READY TO BUILD on the WATER? Want all City utilities available? In 1862, this half-acre lot was owned by the St. Mary's Falls Canal Company, the company that built the Soo locks. Being far enough from town to be safe and close enough to water to move cargo, the site was later owned by Henry Dupont, (1884) Hercules Powder, and in 1903, the Hancock Consolidated Mining Company. This historic lot is the last available wooded lake lot with all city utilities within the Hancock city limits. Like in the early days, it is far enough out of town to be private yet close enough to run into town for coffee. The lot slopes gently away from highway M203 before presenting a high prospect overlooking Portage Lake. Own a piece of Copper Country history-the last one Like it on the lake. Photo of the Ranger and previous photo are taken from the other side of the canal showing the lot from the Houghton side.
