I wasn’t going to logo my heavy truck since I really just bought it to haul the camper but after a number of people on social media complained about my “stickers” on the F-150 I decided I had better do it.

I’d like to say this is the first marketing decision I have made out of spite.

I’d like to.

This unique Muskallonge Lake commercially zoned property features a 3bed, 2bath home, a rental cottage, and a former camp store that could be made into another rental, reopened as a store, or any other commercial endeavor. The property has 282 feet of unimproved south facing frontage on Muskallonge Lake, the North Country Trail passes thru the property. Just 1000 yards from the property on NCT is Lake Superior. The home is a nice 3bed, 2 bath home that could use some updating having been vacant for several years. The store has been closed for several years but still has all the shelving and equipment as well as a full kitchen making it easy to convert to a cottage or bunk house. The 400sq ft cottage could be a great income generator with this properties fantastic location. Muskallonge Lake is about 786 acres and is known to be shallow and weedy. It does not get much more than 20 feet deep though much of the lake is around 10 feet deep. It is not known as a quality fishing lake though many folks find it fun as it is known to be over populated with aggressive pike. The lake also has an abundance of bullhead and perch are commonly caught. The lake is mostly undeveloped and is not popular for motorsports making it a quiet place to enjoy the water. There 1000s of acres of state land in the area including miles and miles of Lake Superior shoreline and several small inland lakes. The possibilities are almost endless for this secluded commercial property on one of the most scenic routes in the country. Co Rd 407 is the route between Tahquamenon Falls area and Grand Marais along the shore. $350k

Lodge, 150 acres, lake frontage, great hunting

This lodge sits on 156 acres of diverse habitat as well as 2 miles of water frontage on Lake Winyah at the confluence of 2 large rivers as well as many bayous and creeks. The lodge has been extensively updated and remodeled over the last several years and sits in a beautiful protective cove surrounded by nature. The acreage is level, wooded, and adjoins state land. The property goes from high and dry hardwoods and pines to thick alders and pines to bayou and diverse wetland habitat. The owner has planted over 120 apple trees in the last several years. The property has good white tail and bear. The property also has some amazing duck habitat. This is the most grouse I have seen on a property in the Lower Peninsula. I have also encountered woodcock here. The lake is 1530 acres and is mostly shallow outside of the river channels and near the damn. The whole lake is excellent fishing and has been stocked with Muskie and Walleye regularly. This could be one of the most under appreciated fishing lakes in the Lower Peninsula. The property sits where the North and Main Branches of the Thunder Bay River come together allowing for boating or paddling up either river. This is an excellent multi-species and multi-sport camp. in addition to the lodge there is also a small trappers cabin in functional condition and an RV hookup. $550k

Cabin, 250 acres, on grid, river frontage

This very secluded and private on-grid cabin and acreage offer everything an outdoorsman could want. The cabin sits on an island connected to the mainland by a bridge. The 250 acres adjoin state land and include two miles of frontage on Lake Winyah and the South Branch of the Thunder Bay River. Right now, the property is most easily reached by boat, though there is an undeveloped easement that provides another access option. The land consistently produces quality whitetail deer, along with bear, grouse, and excellent duck hunting. There are also plenty of furbearers throughout the area. Lake Winyah is one of the most underappreciated fishing lakes in the Lower Peninsula. It’s regularly stocked with muskie and has also been stocked with walleye. The lake offers great bass, pike, and panfishing. Part of the property, along with the surrounding state land, creates some of the best wood duck habitat around. The shallow bays and winding river make this lake an incredible place for paddling and fishing. $450k

1bed, 1bath, Lake Gogebic

One of my showings today was this cute little, very little, Lake Gogebic cabin. I think the marketing term is “efficient.” Almost 700 sq ft, loft bedroom, full kitchen, and a 2 car garage. This isn’t one of those shed cabins, it is frame built, all season, and on a block foundation. It is clean and modern. If you just want a basic functional walleye camp this might be for you. The agent is a non-realtor out of Wisconsin so I’m not sure how I’ll get you a data sheet but if you are interested I’ll figure it out. $250k

This is twice in one week I have had to make an unexpected last minute run to the western UP to help buyers after another real estate agent blew them off. I don’t mind but last minute can make the logistics challenging!

But it does get me a little time on one of the more popular lakes in Michigan.

This multi-sport recreational cabin sits in a great central location, near state land and Lake Huron, and directly on Snow Trail 996. The area is popular for its uncrowded natural surroundings and slower pace of life. The cabin is off-grid and situated on a maintained road, with little development in the area providing a quiet and relaxed setting.

The cabin features a bunk room with a half bath, along with a common area that includes the kitchen and dining areas. A covered outdoor area adds additional functional living space. There is also a wood storage shelter, shed, and outhouse. The cabin operates off a generator and has propane hookups for a refrigerator and range.

The property is less than a mile from state land and less than a mile from Lake Huron. A boat launch providing access to Lake Huron is approximately 3 miles away, with a deeper launch about 5.5 miles away. Hoeft State Park is 6 miles away, and Rogers City is approximately 10 miles away.

This is a great and affordable option for anyone looking to enjoy a variety of multi-sport outdoor adventures in a quiet Northern Michigan setting. 1 acre. $75k
