Beautifully restored vintage Log Cabin on delightful Silver Bay/Michigamme River is now available. We just do not see many of these old cabins in prime condition. Updated and restored to magazine or HDTV quality. Impressive Stone Fireplace, inviting deck overlooking the water, patio, stone walkways, landscaped yard right down to the waters edge; everything is meticulous and incredible. The cabin has a glassed in front porch with waterfront views. The living area boasts vaulted ceilings. There are 3 bedrooms, one full bath, laundry hookups in the utility room and a long, front hallway reminiscent of the old cabin days. Plenty of privacy here but enough good neighbors too. Silver Bay is a widening of the Michigamme River providing great fishing, boating, canoeing and Kayaking. The frontage is not a swimming beach but you could put a raft out for better swimming. This property is close to Republic but off the beaten path so you will know you are in the north woods on your own waterfront retreat. A survey is in process for the new owner. Some of the wonderful decorative items and furnishings may be available along with a lawn mower, boat, canoe and kayak. Grab the family, fishing poles, table games, books and head for the cabin on the water. This is just what you are looking for at a great price.
