Summary

In March 2002, Ed Wojan Realty advertised Parcel III of the North Arm on Lake Geneserath as an approximately one-acre parcel with 140 feet of lake frontage on the north side of Hemlock Point, also called Whitetail Point. The listing described hardwoods and conifers, a cleared lake view, and possible cabin or fishing-cabin use at an asking price of $59,500.

It identifies Hemlock Point Road off East Side Drive, before the Cable’s Creek road culvert, as the access. The record remains a listing lead rather than a surveyed parcel or completed transaction.

Open questions

  • Which deed, plat, or current parcel corresponds to Parcel III?
  • Does the 140-foot frontage and approximately one-acre size remain accurate?

It says Hemlock Point Road off East Side Drive provides access before the Cable’s Creek road culvert. This is a listing, not a deed, survey, completed sale, or exact polygon. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.

  3. The snapshot contains parcel 012-015-013-10 at approximately -85.5301713, 45.6010902: 1.1 acres on Hemlock Point with Lake Geneserath frontage, and its legal description explicitly follows 140.0 feet of shoreline. Those distinctive acreage/frontage figures match the 2002 listing and make this the strongest current parcel candidate; its representative point is used as the property anchor. The parcel centroid is an approximate locator, not a surveyed boundary or proof that the listing transaction or access arrangement was completed.
