Land Description
Price Reduced! Upper Michigan Country Home on 40+/- Acres for Sale! Located in Quincy Township in north-eastern Houghton County, this is one great property in an area of so many things to do! The Quincy Mine, with the world's largest steam hoist, is located about two miles to the south. The historic mine was once a flourishing copper mine. Today it is part of the Keweenaw National Historic Park, and it offers both surface and underground tours that go seven levels underground. A challenging and scenic bike trail leads from Hancock, the largest city south of the property, to Copper Harbor located at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula. This trail takes you through the heart of Copper Country. When more than three-quarters of the nation's copper came from this region of the Keweenaw Peninsula, Mineral Range Railroad cars hauled hard-rock copper along this route. Today the rolling corridor is home to 13.4 miles of trail that also goes by the names "Jack Stevens Calumet-Hancock Rail Trail" and "Snowmobile Trail #17." Mont Ripley Ski Hill is just four+ miles away - This is a challenging hill with a small, but adequate beginner's area. The powder off of Lake Superior makes this one of the snowiest ski hills in the Midwest with a large ski bowl and glade skiing allowed. A new tubing park provides activities for non skiers and snowboarders. Six+ miles to the north is McLain State Park - a 443-acre state park. Spectacular scenery, and ice formations along the shore, attract cross-country skiers and snowshoers here in the
Winter. Two miles of sand beach, picnicking, playground, horseshoe pits, hiking and fitness trails, and volleyball equipment provide Summer fun. It's also the best place in the area to watch Lake Superior sunsets. The original home was built in the 1930s, and has been lovingly remodeled, with additions built in 1972, and 1984. A large covered entrance Porch welcomes you to this home. A Foyer with large closet leads to the Living Room, which has a Dining Area.
