Property Description
This high-quality 3–4 bedroom, 2-bath home is in an incredible location, bordered by state land on one side, a 133-acre township park with 9,632 feet of Lake Huron frontage on another, and 150 feet of frontage on a canal leading to Lake Huron. The home was built to an exceptionally high standard and has been well maintained over the years, likely requiring only cosmetic updates to suit the new owner's taste. The spacious kitchen features a commercial-grade stove and ample storage. The main floor includes a master suite with its own sliding door leading to a private deck. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms. There is also a fourth bedroom or office area on the main floor. The main-floor bathroom has been recently updated. A large sunken living room is centered around a fireplace, creating a cozy and inviting space. Outside, the property includes a detached two-car garage equipped with a wood-burning furnace and 220V electric, a smoker for preparing fresh fish, and a garden shed. An adjoining lot, which is included with the property, doubles the land area and features an old cottage in disrepair. While the wood addition will likely need to be torn down and removed, the original cinder block structure appears solid, with no visible cracks or failures in the block and no apparent roof leaks. This space could be converted into a guest house, game room, or storage building, or removed to expand the yard. Kayaking from the property or the nearby township park offers access to incredible sites, including the Lake Huron sinkholes, Thunder Bay Island and lighthouse, parts of the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge, the Monohansett shipwreck in just 18 feet of water, and the much deeper Pewabic shipwreck. During high-water cycles, boat traffic is possible on the canal. During low-water cycles it is great for wildlife. The township park features developed trails for walking or jogging, while the state land remains completely undeveloped, offering opportunities for hunting and outdoor recreation. Despite its secluded feel, the property is less than 10 minutes from downtown Alpena. A natural spring at the end of the canal prevents freezing in the winter, attracting wildlife year-round.
