Features: |
This
five-cabin resort with owner/proprietor
cabin is a sportsman's paradise with
consistent positive cash flow in the
midst of the Hiawatha National Forest
in the central and eastern portions
of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The resort
consists of a main cabin with office
and attached garage with workroom, four
(4) two- bedroom cabins with screened-in
porches and a 2-½ bedroom large cabin
that sleeps 9 adults with a fireplace,
27-inch TV, and wooden deck. All cabins
are fully equipped with dishes, pots,
pans, utensils, toaster, coffeepot,
etc. plus bed linens. A fourteen-foot
aluminum boat is provided for each cabin
and there are canoes that are available
for delivery to nearby lakes and rivers.
Each cabin has a picnic table, and there
is a pavilion with a fire pit, barbecue
grills, picnic tables and horseshoe
pits. There is a separate shed for cleaning
fish.
Seven (7) aluminum boats, three (3)
fiberglass canoes with trailer, three
(3) docks, one (1) 12 hp Craftsman tractor
lawn mower with snowplow, trailer, and
sweeper, one (1) generator, one (1)
snowblower, one (1) chain saw, two (2)
outboard motors and oars, paddles, life
jackets, and seat cushions in addition
to the above listed inventory convey.
The Hiawatha National Forest consists
of 893,348 acres and is adjacent to
three of the Great Lakes (Superior,
Michigan and Huron). There are more
than 777 miles of rivers and streams,
104 miles of Great Lakes shoreline,
and 418 inland lakes. The low population
of the Upper Peninsula provides opportunities
for solitude that is increasingly sought
after. Campers and sightseers enjoy
moderate summer temperatures, while
hunting and trapping are common autumn
activities. Deer, bear, upland birds,
ducks and geese are plentiful. In addition
to excellent fishing and hunting, the
average annual snowfall varies from
54 inches in the south to 240 inches
in the north. Winter sports include
cross-country skiing, snowmobiling (300
miles of snowmobile trails) and ice
fishing.
The resort is 22 miles from Manistique
on Highway 437. Thunder Lake is on a
chain of three lakes and is the largest
(340 acres). The lake is spring fed
and is also fed by two creeks and empties
into a system of creeks and rivers into
Lake Michigan. The resort is on 1.4
acres with 232 feet of lakefront on
the northeast end of the lake. The western
shore is National Forest and cannot
be developed; thus you are guaranteed
picture perfect sunsets.
Thunder Lake has consistently been listed
as one of the best crappie lakes in
the state and also has perch, bluegill,
large and small mouth bass, pike, and
walleye. Occasionally a lucky fisherman
will snag a brook trout that wanders
in from one of the creeks.
A single proprietor has owned this resort
for the last 15 years. Detailed documentation
of bookings, improvements, expenses,
and income will be provided to qualified
buyers. The resort is currently seasonal
opening in May and closing in December.
There is potential for year-round operation
and expansion which would double income.
There is room to build additional cabins,
or a main house for the owner, allowing
a sixth cabin rental adding to income.
