MICHIGAN 2+ ACRE HOMESTEAD FOR SALE! This property is located in northern Baraga County near the community of Keweenaw Bay. It is about seven miles north of the Village of Baraga, and seventeen miles south of the City of Houghton. Because of its convenient location between Baraga and Houghton Counties, this property can be a starting point for those seeking outdoor activities, as well as those who want to attend diverse cultural events offered by the Universities, Theatre, and Galleries a short drive away. The property is located on a quiet, private "side road" near the western side of Lake Superior's Keweenaw Bay. An area that was a campground for native Americans, explorers, trappers, prospectors, and missionaries on their journeys along the southern shore of Lake Superior, this area is full of history. Not far to the south of this property is The Sand Point Archeology Site. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and contains 19.5 acres of land containing the remains of a village and 12 burial mounds. Ancient artifacts over 1000 years old have been discovered there, including relics of the Mississippi Basin, which suggests a wide trading network. The Old Sand Point Lighthouse was constructed in 1878 and has been inactive since 1922. The New Sand Point Light is located in the Ojibwa Recreation Area in the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community. The Father Frederic Baraga Shrine, Restaurants, Motels, Grocery Stores, and a Casino are just a few miles away. A walking/snowmobile trail (where a railway once ran) runs along the eastern border of the property. The Kelsey Creek, a Designated Blue Ribbon Trout Stream that flows into Lake Superior is only five minutes away. Just a mile to the west is "walk in" access to thousands of acres of Copper Country State Forest Lands for hunting, trapping, and fishing. Some open areas and some wooded areas create a great habitat for the woodland animals that visit this property regularly, and there are nice garden areas for vegetables and flowers. The "Vintage Home" was built in the late 1800's and has been lovingly updated over the years. The home has a newer metal roof, wood burning stove, gas range, and refrigerator. Outside there is a newer poured Concrete Patio, Green House, Sauna, Tool Shed, and Well Pump House. If you are looking for a great U.P. Homestead with privacy and seclusion, yet about a half hour+ away from cities to the north and south, make your appointment today!
