Description
Yoopers and wannabe Yoopers, you're looking at the perfect opportunity to feel like you're living in the backwoods of the UP without a long commute, a private road that takes a ton of your time to maintain, or accommodations that are a little too rustic for your taste. 496 County Road 550 is a beautiful home, but the property is the real star of the show. The 2.81 acres have a DNR-designated trout stream, Campeau Creek, running right through them. Imagine relaxing on your back deck overlooking the creek, watching the wildlife and fall colors, and enjoying the peace and quiet year-round. In the winter, move inside and take in the same view through the large living room windows while the fire crackles in the wood stove. With over 2.5 acres in Marquette Township, there's room for gardening, fishing, bow hunting, and whatever else you might like to do with your little piece of the UP. The two-car garage gives you plenty of space for vehicles, gear, and projects. The home itself fits the setting, with cedar siding, cathedral ceilings, warm wood tones, and hardwood floors. The main floor has a spacious bedroom and full bath, a great kitchen, mudroom, and the gorgeous living room overlooking the creek. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a second full bath, with an open loft-style hallway overlooking the living area and kitchen below. The basement adds a finished family room along with laundry and plenty of storage. Sugarloaf Mountain, Lake Superior, Hogback Mountain, and Wetmore Pond are all just minutes away, putting some of Marquette's best hiking and outdoor recreation practically in your backyard. Private, wooded, close to trails, and tucked just off County Road 550, this is the kind of setting that feels farther from town than it actually is.
