About this property

Step into a world where craftsmanship and nature exist in perfect harmony. Nestled on 50 serene acres in the heart of the central Upper Peninsula, this custom-built, handcrafted log home is a testament to timeless artistry. Built in 1994 by its current owner from locally sourced pine logs, this estate is more than just a home—it's a masterpiece meticulously maintained and ready for its new caretakers. Located just minutes from Manistique, a vibrant waterfront community, the property offers the best of both worlds: tranquil seclusion and easy access to local amenities. Cross the road and you're at the shores of Lake Michigan, where public access provides endless opportunities for long walks on the famous sugar sand beaches. The property is also bordered by state forest land, ensuring ultimate privacy and a constant connection to the outdoors. Spanning over 2,000 square feet, the home itself is a work of art. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a grand cathedral ceiling with a stunning burled beam and an abundance of natural light that floods the open living space. A field stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen features granite counters designed to mimic natural stone, a reflection of the owner's deep appreciation for the natural world. The main floor offers a spacious suite with a full bathroom and a walk-in closet. Ascend the graceful half-log curved staircase to the upper level, where you'll find panoramic views of Lake Michigan peeking through the trees. This level provides ample space for flexible living, including two additional bedrooms, a second spacious living room, and a full bath. Designed with an open balcony to the main level, the other upper rooms are ideal for a reading nook, a game table, or a home office.The estate extends far beyond the main residence, offering incredible amenities and opportunities. Mowed trails wind through the property, leading you past tranquil gardens, a charming gazebo, a serene pond, and a handcrafted arbor with stone seating—all designed for quiet, contemplative moments. The ancillary buildings are just as impressive. You’ll find a massive two-story log workshop, perfect for projects and hobbies. A separate bunkhouse/cottage offers an ideal space for a work-from-home entrepreneur or a private guest retreat. Two additional cedar log storage buildings provide plenty of room for all your equipment. All ancillary buildings feature durable metal roofs, and the main home's shingled roof was updated approximately seven years ago. A Kohler whole-house generator, ready to go with the flip of a switch, provides peace of mind. This single owner estate is more than just a place to live—it’s an opportunity to carry on a legacy of exceptional craftsmanship and deep respect for the land. Come envision your own story in this one-of-a-kind sanctuary.
