665± acres with Off-grid camp & pole barn | $499,000
665± acres, an established off-grid camp, a 30' x 48' pole barn, miles of trails, and the kind of privacy that is hard to find but easy to enjoy. Located in Luce County, west of Newberry and near McMillan, this is a substantial recreational holding that has been thoughtfully improved and maintained for year-round use.
The camp sits just off County Road 442 behind two gated entrances, tucked into the woods with a natural buffer from the road. Built in 2010, the 24' x 20' cabin is warm, comfortable and efficiently laid out, with knotty-pine finishes, a vaulted bunk and dining area, additional sleeping space, and a 12' x 12' loft. A 35,000 BTU direct-vent propane wall furnace provides dependable heat, while a solar-charged EcoFlow power station supplies quiet off-grid electricity through the cabin's conventional 120V wiring. A Honda generator provides backup power and can also recharge the EcoFlow when needed. A hand-pump well, propane cooking range, owned 330-gallon propane tank, outhouse, and portable shower with on-demand propane hot water round out a practical camp setup designed to be enjoyed rather than constantly worked on.
Nearby, the 30' x 48' pole barn, built in 2015, provides serious storage for the equipment that comes with owning and enjoying a property of this size. The barn has a gravel floor, 8' x 10' and 10' x 12' overhead doors, extensive built-in shelving, solar-powered interior lighting, and a solar-maintenance charging system.
From the camp, approximately two miles of established trails extend into the property and can be traveled by ATV, side-by-side or snowmobile, with more than half suitable for a conventional 4x4. The farther south you travel, the more remote the property becomes. Access transitions from maintained woods roads to more seasonal routes and ultimately foot travel in some areas, a fitting reminder of just how much country is contained within this ownership.
The land itself offers a broad mix of habitat. A professional forest-management plan identifies lowland mixed forest, cedar and other lowland conifers, northern hardwoods, white pine, spruce, young regeneration and wetland habitat. Approximately 58 acres were regenerated through a 2014 timber harvest and now carry a young mix of red maple, spruce, balsam fir, paper birch and aspen; valuable cover for wildlife and a different age class within the larger forest.
Nearly all of the acreage is enrolled in Michigan's Qualified Forest Program, providing substantial property-tax advantages, transferable to the next owner without the public use requirement associated with CFA lands.
This is not 665 acres of identical ground, and that diversity is part of what makes it interesting. Higher, drier ground surrounds the camp and improvements, while substantial portions of the ownership transition into the lowland forest and wetland habitat characteristic of this part of the eastern Upper Peninsula.
Two established openings add another dimension to the property, including an approximately 3/4-acre former food plot surrounding an elevated hunting blind and another roughly 1/2-acre opening. Additional stands, feeders and sunny areas along the trail system provide options for someone interested in expanding the hunting setup.
Through the southern portion of the ownership, Red Creek and its associated drainages add another layer of wildlife habitat before ultimately connecting into the Tahquamenon River system south of the property.
And wildlife here is more than a talking point. The owners' trail cameras and years on the property have documented an impressive mix that includes moose, black bear, bobcat and deer, along with grouse, snowshoe hare, fisher, marten, porcupine and abundant birdlife.
The property has been enjoyed in every season; hiking and riding the trails in summer, hunting and exploring in fall, and snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing when winter settles in. Clear nights, deep snow, changing fall colors and the sheer quiet of hundreds of acres have all been part of the experience here. Newberry and Curtis remain within a short drive when supplies, a meal, fuel or civilization are wanted, while extensive ORV and snowmobile opportunities and numerous lakes and rivers are accessible throughout the surrounding area.
For a buyer who wants room to explore, hunt, ride, manage timber, watch wildlife and have a large holding in the UP that can still feel genuinely remote, this is a rare package.
