Farm Description

PRICE REDUCED! Newer Michigan Cabin/Seasonal Home for Sale! This 3-Bedroom home is on a 10-Acre wooded property located at the western end of The Dead River Storage Basin, a 3,274-Acre lake that sprawls across an area north of the Cities of Ishpeming and Negaunee, and west of Marquette, in north -central Marquette County, the largest county in Michigan. It is an impoundment of the Dead River (French: Rivière des Morts). Its main waters originate high up in the high rugged rocky ridges in the northwest and flows 43+ miles south-eastly to its mouth on Lake Superior. Along the way were once five dams*: Silver Lake Dam, Hoist Dam, McClure Dam, Forestville Dam, and Tourist Park Dam. The Hoist and McClure are hydroelectric dams. There are four impoundments on the river: The Hoist Dam, a 3,674-foot-long, 63-foot-high concrete dam holds back the largest impoundment, and creates the Dead River Storage Basin. This un-crowded Basin is about 11 miles long, and is great for boating, sailing, kayaking, and fishing. It is known as one of the State's best Smallmouth bass fisheries, and it also contains big Northern pike, Perch, Walleyes and some Brook trout. U.P. Fishing Tournaments are often held here. The Seller of the property being offered for sale has a lease for use of the land along the shoreline with the Dead River Campers Association. Immediately to the north is access to thousands of acres of Corporate CFA Lands for walk-in access for hunting, trapping, and river fishing. The Split-Foyer, two-story home has a superb view of the surrounding forest and bay from its Upper Living-Dining Area, which has a sliding glass door leading to two 12x16 decks which wrap around the building. This out-door entertainment area can also be reached from an exterior stairway. The Upper Level also includes a Kitchen, Studio Bedroom, and 1/2 Bath. This level is heated with a free-standing wood fire place. The Lower Level has a super large Bedroom, which could be used as a Recreation Room, another Bedroom (currently used for storage), and a 3/4 Bath. This level is heated with a free-standing Lp-Gas fire place. Just a few steps down a paved walkway from the home is a 12x12 Sauna/Dressing Room Building. There is a garage with attached covered wood and equipment storage areas. There is a children's tree house, and fire ring area for outdoor fun! The 10 acres is wooded and has a trail system for hiking, hunting, and ATV riding.
