This lodge sits on 156 acres of diverse habitat as well as 2 miles of water frontage on Lake Winyah at the confluence of 2 large rivers as well as many bayous and creeks. The lodge has been extensively updated and remodeled over the last several years and sits in a beautiful protective cove surrounded by nature. The acreage is level, wooded, and adjoins state land. The property goes from high and dry hardwoods and pines to thick alders and pines to bayou and diverse wetland habitat. The owner has planted over 120 apple trees in the last several years. The property has good white tail and bear. The property also has some amazing duck habitat. This is the most grouse I have seen on a property in the Lower Peninsula. I have also encountered woodcock here. The lake is 1530 acres and is mostly shallow outside of the river channels and near the damn. The whole lake is excellent fishing and has been stocked with Muskie and Walleye regularly. This could be one of the most under appreciated fishing lakes in the Lower Peninsula. The property sits where the North and Main Branches of the Thunder Bay River come together allowing for boating or paddling up either river. This is an excellent multi-species and multi-sport camp. in addition to the lodge there is also a small trappers cabin in functional condition and an RV hookup.

This exceptional property spans over 400 acres of diverse land, offering more than 3 miles of lake and river frontage. The main cabin is a 1,400-square-foot, on-grid retreat, set on a delta-like waterway that provides a postcard-perfect setting and abundant wildlife. Recently updated, the cabin offers a charming interior ambiance, making it fully functional as either a cabin or a home. Located in the southern part of the property along the Thunder Bay River, you'll find a smaller, more traditional on-grid cabin nestled in an idyllic setting. Accessible by boat in the summer or on foot/ATV in the winter, this cabin adds a unique touch to the property. Additionally, a small "trapper’s cabin" is also located on-site. The land itself is incredibly diverse, with a mix of pine and hardwood stands, towering red and white pines, oak, maple, aspen, and cedar lowlands. It also features some of the best wood duck habitat available. The frontage along both Lake Winyah and the Thunder Bay River offers a variety of landscapes, from delta-like islands and marshy habitats to tall waterfront pines. The owner planted 120 apple trees, created several food plots, and developed many trails throughout the property. Eagles nest along the shore. In addition to the property’s private acreage, it adjoins state land, expanding your hunting opportunities. Lake Winyah is an excellent fishery, stocked biannually with muskies, and is home to bass and panfish. The many bays and islands offer prime paddling, fishing, and waterfowl hunting spots. The property is enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program, providing the owner with valuable tax benefits. This unique property could be ideal for a group of outdoor enthusiasts looking for a shared retreat or as a private lodge for someone who appreciates nature and desires a diverse, multi-species landscape.
