ppropriately dubbed Antler Bay, this nearly 1,700-acre Upper Peninsula property is a top hunting spot for deer and much more. Onsite is an 8,500-square-foot main lodge, a 1,450square-foot bunkhouse, a 5,800-square-foot shop/office/ processing center, a cabin, and lots and lots of privacy. “You are your own neighbor,” says Wayne Crosby of RE/ MAX of Midland, who, along with colleague Pat Devereaux, is listing the property. “It’s great for year-round use. It could be a vacation spot or a corporate retreat.” The property, located on the St. Marys River in Barbeau, Michigan, about 20 miles south of Sault Ste. Marie, was developed around 2000. It’s just 16 miles east of the Chippewa County International Airport, which handles both commercial and private jets. The main home boasts a whopping seven bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths. But there’s more, including an indoor swimming pool and spa, a fieldstone fireplace, radiant in-floor heating, and an extra-large, three-car garage.

“The master bedroom is out of this world, with walk-in showers,” Devereaux says. In addition to the master suite on the first floor, there are two additional master suites upstairs. The modern, gourmet kitchen has plenty of room to entertain while preparing food, which is made easy with two ovens, a warming drawer, trash compactor, and a walk-in pantry. That’s not to mention the floor-to-ceiling windows that provide expansive views of the water. The wraparound deck is another perfect spot to drink in the vistas. Across the road from the main house and still part of the property is 300 feet of St. Marys River frontage and a dock that can accommodate a 50-foot boat. There are three lakes on site, perfect for fishing and duck hunting — and plenty of room for snowmobiling, skiing, hiking, nature watching and more. The hunting operation includes a large enclosure with 10-foot fences. Within that enclosure is the cabin, which can be used as a hunting blind or warming house; the office/ deer processing facility complete with walk-in cooler; and the two-bedroom, one-bath log bunkhouse.
