A private group of four islands stretching 520 acres lies along the US-Canada border, now listed for $2.3 million. The sale encompasses a renovated home, machinery, two boats, and a dock slip on the mainland. Burnt Island dominates the property, comprising most of the land and housing the main residence and facilities. Adjacent Wilson, Claw, and Harris Islands form a smaller cluster.
The estate merges private wilderness with conservation protections, offering approximately 2,000 feet of waterfront along northern Michigan's international water boundary. The main house, situated on Burnt Island's southern end, boasts 270-degree views of the surrounding waterways and shipping lanes. Fully renovated from 2017 to 2018, it features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and is sold in a turnkey condition with furnishings and equipment included.
Aside from the houses and facilities, the sale includes a utility truck, Kubota tractor with brush hog, riding lawn mower, sauna building, and two motorboats for maintenance and island-to-island travel. The property also features two docks and breakwalls rebuilt between 2022 and 2023, along with a dedicated boat slip in DeTour Village, Michigan, providing regular access.
About 420 acres across the islands are protected by a permanent conservation easement, preventing future commercial development and construction. This helps preserve native forests and wildlife habitats. The remaining 100 acres offer private recreation, including walking trails, wild fruit orchards, milkweed meadows, and quiet coves, home to wildlife like bald eagles, sandhill cranes, red foxes, otters, beavers, coyotes, and white-tailed deer.
The nearby waters in Potagannissing Bay are a recognized fishing area, supporting native populations of walleye, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and cisco. This rare Upper Peninsula offering, located about 2,000 feet from the US-Canada maritime border, provides a secluded yet convenient location near major Great Lakes shipping routes.
