LAKE HURON ISLAND RETREAT WITH 900 FT OF WATERFRONT, TWO COTTAGES, A SAUNA HOUSE & UNFORGETTABLE SUNSETS! Five minutes by boat from the marina, this Pig Island retreat trades traffic for loons, fences for shoreline, and rushed weekends for days that stretch from sunrise coffee to one-more-jump-off-the-dock evenings. Spread across 2.07 acres with 900 ft of waterfront, deep water at the dock, panoramic views over Lake Huron, unforgettable sunsets, and the La Cloche Mountains in the distance, it gives every generation a reason to show up and stay awhile. Seven decks throughout the property give you multiple vantage points for water views, sunsets, and fresh air. The main cottage has four bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, a living room, and a sunroom that opens to a large glass-railed deck where the view does not need any help selling itself. A separate guest cottage keeps family and friends close without crowding the main cottage, offering three bedrooms, its own eat-in kitchen, a cathedral-ceiling living room, and two patio door walkouts to a massive deck. After a swim, a boat ride, or a day spent fishing, the sauna house with a shower is exactly the cottage-country bonus everyone will fight over. A spacious workshop with a 12 ft workbench gives you room for tools, tackle, water toys, and all the gear that comes with island living. Close to Whitefish Falls Landing and Heaven's Gate Nature Preserve in an area known for excellent fishing, this turn-key retreat is made for cannonball contests, full dinner tables, late-night card games, and summers your family will still be talking about years from now.
