Discover your own private Upper Peninsula paradise at 6803 Willett Lane. Offering an expansive 71.5 acres of wilderness enjoyment and an incredible 1,943 feet of frontage on the majestic Michigamme River, this property is the perfect hybrid: a reliable year-round permanent residence and the ultimate recreational basecamp. The land is a growing homesteader's dream and a fantastic wildlife habitat. All the hard planting work has already been done for you with a developing tree plantation featuring several hundred young fruit trees, berry bushes, maples, and pines. As these plants mature, they will yield a beautiful private orchard and act as an incredible natural food source to draw in local game. With an elevated deer stand already in place and fantastic fishing right off your nearly 2,000 feet of private riverbank, your hunting and fishing camp is ready to go on day one. Built in 2015 and successfully utilized as a year-round residence for the last decade, you can rest assured this 1,324 sq. ft. home is built to handle all four UP seasons with ease. Before you even walk through the front door, you are greeted by a large covered and screened-in front porch—the absolute perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, listen to the river, and take in the evening breezes completely bug-free. Step inside to a warm, welcoming open-concept layout. The spacious kitchen, dining, and living area is perfect for relaxing or swapping stories with your crew. The home boasts two large bedrooms, a large full bathroom, and a laundry/mechanical room. Say goodbye to high maintenance and chilly UP winters! Built for the environment, the home features a highly durable, maintenance-free metal roof and metal siding. For all your storage needs, the property includes a one-car garage and a large lean-to, providing ample covered space for storing outdoor equipment, ATVs, snowmobiles, and recreational vehicles out of the elements. Inside the home, you'll stay incredibly cozy all winter long with in-floor hydronic heat powered by a high-efficiency propane furnace, with the added security and self-reliance of a backup wood burner tied directly into the system. An on-demand water heater ensures you never run out of hot water after a long day outside, and the robust 200-amp electrical service provides plenty of power for all your modern conveniences. Plus, a DirecTV dish is already installed to provide reliable television and internet access. For the ultimate UP experience, end your evenings unwinding and thawing out in the beautiful wood-fired sauna—a true Yooper essential! Wake up to the sounds of the river, watch your future orchard grow, track whitetail in your backyard, and enjoy quiet living in a home that has been trusted, loved, and expertly equipped for the ultimate Upper Peninsula lifestyle.
