Best-selling author selling spectacular Gitchie Manitou Island on Lake Michigamme in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Check out the video in the listing gallery below and plan your visit! This private island retreat includes around 10 beautifully wooded acres of oak, maple and cedar surrounded by a boulder and cliff-lined shoreline that is nearly a mile long. Beautiful master log cabin overlooks the majestic and seaplane-accessible lake, with three additional guest cabins, pump house with redundant water and filtration systems, well stocked tool shed and utility room with washer-dryer and bath tub shower, with indoor and modern toilet facilities. A magnificent 30-foot waterfall flows over a natural cliff in the island’s scenic Glacier Bay. Great fishing, nearby golf and attractions. 

Full island power is provided via a professionally-installed nearly one-mile submarine electrical cable from shore, making a generous hot tub a great evening destination. A large, propane-fed outdoor fire pit with a substantial brick and bordered entertainment area, wooden decks and picnic tables provide elegant hosting for cocktails and meals al fresco. To make greeting guests and shopping a breeze is a fully operational freight elevator that can move up to 3,000-lbs from the docks to the cabins-level with the touch of a button. The island enjoys 5-bar cellular telephone service from a line-of-sight tower which easily provides full-internet service with a hot spot from an iPad. A new owner will appreciate a complete illustrated set-up, maintenance and seasonal close-down manual, with a business card file of local resources. In short – everything a buyer could want.

This turnkey paradise includes a 30-foot customized three-log Lowe Pontoon Boat with custom trailer, 18-foot Chris-Craft Runabout with trailer, 18-foot Hobie Cat with trailer, Aluminum Grumman Canoe with sailing rig, two Yamaha Waverunners with tandem trailer, and a small flotilla of inflatables and a selection of water skis and other watersports inventory.
