About this home
Fantastic once in a generation opportunity to purchase a vanishing property type: Classic fishing shanty on the St. Clair River in the City of Port Huron. Located at a picturesque bend in the St. Clair River with incredible views of the Blue Water Bridge and into Lake Huron. Enjoy watching river traffic and activity in Sarnia Harbor. The property to south is owned by the City of Port Huron, is vacant and offers views and privacy to the south. The seawall and six ten inch steel pilings (which support and or protect the shanty) were installed in 2009. Water and sewer service was brought to the seawall and is not connected to the shanty. Imagine the possibilities and enjoyment of using the property as it is or possibly creating one of the most unique living experiences on the Great Lakes!

How it compares in Port Huron
Over the last 90 days, 130 homes sold in Port Huron for a median of $180,000, about $123 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 8 days. This home is listed at $225,000, and has been on the market 135 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Port Huron sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $1,744 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $994 to $4,694 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 41.31 mills for Port Huron City and Port Huron schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
