About This Home

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Michigan history—this one-of-a-kind island cottage has been family-owned for over 65 years! Nestled on an island in the St. Clair Flats (also known as the North Channel Flats), just upstream from the entrance to Anchor Bay of Lake St.Clair. This two-story retreat offers unmatched panoramic views of wildlife, water, sunrise and sunset skies. Accessible only by boat and just a short ride (under 1/4 mile) from the mainland, this property delivers a peaceful, adventure-filled lifestyle that’s perfect for fishing, hunting, boating, or simply unwinding in nature.

Enjoy an open floor plan, enclosed front porch, front and rear decks, and a 300+ ft seawall offering exceptional dockage options. The property includes a 40’x16’ covered boat hoist with a 16,000 lb lift capacity (fits up to a 12’ beam) and a 12’x10’ utility/storage shed — ideal for lake life convenience. Located across from Decker’s Landing and Belfour’s Gas Dock, and downstream from Harsens Island.

A true boater’s and sportsman’s paradise with endless potential, including use as a vacation rental. Owner open to selling fully furnished—move in and enjoy summer from your own island hideaway!
