If you feel lost looking for the perfect country home let your compass guide you to this private paradise beautifully set along the Escanaba River. Built by a talented, artistic craftsman you will marvel at the creative touches inside and out. The Timber Frame home was built of trees harvested and milled right from the property. A massive large stone fireplace is the heart of the living room which rises all the way up to the the top of the vaulted ceiling. Upper Peninsula slate is used through the kitchen, entry and bathroom with an eye catching Copper Compass dial set into the floor pointing "True North" as an example of the distinct and handcrafted one of a kind features throughout the property. The kitchen has granite countertops, a Jenn Air range and stainless steel appliances. A warming nook has been built into the fireplace on the kitchen side and is another custom and brilliant idea. The living room impresses with the large timber beams, the fireplace and the spectacular views of the river, a pond and the wildlife passing by. A deck stretches across the entire front of the home where a fishing pole holder keeps a rod handy for kids to cast into the pond right off the deck and catch fish that were once planted there and can be again. There are two bedrooms, a full bath and a well placed office area upstairs. Big glass doors in the master bedroom lead to a raised deck with a great view of the river. There is a big two car garage with tall ceilings if you need to use pulleys or winches. There is a lot to enjoy in this home but with a yard as picturesque and fun as you have here you may never want to go inside. The rushing of the cool waters will help you relax and you can spend the day watching the fish jump and play or you can drop a line in a secret fishing hole and reel in one of the big Brown Trout the Escanaba is famous for. Stroll the span of your very own bridge crossing the Spring Fed Pond leading to an inviting spacious gazebo. You can practice your culinary skills in the outdoor kitchen with running water or catch your dinner and prepare it as fresh as you possibly can. All this is set quietly and privately where you cannot see your neighbors and still be only minutes away from all the stores you need. You will find this an exceptional place to entertain friends and family where there will always be something to do. The Gwinn area is famous for recreation with its many Lakes and Rivers, trails for biking, snowmobiling and riding your side ATV. Vast areas of State Land are in every direction and offer good hunting. Conveniently located about 30 minutes from Marquette and 10 minutes from the International Airport you could find options for a year round home, aprivate getaway, or a desirable vacation rental. With a few finishing touches you may find this is the place you have been dreaming of. Aproperty like this does not come available very often. Call your favorite Realtor & see.
