Escape to your own piece of Northern Michigan! Situated on 40 beautiful acres of rolling, wooded countryside, this unique property offers the perfect setting for a family hunting camp, Up North getaway, or private recreational retreat. Lovingly referred to as "the cabin" by the sellers, who have enjoyed it as a year-round home, this property is truly more than just a cabin! With no electric service, the property is powered by marine batteries & a generator, offering an opportunity to unplug, slow down, and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. The cabin is heated by 2 propane wall furnaces & a wood stove. Enjoy your morning coffee or watch nature from the cozy sunroom! Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the trails for walking, exploring, or riding your ATV, along with approx. 7 box blinds, 9 ladder stands, & 3 previously maintained food plots. The property is situated on both sides of the road, with the cabin conveniently located on the North side & the majority of the acreage on the South side, creating a great setup for hunting & enjoying the outdoors. State land in also on the NE & NW corners. But there's more to this property than just hunting! The sellers have lovingly planted & maintained perennial gardens, adding a touch of home & color throughout the seasons. A charming storage/garden shed offers the perfect spot for gardening or hobbies. Plenty of room for your recreational toys and equipment in the 24x24 pole barn with a cement floor & an additional 12-foot lean-to for extra storage. Beautiful year-round, this property offers something special in every season, from colorful fall foliage to peaceful winter scenery and the beauty of spring and summer in the woods. Enjoy the privacy and serenity of your own acreage while still being just a short drive from nearby rural community conveniences. If you've been dreaming of owning your own piece of Northern Michigan & enjoying all that nature has to offer, this may be just the place you've been looking for!
