Hidden island on Lake Superior has 114-acre property for sale

David Graff can recall vivid childhood memories of frequent trips to his uncle's property on Whitefish Bay just off the coast of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where he would swim, fish, hike and enjoy life outdoors.

Now it's time for others to make new memories. The property on 2250-acre Parisian Island is owned by Graff’s uncle, Carl Cohen, a retired professor from the University of Michigan. Cohen recently listed the 114-acre parcel on the island for $700,000.

According to Private Islands Inc, the island is in waters between American and Canadian shores in the eastern part of Lake Superior. It is located about 10 miles southeast of Whitefish Point, Michigan, and about 6 miles west of Canada.

Graff said they typically hired a boat on the Canadian side near Gross Cap and Goulais to take them to the island. However, he has also traveled there through charter companies and by helicopter.

The property is marked with a variety of landscapes including sandy beaches, thick forests, and open meadows.
