From the moment you enter this beautiful 3+ acre property, you're surrounded by the peace and tranquility of Up North living. Rolling, wooded terrain and impressive elevation changes create a setting filled with character, privacy, and possibilities. Near the entrance, the first level of the property offers a smaller area suitable for a camper or recreational setup. Follow the existing driveway up through the property and you'll arrive at a flat, open clearing tucked toward the back of the parcel, offering plenty of room for a future home, cabin, homestead, or Up North basecamp. The surrounding wooded hills provide a natural buffer from the road, while the terrain may also lend itself beautifully to a walkout-style design. Access is convenient from a paved county road, and with the driveway already established, much of the groundwork for enjoying the property has begun. The property has also been surveyed, with boundary markers in place and survey documentation available, providing added convenience for the next owner. Best of all, you're just around the corner from extensive ORV and snowmobile trail systems, thousands of acres of state land, and numerous rivers and lakes—putting some of Northern Michigan's best recreation within easy reach. Whether you're dreaming of building a year-round home, creating a hunting retreat, parking the camper for weekend adventures, or establishing your own recreational headquarters, this property delivers the space and setting to make it happen. Ride the trails. Explore the woods. Sit around the campfire. Watch the stars come out. This is Up North living the way it's meant to be.
