About This Home
MICHIGAN ISLAND FOR SALE! Discover the ultimate private paradise retreat on Gitchee Manitou Island. The island, stretching nearly a quarter mile, offers a breathtaking 9.5± acre wooded sanctuary nestled in Lake Michigamme in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Just an hour west of Marquette and a mere 8-minute boat ride from the mainland, this turnkey island oasis offers unparalleled seclusion with your nearest neighbor over a mile away across the water. The island features high rocky cliffs and 3,000 feet of boulder-lined shoreline, beautifully forested with oak, maple, and cedar trees, while the forest floor teems with ferns, blueberries, and raspberries. The property's centerpiece is a main log cabin overlooking the majestic lake, complemented by three additional guest cabins providing sleeping quarters for family and friends.

A fully operational freight elevator effortlessly transports up to 4,000 pounds from the dock to cabin level, making island living convenient and accessible. Outdoor entertainment is elevated with a brick-bordered area featuring a propane-fed fire pit, wooden decks, and seating for al fresco dining.
