This
unique property is only 8 miles from
Houghton, located off Houghton Canal
Road. It features a panoramic view
of Portage Lake and the surrounding
area (line of sight is approximately
10 miles ranging from the Quincy Mine
to South Range). It is located on
8 acres which includes a field portion
and a densely wooded portion. The
property lends itself to privacy due
to 900 feet of road frontage.
The house was custom built (1999)
with attention to quality and detail.
The house is situated in a sheltered,
very private, wooded portion of the
property and overlooks rolling fields
and ultimately Portage Lake and the
scenic woodlands beyond. The floor
plan is an open design with respect
to the living/great room, dining,
and kitchen area. The living room/great
room features a soaring 17 foot cathedral
ceiling with a field stone fireplace.
The floors on the first level are
ceramic tile and maple hardwood from
Horner Flooring (with a significant
amount of Birdseye maple). The house
features Anderson windows, 2x6 construction,
and cedar siding.
The yard is completely landscaped
featuring perennial planting beds,
deck, patio, pathways, and decorative
fencing. There are three stained wood
out-buildings; a 14x16 heated workshop,
a 16x24 storage barn and 8x16 wood
shed.
