Turnkey Hospitality Business on 168 Wooded acres. A rare opportunity to own an established, income-producing hospitality property in the heart of Northern Michigan--or to claim 50 heavily wooded acres as a private retreat surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. Sitting directly across from the Manistee National Forest--roughly 840 square miles with 330+ miles of trails for hiking, ORV riding, and hunting--the property currently operates as a private residence while generating over $40,000 annually (per seller) from four established glamping sites and a distinctive two-bedroom shipping-container home. The year-round custom yurt offers additional untapped income potential. Infrastructure is already in place for a campground, lodging, or glamping operation, and Dover Township has no zoning--leaving the door wide open for continued use or expansion. Improvements include the large year-round yurt; the two-bedroom container home with a hot tub; a modern bathhouse; four furnished glamping tents; a 30x48 pole barn; and livestock pens. More than five miles of private trails wind through the property, with power supplied by a thoughtful mix of traditional electric service and a renewable solar system. Outdoor recreation is limitless. Direct access to ORV trail systems, and the Pine River--world-class fly fishing, kayaking, and scenery-- lies less than a mile away, with the Little Manistee River nearby for additional fishing and paddling. Existing infrastructure, established income, and unrestricted zoning make this a genuinely rare offering. Bring your business plan, or simply your desire for solitude.
