    MICHIGAN ISLAND FOR SALE! Discover the ultimate private paradise retreat on Gitchee Manitou Island. The island, stretching nearly a quarter mile, offers a breathtaking 9.5± acre wooded sanctuary nestled in Lake Michigamme in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Just an hour west of Marquette and a mere 8-minute boat ride from the mainland, this turnkey island oasis offers unparalleled seclusion with your nearest neighbor over a mile away across the water. The island features high rocky cliffs and 3,000 feet of boulder-lined shoreline, beautifully forested with oak, maple, and cedar trees, while the forest floor teems with ferns, blueberries, and raspberries. The property's centerpiece is a main log cabin overlooking the majestic lake, complemented by three additional guest cabins providing sleeping quarters for family and friends. Modern conveniences with appliances that have all been replaced within the past 12 months include a utility room with washer/dryer and full bath facilities, a pump house with redundant water systems, a Bullfrog 6 person hot tub, and a well-stocked maintenance/tool shed. Starlink Internet ensures high-speed connectivity even in this remote location. A fantastic dock system on the southwestern side welcomes you to the island, where an impressive 30-foot man-made waterfall pumps 10,000-12,000 gallons per hour over a natural cliff into Glacier Bay. A fully operational freight elevator effortlessly transports up to 4,000 pounds from the dock to cabin level, making island living convenient and accessible. Outdoor entertainment is elevated with a brick-bordered area featuring a propane-fed fire pit, wooden decks, and seating for al fresco dining. Modern amenities include full island power via a professional one-mile submarine electrical cable and 5-bar cellular service providing internet connectivity. The purchase includes an impressive fleet of watercraft: a 30-foot customized three-log Lowe Pontoon boat, a Sunfish Sailboat,18-foot Wellcraft Excel I/O Ski Boat, 18-foot Hobie Cat, aluminum Grumman canoe, two Yamaha Wave Runners, and various water toys. The facility also includes a dedicated seaplane dock and lift. - Lake Michigamme itself offers 4,360 acres of recreation with depths over 70 feet and 95 miles of shoreline dotted with 27 picturesque islands. Renowned as a UP "Fishing Destination," the lake teems with diverse fish species while massive mineral outcroppings attract hikers and rock hounds. This truly turnkey opportunity includes all furniture and household items—simply bring your food and personal belongings to immediately begin enjoying your private island paradise in Michigan's breathtaking Upper Peninsula!
