Property details
About 8255 Misery Bay Rd
This quality 3/4 bed, 2 bath home is in an amazing location with state land on one side, a 133 acre township park with 9632 feet of Lake Huron frontage on another side, and 150ft of frontage on a canal to Lake Huron. The home was drastically over built and has been maintained over the years so it will likely only require cosmetic updates to the new owners taste. The kitchen is very large with a commercial stove and excessive amounts of storage. There is a main floor master suite and two bedrooms upstairs. The master suite has it's own sliding door and deck. There is a 4th bedroom or office area on the main floor. The bath on the main floor has been recently updated. The large sunken living room centers on the fireplace. Outside there is a 2 car detached garage with a wood burning furnace and 220 electric, a smoker for your fish, and a garden shed. The adjoining lot that also comes with the property doubling the land and includes an old cottage in disrepair. The wood addition will likely need to be torn down and removed but the original cinder block building appears to be very solid with no cracks or failings in the block. There also does not appear to be any roof leaks in this area. This could be made into a guest house, game room, or storage building. Or removed to add to the yard. Kayaking from the property or from the township park gets you access to many excellent sites including the Lake Huron sinkholes, Thunder Bay Island and lighthouse, parts of the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge, the Monohansett shipwreck in just 18 feet of water, or the much deeper Pewebic shipwreck. When Lake Huron water levels are in upcycle boat traffic is possible on the canal. The township park has developed trails for walking or jogging and the state land is completely undeveloped ad available for hunting or other outdoor activities. The area feels secluded even though it is less than 10 minutes to downtown Alpena. A spring at the end of the canal prevents freezing in winter and attracts wildlife year around.
