Nearly 500 acres. One extraordinary/rare opportunity Northern Michigan property to own an expansive recreational retreat offering remarkable privacy, water, wildlife & established improvements—all approximately 15 minutes from the City of Cheboygan. The property encompasses a diverse natural ecosystem where the headwaters of Green Creek begin, complemented by two duck ponds, wetlands/swamp, mature woods & open areas that create exceptional habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. 5 established deer blinds, miles of well groomed trails plus a dedicated skeet field with NEW skeet hut make this an outstanding setting for hunting, shooting sports & recreation. Three newer pole-barn-style structures create an impressive & highly functional base camp. The main building features a spacious furnished living, dining & kitchen gathering area, plus sleeping quarters with four bunk beds. Additional buildings offer multiple garage/storage bays, a heated office/flex space, large storage room & extensive covered areas ideal for vehicles, boats, ATVs & recreational toys. Well & septic are in place, while solar & propane provide comfortable off-grid living, including propane lighting within the home. Furnishings & cabin décor are included, allowing the next owner to begin enjoying the property immediately; equipment is excluded from the sale. Automatic gate with additional gated access points secures the area and seasonal road. With its extraordinary acreage, varied terrain, water features, wildlife habitat & existing infrastructure, this is a rare opportunity to establish a private family compound, premier hunting & recreational retreat, or generational Northern Michigan landholding, surrounded by protected land and hunt clubs can quickly make this 500 acres feel double in size. Current caretaker lives very close by and would love to stay on.
