Property Description
MICHIGAN WATERFRONT HOME FOR SALE! Nestled along the pristine shores of Lake Superior, this exceptional Seven Bedroom, Three Bath Home offers luxurious lakeside living in a setting of deep historical roots and natural beauty. Beach lovers will treasure access to the soft sands and crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and sunbathing right at the front door! Imagine waking each morning to the gentle sounds of Lake Superior's waves lapping against the shoreline. Just stroll from your door and you are at the Big Bay Harbor of Refuge with its protective break wall, 275' sheet pile and concrete mooring with water and power at each slip, a boat launch, and harbormaster services - perfect for the avid boater or fishing enthusiast. Your new address places you just outside the charming unincorporated community of Big Bay in northern Marquette County, where History lives and breathes. In the evening you can sit by the grill for perfect sunset cookouts! The property also features an outdoor wood furnace and a reliable backup generator system that activates automatically during power outages—both valuable amenities included with the sale. The property sits within an area rich in cultural heritage, where local Native American tribes thrived. Visit Burns Cabin to discover the area's Native American heritage dating back to the 1600s, when local tribes used the protected barrier beach for trading wild rice and cranberries cultivated here centuries ago. Beginning as a lumber town in 1875 the Village rose to prominence when Henry Ford purchased and revitalized it in 1943. Ford's vision transformed this charming lakeside community into both a business hub for his automobile empire and a personal retreat where he and his wife Clara would entertain friends and executives. Ford watched his sawmill from his hotel balcony—a sawmill that initially manufactured the nation's bowling pins and later produced wooden panels for Ford's iconic Woody Wagons. The iconic Thunder Bay Inn where Henry Ford once held court in Room 201, still bears his name today. Film enthusiasts will recognize Big Bay as the filming location for the classic "Anatomy of a Murder" (1959), with scenes shot at the Thunder Bay Inn, Big Bay Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast, and the Lumberjack Tavern—site of the real 1952 crime that inspired the film. Community amenities include the nearby Bay Cliff Health Camp, a year-round, non-profit wellness facility serving children and adults with physical disabilities. Located 28 miles northwest of Marquette, this property balances peaceful seclusion with reasonable access to larger community amenities. Whether you're seeking a permanent residence or a spectacular vacation retreat, this Big Bay property offers a lifestyle that combines luxury waterfront living with rich historical significance—a legacy property in a setting that once captivated one of America's greatest industrialists and continues to enchant visitors today.
