Welcome to a true Upper Peninsula treasure at 38 Blue Road in Champion, Michigan! Offered for the first time in nearly four decades, this 1.5-acre lakeside retreat features three large bedrooms and two full baths. Lovingly constructed and enjoyed by the same family for 38 years, this cherished property offers a peaceful environment to create your own family memories on the highly sought-after shores of Lake Michigamme. Boasting over 200 feet of water frontage and its own sand-bottomed, sheltered cove, this property provides a calm, safe oasis that is perfect for swimmers of all ages and for launching watercraft right from your own backyard. An elevated, lake-facing outdoor deck offers the ideal setup for summer barbecues, entertaining guests, watching the sunset, and soaking in the tranquil lake breeze. Additionally, the three-car garage is complemented by a lake-facing garage (under the home), as well as a large outdoor storage shed. This setup provides ample room for vehicles, boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, additional toys, and all your "up north" outdoor equipment. Inside, the home offers plenty of room for family and guests with its large, welcoming dining and living areas that are perfect for gathering over shared meals and simply relaxing at the end of the day. A 3-season sun porch allows you to sip your morning coffee or read a book while taking in panoramic, unobstructed views of the cove, no matter the weather. The cozy living spaces feature an inviting interior bathed in natural light, creating the perfect environment for gathering together or warming up after a day of ice fishing or snowmobiling. For added peace of mind, the entire roof was replaced in 2012. Located in the heart of the Upper Peninsula, this home provides immediate access to endless recreation right out your back door. Spanning nearly 4,300 acres and reaching depths of over 70 feet, Lake Michigamme is one of Michigan's largest interior lakes. As a highly desirable all-sports lake, it offers incredible opportunities for water skiing, jet skiing, kayaking, and canoeing. It is also a premier destination for world-class fishing, offering anglers the chance to reel in a wide variety of species including walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, muskie, and yellow perch. Beyond the spectacular days on the water, this location is a dream for motorized recreation and trail enthusiasts. You are in close proximity to the renowned Trail 8, providing endless miles of ATV and snowmobile adventures across the Upper Peninsula. Additionally, the historic 47-mile Iron Ore Heritage Trail is nearby, offering a spectacular route for biking, hiking, and exploring the region's rich mining history. Whether you are seeking a year-round residence or a seasonal getaway, 38 Blue Road is ready for its next chapter. Schedule your private showing today and start building your own family legacy on Lake Michigamme! All offers due by July 10th at 3:00 PM.
