117 Homan Lake Rd , Iron River, MI 49935(Iron County)

Price Reduced! Upper Michigan Waterfront Home (Featured in 2013 Cabin Life Magazine) Now Offered for Sale! This lake home was designed by Albertsson Hansen Architecture as a retirement home and a gathering place for family and friends. The home is located on Homan Lake, a 153-Acre lake located in Iron County, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Iron County is characterized by the vast forested regions. The County consists of 749,440 acres and includes over 400 small lakes and five major rivers. This is a no-wake fishing lake with Northern, Walleye, and Perch. The shoreline has a sand and rock bottom, and the property is wooded with maple, spruce, poplar, pine and cedar. This beautiful pristine lake was once called Lake Seventeen, but today is called Homan Lake after a family name. The surrounding woods have been in the Homan family since 1945 and have remained largely unchanged through three generations. The lake is set between large portions of the Ottawa National Forest. Almost one million acres of the Ottawa National Forest are located in this western part of the Upper Peninsula. The forest extends from the south shore of Lake Superior to the Wisconsin border. The area is rich in wildlife viewing opportunities; breathtaking views of rolling hills dotted with lakes, rivers and waterfalls; and spectacular fall colors. The site-specific designed home, built in 2009, was placed to disturb the land and vegetation as little as possible. Great care was taken to design it to embrace its visual and physical connection to the outdoors, maximizing solar exposure for heating and lighting. The site also provides protection from prevailing winds, while utilizing natural ventilation for summer cooling. The home has great lake views from the Main Gathering Room, Porches and Patios! Each room in the home has a different theme. The kitchen has a warm lodge-like feeling - custom Alder cabinets, and wall paneling, along with a cedar ceiling have been used here. A granite surfaced Island is painted red to break up the abundance of wood, and to provide a focal point. A 6x8 Pantry/Food Prep Room adjoins the Kitchen. The Main 14x20 Bedroom has an adjoining 11x22 Bath that will remind you of a modern spa-like retreat. A 16x18 Study with a beautiful fireplace and built-in cabinetry adjoins a 10x16 Three-Season Room for outdoor relaxation.
