About This Home
Chief Lake is one of the most sought after lakes in Marquette County and perhaps in all of the U.P. It is semi-private with no public access, clear water, excellent fishing and boating. This rustic cottage has year round access on a paved county road with 9.25 acres and 407 feet of frontage on the lake providing for privacy and waterfront value. There is electric to the cottage. The well is not functional but easy access to drill a new one. There is indoor plumbing to use once the well and septic are upgraded. The cottage has plenty of storage and living space so with upgrades it can be very functional. Or you can just start over and have a remarkable parcel of inland lake frontage to build on. The value of this property is in the waterfront land but the cottage adds to the convenience of using the property now and not to be dismissed as a "tear down". While the beautiful property needs TLC it has excellent potential. If you are looking for a estate size parcel of waterfront land on a prime inland lake, this may be for you.
