Welcome to 2247 N. Bear Lake Road, an incredible waterfront retreat nestled on approximately 11.1 wooded acres with approximately 2,000 feet of shoreline along beautiful Bear Lake! Built in 1998, this impressive log home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, combining rustic character with comfortable living and breathtaking natural surroundings. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the soaring wood ceilings, exposed beams, beautiful log walls, and warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The spacious kitchen features abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and a center island, opening into the main living areas that are perfect for gathering with family and friends. Multiple fireplaces add warmth and character, while expansive windows bring in natural light and showcase the surrounding woods and lake views. The home offers spacious bedrooms, a primary suite, loft area, finished basement, and plenty of room to spread out and entertain. Step outside and enjoy the expansive decking, peaceful wooded setting, and incredible waterfront views. A standout feature is the large, separate outdoor sauna, offering a wonderful place to relax after a day of enjoying the lake or exploring the surrounding area. Additional features include a detached garage, backup generator, security system, newer boiler system (2022), and three Mitsubishi mini-split units providing supplemental heating and cooling. The exterior pine logs were restained a few years ago, and the access road was resurfaced by Oberstar approximately eight years ago. This property is being sold fully furnished, with everything included in the sale, including the Kubota, canoes, and existing contents, making it a truly unique opportunity to enjoy this waterfront retreat from day one! Enjoy the privacy and tranquility of Bear Lake while still being within convenient driving distance of Marquette and approximately 15 minutes from Big Bay, where you'll find local restaurants, bars, and small-town amenities.
