Upper Michigan Lake Superior Parcel for Sale! This 4.11+/- Acre parcel is located near the northern tip of the Point Abbaye Peninsula. The Point Abbaye Peninsula is a 12.3-mile-long peninsula that juts out into Lake Superior. This boreal ecosystem is bounded by Keweenaw Bay on the west and Huron Bay on the east. Considered a very special place by the Ojibwa who fished, hunted, and camped here for generations, it remained mostly untouched until the late 1800s. The Hebard and Thurberg Lumber Company leased the peninsula in 1877 and began harvesting its old growth forests, and carrying the logs to the nearby sawmills at Pequaming. Today the thickly wooded second-growth forests are managed for production of pulpwood, and the shoreline is dotted with fine private homes and cottages, and vacant land parcels. The northern end of the Peninsula has Copper Country State Forest lands and the County...
Upper Michigan Lake Superior Parcel for Sale! This 4.11+/- Acre parcel is located near the northern tip of the Point Abbaye Peninsula. The Point Abbaye Peninsula is a 12.3-mile-long peninsula that juts out into Lake Superior. This boreal ecosystem is bounded by Keweenaw Bay on the west and Huron Bay on the east. Considered a very special place by the Ojibwa who fished, hunted, and camped here for generations, it remained mostly untouched until the late 1800s. The Hebard and Thurberg Lumber Company leased the peninsula in 1877 and began harvesting its old growth forests, and carrying the logs to the nearby sawmills at Pequaming. Today the thickly wooded second-growth forests are managed for production of pulpwood, and the shoreline is dotted with fine private homes and cottages, and vacant land parcels. The northern end of the Peninsula has Copper Country State Forest lands and the County of Baraga has a beautiful park located at the rugged, rocky tip. It takes about a half-hour drive over the twisty road to get there, but the view from the rugged sandstone shelf there is worth the drive! There are hiking trails, two outhouses, and a small campground for overnight camping. You might be able to see The Huron Island Light flashing from the rocky freshwater archipelago located about seven miles beyond the end of the peninsula. These islands are named the Huron Islands in honor of the Hurons who once lived in the area - and are called the Huron Island National Wildlife Refuge. Eight islands provide protected habitat for a wide variety of birds. You can take a private boat to Lighthouse Island for day hikes, and view Gull and Eagle nest on the smaller islands granite outcroppings and if you dive, shipwrecks are in this Preserve! The ancient Lake Superior sea beds have created some shear bluffs with high overlooks on both sides of the peninsula... And each side has its own special features. There are stunning sunset views on the west side, clear-day views of the Keweenaw Peninsula to the north, and those views of the Huron Islands and Huron Mountains from the east side. Lake Superior fishing for Salmon, Whitefish and Lake trout abounds on either side! The property offered for sale is on the narrow Huron Bay side of the peninsula. This cool water, deep bay is fed by many streams, creating superb Brook trout fishing. Walleye fishing is good, with some pike, perch, steelhead, smallmouth bass, and seasonal salmon fishing also available here. Another local passtime here is nature photography, and you'll have opportunities for that here year round! Whitetail deer, Black bear, Coyote, and Bald eagle sightings are common. The property is hidden away in a wilderness setting and is adjacent to hundreds of acres of Copper Country State Forest Lands, for walk-in access for hunting and trapping. The woodlands on this property consist primarily of mature Maple, Birch, White spruce, and Pine. The 256+/-foot shoreline of this property is a rock bluff, about 20-feet high. (You can launch a canoe or kayak at The Tip, about three-miles to the north, and paddle this beautiful, picturesque shoreline.) There is a good driveway from Liimatainen Road into a small clearing where you will find a fire ring, a bus converted into a cabin, and a small travel trailer converted into a sauna. If a secluded waterfront over-look parcel is in your dreams, schedule your appointment to view this property soon! MLS# 1095252
