3bed, 3bath, St Marys River Frontage

This single-story St. Marys River home is well located just 3 miles from downtown Sault Ste. Marie, 1/4 mile from the golf course, approximately 600 yards from the municipal boat launch, and 2.5 miles from the casino. It is also less than 5 miles from I-75, allowing you to avoid the busy downtown area. The home features 3 bedrooms, all with water views. The living room and one of the dining areas also overlook the water. The property has been well maintained and includes a large primary suite, two dining areas, a spacious laundry room, and a third bathroom (currently a half bath) with plumbing in place for a future shower stall if desired. The attached garage is both insulated and heated. The property faces the delta created by the St. Marys Rapids, with approximately 8 feet of water depth and a steady current along the frontage. Across the channel lies undeveloped Island #3, with protected and undeveloped Island #4 beyond it. These islands provide a natural, scenic view while also helping to shield the property from weather and the wake of large ships traveling through the St. Marys Falls Channel. This chain of islands creates excellent protected water for paddling, while still offering quick access—less than a mile by water—to some of the best fishing in the region. The St. Marys River is known for walleye, salmon, perch, and muskie, and there are also multiple shallow-water shipwrecks in the immediate area. This property would make an excellent primary residence or seasonal retreat, offering true single-floor living, an easy commute, and convenient access to shopping, dining, recreation, and medical facilities. $375k

Foreclosure on Acreage with a Pond.

This property just crossed my desk. It is listed with a residential agent on the little Petoskey MLS so I would never have seen it if I was actually looking for it! This is a Fannie Mae foreclosure. It is in rough shape but appears that it may have a good solid base. There has been water damage it appears and it looks like that damage came from a bad roof. Frankly the place doesn’t look like it was ever updated from the 70s so the water damage may have been helpful. The house is big. The agent has it at 3300 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 car garage. The agent also says 30 acres but what I’m seeing says 16. And I trust my sources a little better. There is a large pond, acre to 1.5 acre. UP-2 trail is basically right across the road and it is state land between the house and the trail. This is a really easy commute to Bessemer or Wakefield. Gogebic Community College owns 80 acres immediately to the west. I don’t know if that is open to hunting. This is probably a house not a cabin and would take a lot of work but if structurally solid this is a big house that just needs the interior redone based on pictures. Might be worth looking into. I’m constantly asked for foreclosures on acreage. Here you go. $285k

3bed, 2bath, Pole Barn, Big Wolf Lake.

My first showing of the day is this Big Wolf Lake home/cabin listed by Eagle Point. This is a very nice 3bed/2bath chalet on a large lot with 172 ft of frontage. This cabin has been updated over the years. Some of the updates are a little unique but all seem to have been done well. Certain bits of the cabin still show their original construction. The main floor has the primary bedroom and a remodeled full bath. There is also another bedroom added on the main floor which has an outside entrance as well as an inside entrance. This could be an excellent home office. It is used as a utility room of sorts and has the washer/dryer in it. Another bedroom is upstairs. What would originally have been a second upstairs bedroom is now a really big and nicely done full bath. Kitchen has been redone. There is a nice all season porch on the lake side. Newer furnace. There is a traditional 2 car garage that appears to be insulated but not heated. The pole barn is a 30x56 with a concrete slab. Big Wolf Lake is a mostly shallow natural lake. Motors are allowed but it is functionally a no wake lake. Excellent for relaxing pontoons floats or paddling. A lot of nature watching. $390k

I didn’t realize you could hear retreat from this property. That brought back some old memories.

I’ve either never been here for reveille and retreat (which seems unlikely) or they only do it when units are training.

Buddy of mine at AuSable on the Fly just had a few big dates open up.

"Hello All,
I was just notified by a long-time client that their health issues will prevent them from fishing with me this month. This opens up four very good dates in June; 18th, 20th, 22nd, and 25th. These are prime hex mayfly dates and can produce some great fish on dries after dark.
I am sure these dates will fill up fast so I wanted to reach out to you about this opportunity.

Please do not respond directly to this email as it is hard to keep track of the replies. If interested, please email me directly: [email protected]"

Commercial property, 3 buildings, lake frontage.

This unique Muskallonge Lake commercially zoned property features a 3bed, 2bath home, a rental cottage, and a former camp store that could be made into another rental, reopened as a store, or any other commercial endeavor. The property has 282 feet of unimproved south facing frontage on Muskallonge Lake, the North Country Trail passes thru the property. Just 1000 yards from the property on NCT is Lake Superior. The home is a nice 3bed, 2 bath home that could use some updating having been vacant for several years. The store has been closed for several years but still has all the shelving and equipment as well as a full kitchen making it easy to convert to a cottage or bunk house. The 400sq ft cottage could be a great income generator with this properties fantastic location. Muskallonge Lake is about 786 acres and is known to be shallow and weedy. It does not get much more than 20 feet deep though much of the lake is around 10 feet deep. It is not known as a quality fishing lake though many folks find it fun as it is known to be over populated with aggressive pike. The lake also has an abundance of bullhead and perch are commonly caught. The lake is mostly undeveloped and is not popular for motorsports making it a quiet place to enjoy the water. There 1000s of acres of state land in the area including miles and miles of Lake Superior shoreline and several small inland lakes. The possibilities are almost endless for this secluded commercial property on one of the most scenic routes in the country. Co Rd 407 is the route between Tahquamenon Falls area and Grand Marais along the shore. $350k
