About This Home
Rare Opportunity Now Available! It is not often that a parcel this large comes available within great year round, paved access, close to the City of Houghton (Michigan Tech), and also near Lake Superior! This property consists of 160 acres, a 1920’s log constructed cottage, pole building with a bunk room, newer dedicated sauna building, old cordwood barn, and a shed! The cottage has a living room, kitchen, bunkroom, bathroom, and a bedroom! There is even a loft that was used for sleeping in the past that potentially could be used again! The main source of heat for the cottage is an effective classic wood stove! There are hardwood floors and tongue and groove ceilings. As an added bonus the furnishings are also included! The 40'x60' outbuilding is an awesome, multi-purpose structure! There is the heated 20’x24’ bunk room, workshop areas, with of course enough space to store equipment, toys, and so much more. Need more than the 2 bedrooms in the cottage? The loft in the cottage could potentially be used as an additional sleeping area but there is the bunk room in the pole barn! There is also the piece of history being the cordwood barn! This building may need a little work but the foundation is there to expand on and could be used for many years to come! The traditional sauna is a necessary component for a property like this with a Nippa Wood Stove, changing room, and a shower inside the building and outside too! Other features of the improvements of the property are a shed, drilled well that was completed in 2019, and wood shed. If the current living arrangements are not enough, there is ample room to construct a new house or potentially even to convert the pole barn into a barndominium! The best part is that the property can be used as it is currently improved while planning for the future!! The property includes fruit trees (12 apple trees produced fruit in 2025 and 1 pear tree), trail system, and a well maintained driveway out to Portage Entry Rd. The property has been used as a hunting camp for many years! This is such a great chance to have a private hunting experience given the amount of land! The property is within a mile of Lake Superior, Portage Canal, and the South Entry Boat Launch! It cannot be overstated how rare to have a recreational opportunity with this amount of land being just south of the town of Chassell and just a short drive from the City of Houghton and Michigan Tech!
