Escape to your own piece of Michigan's wilderness with this remarkable 160-acre Sand Lake property that perfectly balances remote tranquility with convenient access to Upper Peninsula adventures. This impressive estate spans two 80-acre parcels in Onota Township, where 700 feet of peaceful lakefront creates a stunning backdrop for your northern Michigan dreams. Sand Lake's clear waters are home to excellent populations of northern pike, bass, and walleye, making this an angler's paradise right at your doorstep. The diverse landscape showcases mature hardwood forests rich with wildlife, from majestic moose to whitetail deer, while open meadows and rolling terrain provide endless possibilities for development or conservation. With abundant deer populations and varied habitat, this property would make an exceptional deer camp for serious hunters seeking their own private hunting grounds. Strategically positioned off Sigan Road with seasonal access that maintains privacy yet keeps you connected, you'll find yourself just 20 minutes from Marquette and 30 minutes from Munising, plus minutes from Trail #417 for year-round recreation. The property's natural timber stands offer both beauty and potential income, while the lake's productive waters promise memorable fishing seasons and peaceful wildlife viewing from your own shoreline. With utilities accessible and legal access secured, this versatile acreage stands ready for whatever vision you have in mind - whether that's a secluded family compound, a legendary deer camp, a sportsman's paradise combining world-class hunting and fishing, or simply a wise investment in Michigan's increasingly rare large waterfront parcels. Here, the rugged beauty of the Upper Peninsula becomes your private retreat, where every season brings new adventures right outside your door.
