Upper Peninsula seclusion in lower Michigan at a discount price. This is the ultimate off the grid experience. Embark on your journey via canoe. In about 45 minutes you will arrive at the first of 3 parcels. The river landscape is jungle like and you will not see another structure. Most of the surrounding parcels are state forest. There is a small rustic cabin you can call camp. Its right on the rivers edge. A generator is included and gives you the light and electric you need to make a comfortable outing. A hand well pump gives you water and of course a wood stove takes the chill out of the air. Its cozy and perfect for hunting camp with family and friends. Wildlife everywhere. The deer hunting is great. There may be some different access opportun ities that would give the new owner a bunch of upside potential if you can make it work.
