Why St.
Ignace?
A few years
ago, while vacationing, my wife and I stopped in and stayed for
a few days. It did not take but a few days to get the feeling.
Good, friendly people, willing to help. Yes a tourist town in
summer with crowed streets during all the special events, but
still a nice place. Our first impression was great. Little did
we know that immediately upon arriving back home in Blue
Springs, MO. my wife and I began looking on the internet for
property and thinking of the possibilities. We discovered our
mutual interest while driving to Detroit for Thanksgiving. We
decided right then to take a little detour and come up to St.
Ignace after the holiday. We were still impressed. So with no
ties other than a house and friends, we bought lots, thinking we
would build.
When we first
announced that we decided we were moving to St. Ignace, the most
common reaction of family and friends was; why on earth would
you want to live way up there with all the cold, desolation,
away from family, etc. we heard it all, and we would say because
we like it and we can.
And here is
why:
- Driving or
walking into town along US 2, you round the bend a see the
Lake Huron shore and the old railroad dock greeting you. What
better visual effect is there, everywhere you turn it is a
postcard moment.
- I can walk
almost everywhere I want to go. We can walk to the Post
Office, Grocery Store, Hospital, Pharmacy, Library, Hardware
stores, Banks, and my favorite Café in ten minutes or so if we
choose.
- After being
here just a short while; yes, even in the winter, looking out
the window at the pines and cedars you get the feeling of
serenity.
- I resided
and worked in the hectic world for the first 45 years of my
life. Now I walk or bike down to the corner turn left and
look north and see the lake and the Wawatam Lighthouse. If I
turn right and go a half mile I can see the Mighty Mac. It
never fails to bring a smile.
- I have
lived in Detroit, Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angles, San
Francisco, and Kansas City where going to work usually took a
commute of between ¾ of an hour to 1½ hours on good days with
bumper-to- bumper traffic with its associated noise and
obnoxious odors – Not here in St. Ignace or Mackinac County.
There are no traffic lights.
- The word
COMMUNITY comes to mind as I go about my daily life. Webster
defines community as a group of people living together; having
interest, work, etc. in common. I have resided in towns and
cities all my life but never have I had the feeling of a
“total community” as I get living here. When a group has a
function the town turns out.

"What a great
team"! You guys helped me sell my home and move to the country with
my animals. We now have plenty of room to roam. This was a
difficult task and your team pulled it off and made my dreams come true and
I can' thank you enough. My animals thank you too! It was a true pleasure
doing business with you.

"Cheryl and
Crew, Many, many thanks! for handling the sale of our "Brevort
Family Home". We spent several hours with the new family on Saturday

"Cheryl......Thanks so much for brokering my purchase of my new U.P.
Hunting acreage. It is the culmination of my dreams come true. I already have
3 blinds built with a cabin to follow soon. Your sales staff is so friendly
and helpful and where else in Michigan could a person such as myself use
a rifle for the down payment on property".
