Tucked deep in the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, this secluded 35-acre retreat is the kind of property outdoor enthusiasts dream about. Surrounded by towering mature timber, natural wildlife habitat, and the peaceful sounds of the Upper Peninsula, this property offers privacy, beauty, and endless potential in one unforgettable setting. Whether you are looking for a hunting camp, a quiet off-grid getaway, or the foundation for your future UP vacation home, this property is ready for someone to take over and bring the vision to life. The structure has already had some improvements started, including rough-in plumbing, with a sink and toilet installed. Ready for a future bathroom installation and Romex electrical run throughout to be connected to the existing generator setup. Inside, the antique stove with wood-burning feature adds character, warmth, and classic Northwoods charm. Access is by privately owned road, helping preserve the secluded setting and limiting outside traffic, with neighboring owners currently working together on road maintenance. Despite the peaceful backwoods feel, you are still within reach of Munising, Escanaba, Pictured Rocks, inland lakes, trails, and year-round UP recreation. Rarely do properties offer this level of privacy, acreage, natural beauty, and opportunity all in one place. Buyer to verify road maintenance, utilities, zoning, access, and intended use.
