cabin Living. " You can watch it on season 3, episode 3. This home is over 2000 sq ft and located on the pristine Horseshoe Lake in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, just outside of Republic Michigan. The original owner shared that he used timber pulled from the lake and other surrounding areas for the construction of the home. The metal work on the doors is hand-made from the original owner too. Some of the most recent and more costly updates include an above ground, mound septic system valued at over $16K. The roof is about to be replaced with a new metal and some additional insulation. The cost of the new roof and insulation is just under 40k. And worry no more about high-speed internet or losing power! The sellers are going to leave the new whole home generator and the Starlink internet hardware. You'll just need to pay for the internet service. The generator was purchased new in 2019 and is valued over $10k installed. The lake itself is a 123-acre lake and has bass, pike and perch and other lakes in the area are known to be some of the best fisheries around.
