This single family home is located in the historical small town of Big Bay, about 25 miles North of Marquette, in the Upper Peninsula. The area is a popular tourist destination for camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, kayaking, boating, fall color touring, cross country skiing and snowmobiling. The historical logging town is on the shores of Lake Superior, with a full-service marina and public swimming beach, and Lake Independence with Perkins Park, a small county campground offering public access. Nestled in the foothills of the Huron Mountains, the area provides many acres of forests, rivers, inland lakes, and trails with spectacular scenery. The town is home of the Lumberjack Tavern, where the filming of Anatomy of a Murder, and the actual murder it is based on, took place, and more recently became the home of the Big Bay Shuffle, a song written by Jeff Daniels, after one of his visits. The Big Bay Lighthouse, the Huron Mt. Club, Loma Farms, the old Ford sawmill, all provide unique stories adding to the history of the area as well. This single story, comfortable home, is on a secluded, wooded acre lot on the edge of town. The property borders Powell Township property, where Big Bay Pathway cross county ski trailhead is located. The Lumberjack Tavern, Powell Township School (K-8), Perkins Park, and tennis courts, are all only a block or two away. Lake Superior is less than a mile, and the Yellowdog River and many other streams and inland lakes are within 10 miles. Co Rd 550, the main road to Marquette was recently upgraded to a class A road, a safe half hour commute to Marquette, the largest town in the UP. The house is connected to a recently upgraded municipal water system, and has its own septic system. It's heated with a boiler, with propane fuel.
