Peaceful retreat & wildlife refuge of natural four-season beauty: 54 acres of woodland, partially rolling, rock formation which is part of the Niagara Escarpment with Karst features, such as an impressive sinkhole with a stream trickling from a beaver dam. The wide mix of trees includes maple, beech, hemlock, pine, spruce, cedar, cherry, and birch. There are also 1000 ft. of water frontage, with bogs and iris glades, on lovely little Round Lake in the Eastern U.P. of Michigan. This secluded estate comprises two furnished cabins, and a small guest house, the 120 sq.ft. "Lillstuga"; a bathhouse, outdoor kitchen, woodshed, chicken coop and tool shed make up the rest of the outbuildings which surround the older cabin. This cozy cabin was remodeled in 2006-2009 and is lived in year-round. The second cabin/bunkhouse was built in 2011 and lies appx. 300 ft away from main camp which also sits on the lake. This serene location allows for off-grid living at its finest. Access to the Internet is by smartphone or laptop via hotspot. Solar installation with new lithium-ion battery pack provides power w/generator as back-up. An abundance of hardwood feeds the woodstoves, the primary source of heat, but there are also on-demand propane ventilated wall and water heaters. The large bedroom in the main cabin overlooks the lake and the galley kitchen also has views of the lake as does the open concept dining/living room. There is a small office/library space. Kitchen is fully equipped incl. a new dishwasher. Bathhouse was built in 2014 and houses the washer, shower, flush toilet and sink with an on-demand water heater. The well which is 210 ft provides excellent water and septic & drain field are in. There is also an outdoor shower nestled in the trees. Bunkhouse is appx 800 sq ft. with one bedroom downstairs and a loft w/2 single beds. It is beautifully built with cedar throughout, has a composting toilet inside plus an outhouse nearby. Like in the main cabin, electricity provided by solar panels. A woodstove in the main living area heats the entire cabin. The estate, one of the more fortunate spots in the world with the absence of any traffic noise, is located 25 miles NE of the Mackinac Bridge/St Ignace, one mile back from Simmons Road reached by a gravel road and a good two-track which ends at Round Lake. If you wish to live surrounded by nature then you must come to take a personal tour. You may hear a welcome from the loons who nest every year on the lake or even see a beaver swim by: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for turnkey peaceful off-grid living!
