The site contains approximately 780 feet of frontage on St. Mary's Lake, a non-meandered lake. A significant portion of the site is low and wet, and is wooded with mature red pine, birch and hardwoods. Due to the low nature of the much of the shoreline, and the setbacks requirements, the most likely building site is on the non-lakeshore portion of the property between St. Mary's Ct. Rd and Miller Trunk Road. There is easy access to the property of Hwy 53 and lots of outdoor recreational opportunities including golf and bike, ski, snowmobile and OHV’s trails.
