Property Description
Looking for the ideal location for your Boutique Hotel? Studio? Corporate Retreat? Wellness Center? Dream what this 10,000 square feet spread over 3 dwellings could become! Soak up the awe-inspiring panoramas of Au Train & Grand Islands from protected Shelter Bay on Lake Superior's south shore in Alger County. The North Wing, 3 floors of gallery/office space built with meticulous attention to detail from the floating stairs to the vintage Hope's Windows and loft office is currently home to Sisu Cycles--custom bicycle frame builder. It connects to the South Wing with a Sky Walk towering 50 feet above the planet's largest body of fresh water. Imagine your walk to work with sunrise painting your path over the 52' Sky Walk. Architectural drawings to finish the South Wing's 4-stories (or make it 5-stories with a 16x16 cupola) included in Associated Documents. Let possibilities flow. Wide-angle windows and balconies on every level capture Superior's moods by day, and Northern Lights by night. Until the project is finished, live on site in the guest house. Originally built in 1945 but totally remodeled, the 2 bedroom/2 bath cottage has a host of custom touches from Sandstone fireplace and updated open kitchen to double shower and jet tub. Plenty of space for toys & tools with 32x40 3-car garage as well as 8x10 & 12x26 sheds. Your own private 20x70 boat launch installed in 2021 adjoins 31x26 cement patio beneath the Sky Walk. Outdoor space (decks & balconies) in the South Wing adds up to over 1300 square feet. Zoned Town Development offering a host of possibilities. The year round recreation from this Base Camp includes Lake Superior, inland lakes and streams, nearby Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore as well as the Hiawatha National Forest and Grand Island National Recreation Area. World renowned trails for hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling and ice climbing all in just minutes. Located between Munising & Marquette on State Highway 28. 35 minutes from the Upper Peninsula's largest airport, K.I. Sawyer. Yes, there are 5 Great Lakes, but only one named "Superior."
