Searching for the Holy Grail—a move-in-ready home with acreage AND beautiful water frontage with incredible trout fishing? You may have just found it! This custom home sits on 4.2 acres with an impressive 660 feet of frontage on the Escanaba River, offering panoramic river views and a setting that is truly hard to find. Designed to take full advantage of the view, the open-concept living room, kitchen and dining area overlook the river, while a four-season hot tub room and covered porch provide even more places to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Custom-built stairs make accessing the river easy. Inside, the main floor features hardwood and tile flooring, in-floor and baseboard hot water heat, a propane fireplace, custom oak cabinetry, kitchen island, pantry, main-floor laundry, full bath and bedroom. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a private bath and sitting area, plus access to unfinished space above the garage that offers the potential for two additional bedrooms. The attached three-car garage is anything but ordinary, featuring in-floor heat, custom drains beneath each stall for washing away winter salt and a convenient dog-washing station. Additional features include central vacuum, a direct propane hookup for the grill, whole house generator switch and 50-amp RV service behind the shed. Recent improvements include a Mitsubishi wall air unit in 2024, crawl space Envirofoam insulation and vapor barrier in 2025, a new boiler in 2025 and a GoNano roof treatment completed in May 2025 with a 10-year transferable warranty. Hot tub and appliances stay. A large shed, additional storage shed and chicken coop round out this one-of-a-kind riverfront property.
