Priced at $40 million, Michigan's most expensive home for sale is like a giant cabinet of curiosities
Called Granot Loma, this gigantic log cabin sits on the shores of Lake Superior, north of Marquette, Michigan.
It was built and named in 1923 by its original owner, financier Louis G. Kaufman.
Kaufman played a pivotal role in the founding of General Motors, where he was on the board for 20 years.
The 26,000-square-foot main home originally cost $5 million to construct.
The mansion was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1991.
Inside, the cozy cabin makes full use of its space with wall-to-wall taxidermy.
There are also totem poles...
...portraits of Native Americans...
...teepees...
...and many statues.
A huge bear rug cushions your walk into the stone-filled bathroom.

The bedrooms are especially cozy and woodsy.
There are 23 bedrooms in total.
An excellent man cave, the bar area is festooned with taxidermy.
There's room for a full-size pool table.
The dining room is predictably grand, and overlooks the lake.
The mansion's generous square footage allows for numerous sitting areas.
The views of Lake Superior continue in this dining room.
Among the estate's outbuildings is this guest house with four apartments.
A 3,000 gallon hot tub abuts the pool house.
Out back, there's a place for boats to dock inside a private marina.
The estate's best amenity is its 5,000 acres of timbered land and trail system, with 3.7 miles of Lake Superior shoreline.
