Three different 10-acre hardwood parcels in one of Northern Michigan's premier outdoor recreation areas. Located next to the Tunk Hole Manistee River Access Site and less than one mile from the Backwaters Boat Launch, this property offers incredible access to fishing, boating, kayaking, and year-round adventure. The land is fully wooded with mature hardwoods, giving it a beautiful natural setting and excellent privacy. Electric is available at the road, making future cabin or campsite development much easier. Tippy Dam is just a short walk through the woods, putting world-class salmon and steelhead fishing practically at your doorstep. The property also sits directly on Michigan's snowmobile and ORV trail system, allowing you to ride for miles right from your own land. Whether you're looking to build a cabin, establish a hunting camp, create a weekend getaway, or invest in recreational property, this parcel offers a hard-to-find combination of privacy, accessibility, and outdoor opportunity.
