The 1,092-square-foot main home features one bedroom, one-and-a-half bathrooms, an open floor plan, warm wood finishes, an updated primary suite, main-floor laundry, and screened-in porch spaces surrounded by the beauty of the U.P. woods. A wood stove serves as the primary heat source, with over a year's worth of firewood already prepared, while two propane wall heaters provide supplemental comfort. A separate guest cabin is connected to the solar system and includes a loft sleeping area, bathroom with shower, propane refrigerator, propane stove, and propane heat—offering comfortable accommodations for family and guests. Additional improvements include two 40-foot shipping containers, a greenhouse, established trails, and a beautifully wooded landscape of hardwoods, pines, and cedars. With direct access to the Escanaba River for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, abundant wildlife, and 77 acres to explore, this property delivers an exceptional combination of privacy, recreation, and off-grid living. Located approximately 45 minutes from Marquette, 1639 Bob's Creek Truck Trail offers a rare opportunity to own a truly self-sufficient retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
