3,554 FEET OF LAKE SUPERIOR FRONTAGE - 70-ACRES OF PRIVATE WOODLANDS - AND A 3,200 SQUARE FOOT CRAFTSMAN STYLED HOME FOR SALE! Beautiful Braeloch!! Brae Loch is thoroughly Scottish - and means "Hillside by the Lake" in Scots Gaelic. The property has approximately 3,554+/- feet of Lake Superior frontage with an elevated setting for unmatched sunset view over the crystal clear waters of Lake Superior, the largest fresh water lake in the world! It also has 70+/- Acres of woodlands covering an upper ridge, and a lower ridge, and offers privacy and seclusion. The shoreline features some Great Lakes Maritime History. The Bon Voyage, a passenger steamer built in 1891, which originally ran between Chicago and Saugatuck, and was brought to Lake Superior in 1900. The 30' x 153' vessel carried passengers and supplies between Duluth and the Copper Country. On May 10, 1901 a fire broke out on board . Not able to launch the life boats or life rafts, the Captain decided to beach the craft. The crew and passengers escaped, except for four members of a Laurium family that were drowned in their attempt to get to shore. Today the 127 year old skeletal remains of this beautiful ship lies embeded in the beach sand of this property. A Private Drive through gently rolling northern mixed hardwoods and conifers brings you to the Craftsman Styled home in a landscaped setting. Natural Lake Superior field stone foundation edging with limestone caps, palladian styled windows, Western cedar siding, cedar surrounds around windows, high pitched roof lines topped with vented coupolas, and peaked dormers, blend beautifully together to create a unique look for this custom home.
