Property Description
Open House Monday July 6 4-6pm. You've been dreaming of a log cabin in the north woods, a peaceful place where you can listen to the song of moving water. This is it! And even better, the dock is in and it's move-in ready, waiting for you. This 2-bedroom log chalet on 14 acres with 790 feet of private frontage on the Michigamme River has been meticulously built and maintained. Solar- and propane-powered energy provide everything you need to live off-grid year-round. The open kitchen, living and dining areas under the vaulted ceiling make the ideal gathering space, with views of the river from every window. In most seasons, the wraparound Trex deck invites you to enjoy morning coffee outside as the river and wildlife remain in motion. Keep the binoculars handy; rivers are highways for wildlife and you will be able to capture views of eagles, deer, turkeys, and more. An efficient Encore woodstove helps chase the chill. The main floor also includes a bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, nested in the loft, is the primary bedroom with space for a home office. The south-facing balcony is the perfect perch to catch the sun and listen to the birds. The full basement, 13 courses high, includes laundry, battery storage, on-demand water heater, and a propane furnace, along with extra sleeping space. The 24x28 two-car detached garage has plenty of workshop space, and there's an 8x12 shed for extra toys and tools. Come sit and dream up your own "Paddle to the Sea" story to share after sunset at the fire pit. Waterfront like this is truly a treasure. Lake Michigamme serves as headwaters for the 67-mile-long Michigamme River, which passes through Marquette, Iron, and Dickinson Counties before joining the Brule and becoming the Menominee River into Lake Michigan. The weave and rapids of this river are legendary. Don't wait to take a tour. All offers due July 15 at 3 pm.
