For sale or trade: We are looking for a house or condo in a Southern State where we can escape the winter months of Michigan. It should be near some nice golf courses or could be in a gated community with an integrated golf course. Possible States are Florida, Texas, Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
We have 160 serene acres in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigans Upper Peninsula 600 miles north of Detroit that is high with a 180 degree fantastic sunset view that overlooks Lake Superior in the near distance. Passing oar boats and a light house keep us company. This property is 8 miles from Houghton, MI which is the home of Michigan Tech University. It is 6 miles from the local airport (CMX) serviced by Northwest Airlines. We are 6 miles from Mich Techs ski hill and about 35 miles from Mount Bohemia which has mostly expert black runs. There is an equestrian center about two miles away. There are plenty of deer, coyotes, bear, fox, and partridge in the area too.
This one-of-a-kind 160 acres can be split up with the following options:
1. An 80 acre vacant land section that is high and has a 180 degree view of Lake Superior in the near distance. I have reclaimed the old abandoned fields on this 80 and the view is spectacular. It is easily accessible off of a county dead-end road and you cannot see another house from this land. This parcels value undivided is $320,000. It is free and clear.
2. A 5-year old 2000 sq. ft. ranch house located at the end of the dead-end road which has an additional 1800 sq. ft. fully finished walk-out basement and attached 28 x 24 garage. The house has hot water heat and a separate central air conditioning system. It has a three-season screened-in porch, a four-season coffee room, three bathrooms, tongue and grove pine paneling, hardwood maple floors and an outstanding large wood burning fireplace with cultured stone to the vaulted ceiling, pecan cabinets, and solid surface countertops. The cedar sauna and cedar lined changing room are top drawer. The well water is so fresh and clear, we are always thankful with each sparkling refreshing sip. Included is a 40 x 60 x 14 pole barn with 5” concrete floor, fully electric and includes a bathroom for the summer months. Also included is an 8 x 24 cedar woodshed with concrete floor and an 8 x 16 potting shed. This plot could go with 40 acres. There is a lovely stream (Lily Creek) on the back on this land. This house was appraised a couple of years ago with the 40 acres at $595,000.
3. One 40 acre section that is high and has a 180 degree view of Lake Superior in the near distance. I have reclaimed the old abandoned fields on this 40 too and the view is also spectacular. It is easily accessible off of a county dead-end road. This parcels value undivided is $160,000. It is free and clear.
