About This Home

2017 S Whitehead Rd

Hidden deep within the natural beauty of Michigan's breathtaking Upper Peninsula on historic Sugar Island, this rare waterfront retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic sophistication, privacy, and adventure. Surrounded by 20 secluded acres and boasting over 2,000 feet of private St. Mary's River frontage, this custom-built, handcrafted log home delivers an unmatched four-season lifestyle along one of the world's most iconic shipping channels. Built with intention and timeless craftsmanship, the 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features a warm and inviting layout designed for comfort and entertaining. At the heart of the home, a magnificent 2-story hand-laid stone fireplace anchors the great room, while expansive windows frame uninterrupted views of the river and surrounding wilderness. The open-concept kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly into the living space, creating the perfect gathering place for quiet evenings or hosting guests. A spacious loft provides additional sleeping space or the ideal home office, while ample storage and a main-level laundry area add everyday convenience. Outside, enjoy a front-row seat to the endless parade of legendary Great Lakes Freighters as they silently glide past, from the comfort of the expansive wraparound deck or the incredible 40-foot screened-in porch. Day or night, every passing vessel creates a breathtaking experience unlike anything else in waterfront living. The riverfront offers direct access to boating, while the calm waters are ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and countless other water sports. A spacious 3-stall garage provides plenty of room for all your adventure gear. Soon, the home's exterior will undergo professional staining and preservation treatments, further protecting its beauty and enhancing its appearance for years to come. This is a property where privacy is truly unmatched- no crowds, no noise, no neighboring rooftops- just endless waterfront, untouched forest, abundant wildlife, and ever-changing beauty of the St. Mary's River.
