What You Need to Know
Tip-O-The Thumb Haven is located in a rural area near the tip of Michigan’s Thumb. The nearest small town
is Grindstone City 3-1/2 miles to the West.
The primary industry in Huron County is farming and summer tourism. There are many beautiful farms in the
area, and the shoreline of Lake Huron has numerous year-round homes and summer cottages. There are
plenty of open spaces, woods, and a real country atmosphere. We have limited city services here, which is
part of what helps keep this area pristine and natural.
The property is zoned Residential by Port Austin Township. They issue building site permits in accordance
with local zoning regulations that include minimum size requirements of buildings. The Huron County
Building and Zoning Department in Bad Axe issues construction permits. There are no camping facilities here
and the lots can only be used for camping a few days a year pursuant to Township zoning regulations.
Electric, telephone and cable distribution lines are in place. For new construction, contact the utility providers
to determine what, if any, costs may be involved to run the lines to the structure and connect service. Signals
for cell phone use are intermittent. Television reception is limited.
Individual propane tanks provide gas. Public water or sewer are not available. Sewage disposal is by septic
system. Drilled water wells have a low success rate, and most properties have a water holding tank with
water delivered by a licensed water hauler. Unless you live here year-round with a family, this is actually less
expensive than the cost of installing a drilled well or a hook-up to municipal water. The Huron County Health
Department issues permits for sewage disposal and water supply.
The county road commission does not maintain the roads. There is no homeowners association. Roads are
maintained by property owners with voluntary contributions. Approximately 85% of the homes are vacation
properties, some used year-round, and approximately 15% are permanent year-round residences.
Building restrictions issued years ago have since been superseded by more strict Township Zoning and
County Building regulations, with the exception that a mobile home may be placed East of the main entrance
road, Huron Way, and to the West homes must be site built, modular, or a manufactured home.
All sales are handled through a licensed real estate broker. Prior to closing Seller pays for sewage disposal
permits and township site permit applications so buyer can be assured the site is suitable for building. Seller
pays also closing costs that include, title insurance and transfer tax,
