Truly a Four Season Paradise, this is an outdoor enthusiasts ultimate turnkey recreational paradise with over five miles of maintained trails to explore and enjoy this very special Eastern Upper Peninsula Ranch.
Foster Lake Ranch envelopes you the moment you pass through the private gate. The owners are true stewards of living Life on the Land, having meticulously enhanced and maintained this beautiful property since 2001.
Foster Lake provides over 3 miles of water frontage with 3 creeks and natural springs that supply fresh water allowing lake depths of over 20 feet. Excellent fishing for Perch & Bluegill by boat, shoreline, or your dock just steps from your beautiful lodge home. Steelhead and Salmon are known to seasonally migrate into the creeks to spawn and reproduce.
Majestic white pines and the creek flowing from the lake between the house and boathouse gives the Up North feel like no other. The hardwood stands, spruce, hemlock, spring fed pond and cedar swamps along with strategically located food plots all offer the ultimate habitat for the wildlife that call this place home. Basswood trees have been planted by the owners along the food plots specifically for the whitetail deer that love to use for scraping areas.
The 5+ mile trail system provides great access to all areas of the property, including the 7 established food plots and the numerous permanent deer blinds and ladder stands that have been strategically positioned and groomed by the owners.
The timber value for select cutting can be a huge potential benefit for the new owners if desired.
Improvements
This impressive 5500 sq.ft. home was built in 2016 and was thoughtfully designed by its owners to bring the outdoors in. The beautiful White Cedar exterior wraps the home and complements the stunning interior finishes.
The great room features a gorgeous stone fireplace that was constructed from Lake Superior stones that were carefully handpicked by the owners. This comfortable living area of the home has vaulted ceilings and well appointed windows to enjoy the lake and wildlife views.
The gourmet kitchen enjoys the fireplace and the lake views, while featuring an island, very unique granite counter tops, beautiful rustic cherry cabinetry, a new induction stove top, a double oven and walk in pantry.
The large primary bedroom suite is conveniently located on the main level and takes full advantage of the lake views. The bath has a double sink and a 2 person shower that offers a lake view. The walk-in closet compliments the suite.
The two guest bedrooms are on the second floor along with a full bath with a walk-in shower. The finished bonus room is above the garage and accessed by a bedroom has many possibilities.
The trophy room that was custom designed by the owners for future window or door walls on either end makes for unlimited possibilities for this beautiful white cedar showroom.
The home has a finished 3-stall attached garage and the stairway to the crawlspace storage area.
Thoughtfully designed to live comfortably with daily tasks in mind; including main floor laundry and a Central Vac system. Geothermal in-floor heating, forced air A/C, and a wired Generac generator that provides peace of mind. The home is also equipped with Starlink high-speed satellite internet.
Four separate outbuildings are located adjacent to the home. The 2-story garage has a new steel roof in 2023 and the 2nd story has great potential to finish and utilize as guest quarters.
The boathouse has a new steel roof in 2023 and is used for kayak and canoe storage but has the look of a man cave or workshop potential.
A new pole building with wood floor was built in 2022. An additional storage shed is there for general use.

At Foster Lake Ranch, the outdoor recreational opportunities are endless with hiking , hunting, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, wildlife viewing, and bird watching are enjoyed to the fullest.

The U.P. is well known for its thousands of miles of groomed snowmobile trails, dozens of ski resorts and hundreds of miles of cross-country and snowshoe trails.
Chippewa County borders two of Michigan's Great Lakes, Superior & Huron, offering endless boating and sport fishing opportunities.
The U.P. is home to all but one of Michigan's waterfalls with more than 300 Falls scattered across the U.P., including Tahquamenon Falls which is just a short hour and half drive northwest.
Across these expansive miles of the U.P., you'll find yourself hiking or exploring on atv's the historic islands, to horseback riding along shorelines of the three freshwater Great Lakes or passing waterfalls and climbing mountains overlooking lakes that reflect the sky above you. As your exploration continues across the U.P., around the next bend may be a quaint & historic village or miles and miles of untouched public recreational land.
For the golfers in your family, there are seven courses in Chippewa County alone that offer the stunning U.P. beauty from blossoming Spring time to the long beautiful Summer days to the brilliant Fall season that showcases colors that rival anywhere in the world.

History
Rich in History and Culture Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan, and among the oldest cities in the United States. Over 2,000 years ago, Native Americans began to gather here for the wealth of fish and fur found along the rushing waters of the wide, turbulent river that linked the Great Lakes of Superior and Huron. Scholars of early French decent note that the word Sault translates into jump, referring to the place where the St. Mary's River jumps. Congress passed an act in 1852 to build a lock permitting commerce between Lake Superior and the other Great Lakes. In 1855, the locks were turned over to the state and designated as the State Lock. The federal government took control of the property and the lock system in the 1870's. Their stewardship continues today, administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Soo Locks are the busiest locks in the world, and include the largest lock in the Western Hemisphere, completed in 1968.

Chippewa County Summer months are mild and pleasant, although temperatures can still reach over 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the hottest days of the summer months.

History
Rich in History and Culture Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan, and among the oldest cities in the United States. Over 2,000 years ago, Native Americans began to gather here for the wealth of fish and fur found along the rushing waters of the wide, turbulent river that linked the Great Lakes of Superior and Huron. Scholars of early French decent note that the word Sault translates into jump, referring to the place where the St. Mary's River jumps. Congress passed an act in 1852 to build a lock permitting commerce between Lake Superior and the other Great Lakes. In 1855, the locks were turned over to the state and designated as the State Lock. The federal government took control of the property and the lock system in the 1870's. Their stewardship continues today, administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Soo Locks are the busiest locks in the world, and include the largest lock in the Western Hemisphere, completed in 1968.

Truly a Four Season Paradise, this is an outdoor enthusiasts ultimate turnkey recreational paradise with over five miles of maintained trails to explore and enjoy this very special Eastern Upper Peninsula Ranch.
Foster Lake Ranch envelopes you the moment you pass through the private gate. The owners are true stewards of living Life on the Land, having meticulously enhanced and maintained this beautiful property since 2001.
Foster Lake provides over 3 miles of water frontage with 3 creeks and natural springs that supply fresh water allowing lake depths of over 20 feet. Excellent fishing for Perch & Bluegill by boat, shoreline, or your dock just steps from your beautiful lodge home. Steelhead and Salmon are known to seasonally migrate into the creeks to spawn and reproduce.
Majestic white pines and the creek flowing from the lake between the house and boathouse gives the Up North feel like no other. The hardwood stands, spruce, hemlock, spring fed pond and cedar swamps along with strategically located food plots all offer the ultimate habitat for the wildlife that call this place home. Basswood trees have been planted by the owners along the food plots specifically for the whitetail deer that love to use for scraping areas.
The 5+ mile trail system provides great access to all areas of the property, including the 7 established food plots and the numerous permanent deer blinds and ladder stands that have been strategically positioned and groomed by the owners.
The timber value for select cutting can be a huge potential benefit for the new owners if desired.

Chippewa County Summer months are mild and pleasant, although temperatures can still reach over 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the hottest days of the summer months.

History
Rich in History and Culture Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan, and among the oldest cities in the United States. Over 2,000 years ago, Native Americans began to gather here for the wealth of fish and fur found along the rushing waters of the wide, turbulent river that linked the Great Lakes of Superior and Huron. Scholars of early French decent note that the word Sault translates into jump, referring to the place where the St. Mary's River jumps. Congress passed an act in 1852 to build a lock permitting commerce between Lake Superior and the other Great Lakes. In 1855, the locks were turned over to the state and designated as the State Lock. The federal government took control of the property and the lock system in the 1870's. Their stewardship continues today, administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Soo Locks are the busiest locks in the world, and include the largest lock in the Western Hemisphere, completed in 1968.

Truly a Four Season Paradise, this is an outdoor enthusiasts ultimate turnkey recreational paradise with over five miles of maintained trails to explore and enjoy this very special Eastern Upper Peninsula Ranch.
Foster Lake Ranch envelopes you the moment you pass through the private gate. The owners are true stewards of living Life on the Land, having meticulously enhanced and maintained this beautiful property since 2001.
Foster Lake provides over 3 miles of water frontage with 3 creeks and natural springs that supply fresh water allowing lake depths of over 20 feet. Excellent fishing for Perch & Bluegill by boat, shoreline, or your dock just steps from your beautiful lodge home. Steelhead and Salmon are known to seasonally migrate into the creeks to spawn and reproduce.
Majestic white pines and the creek flowing from the lake between the house and boathouse gives the Up North feel like no other. The hardwood stands, spruce, hemlock, spring fed pond and cedar swamps along with strategically located food plots all offer the ultimate habitat for the wildlife that call this place home. Basswood trees have been planted by the owners along the food plots specifically for the whitetail deer that love to use for scraping areas.
The 5+ mile trail system provides great access to all areas of the property, including the 7 established food plots and the numerous permanent deer blinds and ladder stands that have been strategically positioned and groomed by the owners.
The timber value for select cutting can be a huge potential benefit for the new owners if desired.

History
Rich in History and Culture Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan, and among the oldest cities in the United States. Over 2,000 years ago, Native Americans began to gather here for the wealth of fish and fur found along the rushing waters of the wide, turbulent river that linked the Great Lakes of Superior and Huron. Scholars of early French decent note that the word Sault translates into jump, referring to the place where the St. Mary's River jumps. Congress passed an act in 1852 to build a lock permitting commerce between Lake Superior and the other Great Lakes. In 1855, the locks were turned over to the state and designated as the State Lock. The federal government took control of the property and the lock system in the 1870's. Their stewardship continues today, administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Soo Locks are the busiest locks in the world, and include the largest lock in the Western Hemisphere, completed in 1968.
