Rustic Luxury Inside $8.5M Log Cabin On U.P. Private Island

Love Montana? Feeling like you should have been a cowboy and can't get enough of the show Yellowstone? There's no need to go west in search of the perfect serene rustic lodge to call home. Everything you could ever want in a log cabin retreat is waiting for you in Watersmeet, Michigan for a cool $8,500,000.

I love amazing homes, and yes, I am easily impressed by those unique places and have those added extras, but this one...wow...just wow. If I ever win a gazillion dollars, you'll find me searching to buy something exactly like the home on Mamie Lake Road.

What really makes this compound unique is the property. The home sits on an island of  16 acres of undisturbed wilderness along the shore of the Cisco Chain of Lakes in the Upper Peninsula not far from the Wisconsin border. With more than a mile of private shoreline, you'll think you've died and gone to Pure Michigan heaven.

According to the listing, the home was custom-designed to be a secluded family retreat, and with just over 10,000 square feet of living space, there's plenty of room. Gather the family and guests in the incredible great room, which has 32-foot cathedral ceilings, a wall of windows facing the lake, and a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone wood fireplace.

The custom, decorated in true wilderness rustic style, has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms so there is plenty of room for everyone. The dining area offers seating for 20-24 guests, with a kitchen anyone would envy complete with a bar serving area with wine coolers and tappers.

The fisherman in you will love the outdoor sports building for storing rods, reels, nets, and anything else you need to enjoy the great outdoors. There is also an area for cleaning and storing the day's fresh catch. After a day of fun and adventure, you can stroll the grounds, take the pathway to the pond to check out the waterfalls, and then relax at the picnic area with a bonfire.
