Privacy & seclusion best describes this location for the only home allowed on Byers Lake in the Big Island Lake Wilderness located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula! Byers Lake is 172 acres in size, with 2.5 miles of shoreline, filled with bass & pike. It is in a "Designated Wilderness" and is the largest of 23 lakes in the 5,856 acres of Federally protected, pure wilderness. A short walk through the forest or a quick kayak ride will lead you to the 62 Acre Twilight Lake which is filled with brook & brown trout. This home has been completely renovated in the past few years with modern touches featuring an enclosed blue glass steam shower/whirlpool bathtub and heated floors in the bathroom, yet still exuding that northern feel. Other updates include newer Pella Windows, sliding glass doors, new forced air furnace with zones between upper and lower floors, new drilled well, new water conditioner, air conditioning, and on demand propane hot water heater. There is high speed internet, a high tech inside & outside surveillance system that includes a roof-mounted remotely rotatable telescopic camera, a whole house back up propane generator connected to your own 1,000 gallon propane tank, and a 50 year roof on home and garage. The partially finished walk-out basement has plenty of room for storage and entertaining in the family room. There are 2 fireplaces on each level to keep the winter chill down. Enjoy the pure uncultivated scenery from the wrap around deck accessible by the living room or bedroom slider. The 24' x 40' garage has expansive storage for lake toys & for your new 2020 John Deere tractor with bucket & high end snow blower to use for year round living (included in sale and valued at $38,000). The 450,000 Acre Hiawatha National forest is out your back door, and you are centrally located between Manistique & Munising for visits to Grand Island, Pictured Rocks, & Big Springs to name a few local attractions.
