Spectacular opportunity to own one of the largest privately held parcels with nearly 1/2 mile of river frontage on the famed Boardman River. Just minutes to Traverse City yet surrounded on 3 sides by thousands of acres of State land for unlimited recreation opportunities. Steel bridge allows foot/ORV access across the river where "Trout rich" 22 Creek meanders through the property. A small cabin at the rivers edge affords dramatic views of the river and serves as a footprint for new construction.
