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!

Property taxes: the seller's bill vs. yours
| This seller today | You, the year after buying | |

Michigan caps a homeowner's taxable value until the home sells, then it resets. That's about $2,903 a year more than this seller pays. The assessor's state equalized value (SEV) is $49,600. Your taxable value resets to the SEV the year after you buy, and assessors usually raise it to about half the sale price. Estimate uses Port Huron's 2025 homestead rate of 41.31 mills and assumes you claim the homestead exemption. See Port Huron's full tax breakdown or run the uncapping calculator.
