A summer place, set in a rich forest, in the Island's gem, Sailor's Encampment, the name itself says it all. This charming 3-bedroom home/cottage has been an Island icon for decades - instantly recognizable by its white picket fence, big covered porch, and timeless character. Located only 7 minutes from the hospital, full-service grocery market, LCBO, church, restaurant, and shops in quaint Richards Landing. Built in 1938, it offers huge, light-filled rooms and authentic summer-cottage warmth, with period decor and furnishings that evoke the traditional elegance of Mackinac Island and Grand Hotel. The kitchen is anchored by a certified woodstove and hardwood floors run throughout. Step across the quiet and peaceful road to the sandy beach with great boating, canoeing, or swimming for little and old ones too. Watch the ships from all over the world glide westward toward Lake Superior, a view you'll never tire of - day or night - as they gently float by. Cast a line for easy, fun bass just off shore, then settle in under the covered veranda for brilliant sunsets and the occasional thunder-and-lightning show across the wide-open sky. Surrounded by fragrant majestic trees, the cottage stays cool and comfortable - no air conditioner needed. The organic garden is ready to plant, complete with electric fence, set among the fresh water and stunning scenery that make this one of the most desirable areas on the Island. Offered fully furnished and ready to enjoy, the property also includes a garage, drilled well, full septic, and 200-amp service - with strong rental income potential. This is the place unforgettable memories will be made with your friends, kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids - just as they have been for generations. (id:24093)
