This property surrounds Eva Lake (except for several hundred feet) and is the only private owner on the whole lake! It consists of 89+/- acres of woods and fields located in a small oasis of private lands surrounding 3 lakes and surrounded by thousands of acres of Hiawatha National Forest. Eva is crystal clear, spring-fed and 40+ acres. It supports a healthy fish population with large perch and bass taken. Ducks, geese and other waterfowl enjoy the lake and provide great hunting opportunities. The acreage is largely high and dry, forested with beech, fir and birch, pine, maples and cherry and provides for rewarding hunting for deer, ruffed grouse and bear. Swans are tame enough to be handfed. Canada geese raise their young. Otters frolic on the winter ice and deer drink and swim. Recreational trails for snowmobiling, four-wheeling, skiing, hiking run through the acres and join others to provide hundreds of miles of trails leading throughout the Upper Peninsula. The Pictured Rocks Nat’l Lakeshore on Lake Superior is about 25 miles to the north. Big Island Lake Wilderness Area is spectacular and close, with trails to explore to all! If this sounds like a recreational dream, it is! But, there is more: underground electricity and telephone are installed to a comfortable cabin on the shoreline with an inviting deck and firepit. Little of the value of this parcel is in this mobile, however it is well heated, comfortable and air conditioned – and being included with most all furnishings. Facing west, the sunsets over Eva Lake are often spectacular, the peace and quiet and beauty overwhelming. One can truly find peace here. The 30 X 40 conventionally-built garage has clean open spaces and a 10’ overhang. If partying with friends is on the calendar, the 10 X 30 recreation room with a hearty FS fireplace is found here. I’m told legendary poker tournaments have been held here and skeet shooting over the lake (with environmentally-friendly targets) has taken place. Snowmobile and four-wheeling parties begin and end here. Hunting parties are formed and celebrated. Roads are plowed to within about ¼ mile of the cabin, so that one could build a year round home or lodge on any of a number of lovely building sites. The acres could become the site for an exclusive resort or hunting club or a large family compound with room for each member to build and stretch out. The possibilities are endless. Properties like this that are not spoiled by over-development, don’t come along regularly. And a beautiful parcel that surrounds your own spring-fed lake, with utilities and year round access, are scarce, indeed! They are scarce, indeed and a true treasure.
