This meticulously maintained cottage, custom-built in 1997, offers a cozy cabin feel with a lofted bedroom, circular staircase, and a free-standing cast iron propane stove. The interior features charming wood details, including locally sourced white pine paneling and southern yellow pine flooring and countertops. (The flooring and custom kitchen countertops are southern yellow pine sourced from the southeastern states and milled at the Connor Flooring Mill in Amasa, MI. The pine bathroom flooring is local and was milled north of Crystal Falls, MI. The interior paneling was milled in Mohawk from locally sawn white pine lumber.) The property sits on an expansive 100-foot stretch of unique black stamp sand beach, offering spectacular views of Lake Superior, the Huron Mountains, and the Huron Islands. Located within the Big Traverse Bay Historic District- a quaint Finnish fishing village listed on the National Register of Historic Places—the cabin is within walking distance of the Traverse River and a Michigan Safe Harbor. This location provides year-round access to world-class recreation in the Keweenaw Peninsula, including mountain biking in Copper Harbor, skiing at Mount Bohemia, hiking, and snowmobiling. Residents can enjoy the crystal clear water, stunning sunrises, and the Northern Lights from the comfort of covered front and back porches.
