Property Description
Set on 5.2 private, wooded acres at the southern edge of St. James on Beaver Island, this home is a masterwork of western lodge architecture translated for Northern Michigan living. Built by island-renowned builder Ron Wojan, with steel-reinforced timber framing throughout, it was constructed to endure. Florida pine paneling, reclaimed lumber flooring worn to a rich, storied patina, and cedar-lined closets speak to a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. Each of the four bedrooms enjoys its own en-suite bath. A covered entry welcomes you off the circular drive. Out back, the true showpiece: a 12' by 43' screened porch spanning the full width of the home, anchored by a dining area on one end and a built-in grilling station on the other, made for entertaining against the island backdrop. Inside, custom cabinetry glows with automatic backlighting, and the home was crafted with Beaver Island in mind, featuring many local pieces and touches throughout, including a handcrafted canoe from a local Beaver Island craftsman. A conservation easement to the west ensures the privacy of this setting for good. The 2,940 square feet of finished living space is supported by systems built for the demands of Up North living: dual propane furnaces, whole-house air conditioning, an automatic backup generator, and a deep well delivering pure, filter-free water. The roof is a heavy-duty Galvalume metal system. Beaver Island itself is part of the story: one of a small number of certified Dark Sky Sanctuaries in the world, prized for its star-filled skies and Northern Lights visibility, and a beloved Great Lakes sailing destination served by two marinas and two airports. This home could not be replicated today anywhere near the list price, a rare opportunity to own a true architectural achievement on one of the Great Lakes' most storied islands.
