Access to the property is easy, located just 1/2 mile from the maintained and mostly paved county road.

Additionally, a spacious pole barn is available for storage of equipment and recreational gear, ensuring all your outdoor adventures are just a step away. The property is situated within a picturesque forested landscape, featuring high-quality riparian areas and diverse flora and fauna Jack in the Pulpit and Cranberries as reported by previous owner. The lakes are surrounded by a floating bog mat and vibrant northern Michigan plant species, offering both beauty and ecological significance. This property is not only a perfect retreat for outdoor enthusiasts but also a great investment opportunity. Private lakes with acreage are hard to come by, especially with a lovely cabin and easy access. Don’t miss your chance to own and enjoy this exceptional property! There is a full description of the solar power available by request. All contents come with the camp! You'll be ready to stoke up the fire and spend a weekend!!! This really is a very special spot and the access is so much easier than most off the grid locals.
