Set on 20+ private acres with 524 feet of pristine shoreline, the property provides exceptional privacy, natural beauty and year-round recreational opportunities. Crafted with quality and attention to detail throughout, the home features over 3,000 sq ft of finished living space including 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a floor plan thoughtfully designed to maximize lakeside living.

The well-appointed kitchen adjoins the living and dining areas to create an inviting space for gathering and entertaining. Cathedral ceilings enhance the open feel, and a gas fireplace provides warmth and comfort throughout the seasons. Beautiful cherry hardwood floors are complemented by maple trim, solid doors and cabinetry reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship found throughout the home. The spacious deck has ample room for furniture and grill. A stunning maple/cherry staircase leads to the second level where you'll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath and a loft home office/library. These rooms offer even more spectacular views of the surrounding landscape and lake. The pine paneled walkout lower level is equally impressive featuring a large rec room, sauna, a full bath, workshop, and abundant storage space. Newer 2 car garage with electric, well and septic. Fence Lake is a private, pristine 310-acre spring-fed lake known for its crystal-clear waters, 70' depths, secluded coves, bays and 4 islands; it is accessible only to the property owners. The lake offers outstanding recreational opportunities in a peaceful setting. Enjoy renowned smallmouth bass, rainbow and brown trout, and yellow perch fishing. Put your motorboat or pontoon in at the HOA boat launch and keep it at the private shoreline dock. Kayak, canoe and swim from the parcel's private beach. To preserve the lake's natural character and tranquility and protect the integrity of this remarkable setting protective covenants and rules are in place. This property has the best of both worlds; private and secluded yet only an hour drive to the city of Marquette. There you'll find shopping, dining, healthcare and other professional services. Sawyer Airport (MQT) provides convenient commercial air service to major hubs including Chicago, Minneapolis and Detroit. This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind waterfront retreat with craftsmanship and privacy where the natural beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Fence Lake come together in perfect harmony.
