318 Jasper, Ishpeming, MI 49849

When a home has been filled with love for this long, you can feel it radiating out from the moment you walk in. This exceptional location is nestled at the foot of Jasper Knob, a solid bluff of banded hematite and jaspilite, world renowned for its beauty and geological importance and site of one of the first iron prospecting claims in the 1860s. Take a 5 minute walk out your front door and enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree views and spectacular sunsets from the bluff. The view from the front is a majestic grove of 100-year old pines surrounded by a stone wall crafted in the early 1900s by Italian stonemasons hired to work at the nearby CCI Mather Cottage. History and beauty abounds in this place. Whether hiking, biking, or snowshoeing is your thing, access to the trails is just steps from your door. The house has been lovingly maintained. In the last four years, a new roof, boiler, electric panel, roof heat tape, 1st floor powder room, plumbing, carpeting, and exterior and interior paint have all been updated or added. Operated as a successful AirBnB for the last few years, the current owners are willing to offer many of the furnishings at an additional cost. This would be a great opportunity to acquire an established and successful business for some extra cash flow. The popular Polar Roll and Marji Gesik bike races pass right by the front door making it a popular spot to stay year through all four seasons. As a single family home, you’ll appreciate all the custom touches. Built in shelving in the mudroom and living room along with a number of custom painted murals give the home a unique charm. Outside, an oversized single car garage provides plenty of storage. Off the back of the home, you can relax on either the lower patio or upper balcony overlooking the lush and serene backyard. If you’re looking for an affordable place to call home while enjoying all the west end of Marquette County has to offer, this is your place. Schedule a showing today!
