Whether you’re looking for a vacation destination, an idyllic homestead, a place to start a farming endeavor, or the perfect acreage for your future dream home, this 80-acre parcel in Chatham has what it takes to make that dream come true. Previously a USDA certified organic market garden, the property is close enough to Munising and Marquette to find all the amenities you could ask for, yet far enough away to enjoy a slower pace of life. The small house has a cozy cabin feel; the garage and attached shed provide a place for your toys; but, the true gem is the land itself. Black Creek meanders through the property, bringing trout fishing to your own backyard, and a pond lures in additional wildlife. A mixture of open pasture, hardwoods, and cedar lowlands create abundant biodiversity for a property of this size. Many highlights from the original homestead remain including an orchard and chicken coop, while a seed starting greenhouse, small grape vineyard, and 25 100-foot garden beds remain from the market garden. High speed internet is available, and the property is on a road maintained year-round by Alger County -- so accessibility is never an issue! Check out this property loaded with potential to get one step closer to your dream.
