528 Cardinal Red Rd , Michigamme, MI 49861(Marquette County)

Upper Michigan Cardinal Point Waterfront Home/Cabin! This beautiful home is located on a 2.38-Acre parcel located in west-central Marquette County, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The wooded parcel has approx. 365 feet of south-facing frontage on a large peninsula called Cardinal Point that juts out into the western end of Lake Michigamme. Cardinal Point was once a very privately operated commercial resort on the lake. This All Sports Lake is one of Michigan's largest lakes. The lake reaches a depth of over 70 feet, and covers 4,292 acres in Marquette and Baraga Counties. The vast majority of the lake lies in Marquette County, with only its westernmost part extending into Baraga County. The lake is about 6 miles east to west, with an arm extending about 4 miles south. A dam separates the Michigamme river from the lake at the end of the southern arm. The Spurr river flows into the lake's west end and the Peshekee river flows into the lake in the north east. Van Riper State Park and Van Riper beach are located at the eastern shoreline of the main arm. The lake is speckled with 27 picturesque islands, lots of wind-swept bays, points, narrows, and rock beds to boat around. Boating, sailing, swimming, and water skiing are popular on Lake Michigamme, and it is a U.P. Fishing Destination. Common fish include Brook and Lake trout, Smallmouth Bass, Muskies, Northern Pike, Walleye, Perch, Rock and Smallmouth Bass, and even Whitefish in the deeper parts. There are nice swimming beaches at the Van Riper State Park on the eastern end of the lake, and at the Township-owned park on the west shore. Hikers and Rock Hounds also explore the massive mineral outcroppings found about the lake. This area is also known for western Marquette County Snowmobiling and Cross-County Skiing opportunities - Snowmobile Trail 8 is minutes away. The Village of Michigamme borders on the west end of the lake, where you can find shopping for clothing, fine art, and local crafts - and there is dining, fuel and groceries available nearby. This area is a very popular destination for many generations of families and sports persons, and is rich in pioneering, logging, and mining history! Craig Lake State Park, Van Riper State Park and the McCormick Wilderness are minutes away for hiking, fishing, and views of moose. The Ranch Style home was built in 1977 and has an open-concept Living-Kitchen-Dining area. The Living Room sitting area is complete with a vaulted ceiling, and wood burning fireplace with a brick surround and mantle. The Kitchen is updated with a very convenient Island-Counter for extra prep space, and casual dining. The Dining Area windows provide a beautiful lake view through huge pine trees on the wooded slopes leading down to the lake. Sliding glass doors from the Dining Area lead to an 8x23 Screened Porch for alfresco dining and relaxing. An open 12x16 Deck which cantilevers over the waterside slope can be reached from the Screen Porch or Kitchen. At one end of the home are 2 Bedrooms, a Full Bath, and a large Off-Hallway Pantry. At the opposite end of the home is a more recent addition that contains an Entryway Mud Room/Laundry Center, and a private Main Bedroom Suite with waterfront views, a Private Full Bath, and Walk-In Closet. The grounds include a gently sloping curved driveway to the home, and a 24x28 Detached Garage. The Front water-side of the property offers spectacular views of the lake and Presque Isle and Island No. 14. In addition to property offered for sale, is access to 35-Acres of Cardinal Point Association designated lands called "The Woodland Park", available for exploring. There are Cardinal Point Subdivision Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, and Bylaws in place to protect property values, and there is a Property Owners Association that meets annually to promote the interests of property owners.
