Enjoy 10 wooded acres in Northern Michigan with some of the hard work already done! Located on a private road near Mancelona, this property offers a great mix of privacy, recreation, and potential for a future home or getaway. A cleared site sits atop the hill, while an operational well, electric service, and 30-amp hookups provide a great starting point whether you're looking to build or simply enjoy the property for camping and recreation. A loop driveway provides easy access, and the storage trailer currently on the property will remain. A manicured trail circles the property, giving you plenty of room to explore the woods and enjoy the mature trees and peaceful setting. Property lines are marked with red painted markings on trees, along with metal ground markers that can be located with a metal detector. State land, hunting opportunities, and ORV trails are also just minutes away. The property feels tucked away while still keeping you within easy reach of everything Northern Michigan has to offer. Manistee Lake is less than 10 minutes away, with Mancelona approximately 10 minutes, Kalkaska 15 minutes, Torch Lake 25 minutes, and Traverse City about 45 minutes away. Private road maintenance, including items such as snow plowing, is handled through an annual cost included with the property taxes, currently around $400-$500 per year. Whether you're looking for a place to build, camp, nature walk, or simply have your own piece of Northern Michigan, there is a lot of opportunity here to make it what you want.
