A rare find in this market! This newer construction home is set on 15 acres with views of Lake Independence, and sits just over 20 minutes from Marquette. This setting is outstanding, perched on a ridgeline overlooking the lake to the north at the end of your own private driveway directly off County Road 550. The surrounding acreage is a large block of State Forest, which has very limited access to others, providing a truly private and remote feel. Big Bay is just a few miles up the highway, where there is access to both Lake Independence and Lake Superior. The rustic style home was built in 2018 and features a large open living, kitchen, and dining area with cathedral ceilings and plenty of windows to take advantage of the views and setting. There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the main floor. The main bedroom has direct access to the wrap around covered patio. The loft has been used as a bedroom and could suit several needs, and has plumbing for adding a bath if one wishes. The basement has 9' ceilings with insulated poured walls that are ready to be finished, plumbing for an additional bath and sauna, as well as an egress window in a space perfect for another bedroom. The house is set in a large clearing with ample area for gardening. The land is mostly rolling high terrain with aspen and oak. It's also worth noting that there are trails within the acreage that lead into the adjacent state lands. Additionally, Trail 14 runs along 550 in this location for direct access to snowmobiling and endless ATV exploration. The home is move-in ready, but also has potential for easy upgrades if desired!
