Upper Michigan Retreat for Sale! The "Big Picture" - Dream It, Live It! Experience the opportunity to own a saddle-notched Full Log Home that is strategically tucked into a 277-Acre parcel that maximizes everything you need to fit a North Country Lifestyle! Located in eastern Menominee County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, it is just a half mile from the Menominee River. This 116 mile long river forms the border between Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and northeastern Wisconsin, before draining into the Green Bay of Lake Michigan. An exquisitely landscaped, manicured yard surrounds the home which overlooks a private pond. An additional pond filled with Walleye and Bluegill, the Sharkey Creek with bridge crossing, and woodlands filled with 12 blinds and feeders, dozens of apple trees, and food plots, for hunting Whitetail deer, Black bear, Grouse and Ducks, and trails for hiking, cross-country skiing and for riding your all terrain vehicles are all part of the surrounding landscape. The distinctive custom-built luxury log home has an interior mix of stone and wood which creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The well planned openness throughout the Great Room, Dining and Kitchen makes it perfect for entertaining large gatherings. The Great Room with its many large windows let in natural lighting, and are overlooking a large pond, stocked with trout. The central stone fireplace can be fueled with wood or gas and features a large wood mantel and copper lined wood bin. Handcrafted log trusses that support the eighteen-foot-tall ceiling, and authentic elk antler chandeliers enhance the Old World Style found here. The large 20x 25 Kitchen balances country charm and functionality - It has abundant food preparation space, counters, bar-style seating, and modern appliances, including a beer-wine cooler.
