Property Description
Experience an incredible opportunity to own a fully furnished Lake Superior beach house offering exceptional space, breathtaking waterfront views, and outstanding investment potential. Situated on a double lot with just under 2 acres of land and more than 200 feet of Lake Superior frontage, this one-of-a-kind property is designed for gathering, entertaining, and enjoying everything the Upper Peninsula has to offer. With an impressive 9 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, the home comfortably sleeps up to 26 guests. Whether you are looking for a spacious year-round residence, family retreat, vacation home, or income-producing investment property, the possibilities here are nearly endless. The property also features two separate in-law suites, providing additional flexibility for extended family, guests, or rental accommodations. The lower level is made for entertaining, highlighted by a beautiful wet bar, while throughout the property you'll find four fireplaces creating warmth and character during the colder months. Nearly every area of the home takes advantage of the spectacular Lake Superior setting, with gorgeous views and direct access to a dreamy sandy beach perfect for long walks along the shoreline. The original cabin dates back to 1946, with a substantial addition completed in 2006. The addition was constructed on pilings and built with comfort and durability in mind, featuring 5/8-inch drywall, sound-deadening construction, and substantial insulation, including R-50 and R-70 insulation in the ceiling areas. A 1,000-gallon propane tank is owned by the seller and included with the property, offering valuable fuel capacity during the Upper Peninsula winter months. The property provides an extraordinary amount of space for guests and vehicles, with parking for approximately 30 cars. Adding even more value is a buildable lot located across from the beach house, complete with a camper that is included with the purchase. From the expansive Lake Superior frontage and sandy beach to the impressive guest capacity, additional buildable lot, multiple living areas, and fully furnished interior, this property offers a rare combination of lifestyle, flexibility, and investment opportunity. Whether you envision it as your private Lake Superior residence, a multi-generational family retreat, or a destination vacation rental, this remarkable waterfront property is ready for its next chapter.
