About This Home

Off-Grid Lakefront Cabin on Porter Lake Discover a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a cabin on the tranquil shores of Porter Lake, with 2.34 acres and offering 220 feet of private lake frontage with no public access. Built primarily in 2023, this off-grid retreat has modern conveniences like a push-button generator and an in-home Jackery power station for electricity when needed. Enjoy the simplicity of all-propane appliances, including lights, making the cabin completely independent of the electric grid—no utility bills! Located just 10 miles off Highway 141 near Amasa, the journey to this remote oasis is as exciting as the destination, with opportunities to spot moose in their natural habitat. Once here, it’s hard to leave, thanks to breathtaking sunsets and excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, perch, smallmouth bass, and panfish. The cabin’s low-maintenance vinyl log siding means no need for staining or painting, allowing you more time to relax and enjoy the wilderness. Whether you’re looking for a family getaway or a secluded fishing spot where you may be the only boat on the lake, this property offers unmatched peace and privacy. Come explore this rare opportunity on Porter Lake—your perfect off-grid escape awaits!
