Arguably one of the most beautiful homes in the U.P., this executive single-family home was built in 2004 and sits comfortably perched on the banks of the Escanaba River. The home is nestled amongst 60 wooded acres; 25 around the home on the South side of the river, and 35 on the North side of the river with deeded access to Co Rd 565. As one pulls up to the home, they are greeted by the three-car attached garage and workshop, which sport in-floor heat for a cozy workspace. Into the living space of the home, we pass through the spacious foyer with a plethora of storage, and into the main living space of the home. One of the first things we notice is the mirror-like hardwood floors, which reflect the natural light that floods in through the windows and French doors facing the river. When these are open, the tranquil sounds of the river flowing among the rocks fills the home and provides an ambiance that only complements the natural finishings inside the home. The kitchen and pantry of this home are finished with lovely marble and butcher-block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and shipwreck pine cabinets - that means the wood for the cabinets is recovered shipwreck wood. These abound in character, with the original nail-holes retained, and the wood itself finished in a way that compliments both the hardwood floors as well as the awesome log beams that span the kitchen, dining, and living areas on the main floor. The spacious pantry boasts excellent storage space. The living area is open-concept, but keeps a cozy atmosphere due to the warm wood accents and faux-stone walls, an ode to the beauty of nature, yet accompanied by the comfort and protection of a solid home. The master bedroom is at the end of the home and boasts French doors which open to a deck where you can sit and enjoy panoramic views of the rushing river. One can only imagine what it would be like to drift to sleep to the lullaby of the river, or to awaken to that sound each day… Downstairs in the basement we find an excellent entertainment area complete with a bar, two bedrooms, and a sauna, along with more storage space and the utility room. In-floor heat throughout the home, sprinkler system in the yard; there is even plumbing for a wood boiler system should the new buyer prefer that style of heat, they would just need to purchase the boiler - everything is all set up aside for that! Everything is completely and totally finished to the highest quality in this home, it’s truly a must-see!
