    What's special

    Two fire pitsGazebo overlooking chief lakeSpacious main lodge
    Discover your own private retreat on the shores of Chief Lake, where approximately 92 acres and 651 feet of lake frontage create an extraordinary opportunity to own a true Upper Peninsula getaway. Whether you're searching for a family estate, corporate retreat, hunting and fishing camp, or a place to gather with generations of family and friends, this remarkable property offers the space and amenities to make lasting memories. At the heart of the property sits a spacious main lodge, complemented by a separate sleeping lodge and bunkhouse, providing ample accommodations for guests while allowing everyone their own space. After a day of outdoor adventure, unwind in the sauna or gather around one of the two fire pits to share stories beneath the stars. Designed with recreation in mind, the property includes two large garages for storing boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, and other outdoor equipment, along with a boathouse located right on the water for convenient lake access. A gazebo overlooking Chief Lake offers the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, watch the sunset, or simply relax while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Additional outbuildings, including a storage shed and woodshed, provide even more functionality. Chief Lake is a private, no-public-access lake known for its excellent fishing, allowing you to enjoy peaceful days on the water with far less traffic than many public lakes. With 651 feet of frontage, you'll have easy access to boating, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and countless days spent enjoying this quiet waterfront setting. Beyond the shoreline, the 92 acres offer endless opportunities to hike, hunt, explore, and experience the privacy and beauty of the surrounding landscape. If you've been dreaming of a place where everyone can come together while still feeling miles away from the rest of the world, this exceptional Chief Lake property delivers the perfect combination of waterfront living, expansive acreage, and unforgettable Up North experiences. The seller is willing to negotiate on personal property and may also consider selling the property with reduced acreage, offering additional flexibility to meet a buyer's needs.
