About This Home
Welcome to Middle Island, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the most unique and breathtaking private islands in the Great Lakes. Located just a few miles offshore from Rockport Harbor and north of the charming town of Alpena, this extraordinary 227-acre island is nestled in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron, offering over 10,000 feet of pristine waterfront and unmatched panoramic views. Steeped in rich maritime history, Middle Island is home to the historic Middle Island Lighthouse, a majestic 76-foot beacon built in 1905 to guide ships safely through Thunder Bay—a region once infamous for its treacherous waters. The lighthouse, decommissioned in the mid-20th century, remains fully intact and now offers incredible observation vistas that span miles in every direction. The island’s accommodations speak to its legacy. The original 12-room lighthouse keeper’s quarters offers and the adjacent Fog Signal Building, once used to emit warning blasts in heavy fog, has been thoughtfully converted into a welcoming lodge that sleeps ten—a perfect retreat for guests or potential eco-tourism ventures. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the 380’ permanent break wall and dock on the west side of the island, providing secure access by boat and protecting the harbor in all conditions. The island also features a hunting blind, an observation tower, and miles of unspoiled natural terrain—ideal for hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring the rare solitude that only a private island can offer. Middle Island offers a rare combination of historic significance, rugged natural beauty, and modern-day development potential—perfect as a private retreat, corporate getaway, or legacy investment. With its sweeping shorelines, maritime heritage, and unmatched exclusivity, this Lake Huron gem is truly a world apart.
