TBD Tbd 9.5 Rd, Fairbanks Township, MI 49835

Plan your escape to this unique wilderness stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline of 18+ acres and approximately 500 feet of private frontage on the Garden Peninsula. From the road, the property is mostly level with a gentle slope through a beautiful stand of mature northern hardwoods. As you approach the lake, the character of the land changes dramatically, giving way to cedar and other conifers along a rugged limestone bluff approximately 40 feet above the water. Massive limestone ledges define the bluff, with old cedar trees growing from cracks in the rock and a natural pathway winding down through the ledges to the shoreline below. At water’s edge, loose limestone rock and the open expanse of Lake Michigan create a wild, dramatic setting where you’ll experience everything the lake has to offer—from calm summer mornings to crashing waves and powerful fall storms. This is a property for someone looking to truly get away from it all. There is good road access, although the road is not county plowed, and electrical service does not extend to the property, making this an ideal location for an off-grid cabin, camp or private retreat. Once you leave the beaten path in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, places offering this degree of privacy and isolation can still be found with some effort. Wildlife is abundant throughout the Garden Peninsula, and the surrounding woods and the shoreline offers endless opportunities to simply explore, watch nature and enjoy the solitude. Despite the secluded setting, you’re not far from conveniences and recreation. The village of Garden offers restaurants, gas and groceries, with Garden Golf nearby and several public boat launches providing access to the surrounding waters. Historic Fayette State Park and its beautifully restored 19th-century iron-smelting village make a great destination for visiting family and friends, and the park also offers an excellent public marina capable of accommodating larger boats. Commercial air service is available in both Escanaba and Marquette. If a wilderness setting, right on the shore of Lake Michigan, surrounded by mature hardwood forest and rugged limestone cliffs, is the place for you, then you better not wait!
