Description
Welcome to your lake front cottage or year round home offering 197' of lake frontage on Merrill Lake. Enjoy peace and quiet on this 90 acre lake located 3 miles north of Barryton and just west of M-66. Merrill Lake has a 10 hp limit and great fishing for Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed Sunfish, Black Crappie, Walleye and Yellow Perch. The original owners have taken meticulous care in building and living in this home as their year around residence since 1978. The 1,144 s.f. home, 24' x 36' two car garage and 10'x 10' shed/man cave all sit on a 72' x 186' lot flanked by an additional vacant lot on each side and another lot across the street that has a 18' x 24' pole barn - that's the house plus 3 buildable lots!!! Enjoy spectacular views of the lake out the wall of windows in the open living room or on the 12'x 18' deck. Updates include Elk Timberline Prestique 40-year / 90 mph roof new in 2007, new septic in 2004.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child briefly attended this school and the staff was spectacular. We had a good experience there and were sad to leave. The principle was truly caring and the teachers were wonderful and doing the best they could. The large class sizes and budget issues were a drawback. However I think this school was great . The middle school on the other hand, not good.Parent Review12y ago - Chippewa Hills Intermediate School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs other reviews have mentioned. this school runs on nepotism & favoritism. I cannot comprehend how other reviewers left a good rating. The passive racism & discrimination amongst my classmates was blatantly obvious yet no staff seemed to care. Do not attend this school if you are an ethnic minority. (Don't attend this school in general, avoid at all costs if possible). Bullying is a huge issue, despite what some staff may say. It's brushed under the rug and ignored. Unless your family is "important" to the school or if you have a close connection to the staff, you're on your own. Don't expect the teachers or other staff to intervene. Drugs is another huge issue. It's not just the high school specifically; it's rampant in the entire Chippewa Hills School District, unfortunately including the elementaries. Most classmates & students I know had /some/ interaction with drugs by the time they got into 8th grade. If you send your child here, it can only be expected that they will eventually get involved with it as well. It's practically unavoidable. I highly recommend literally any other school except this one.Other Review3y ago
