    What's special

    Rare opportunity to own 14.02 heavily wooded acres with over 1,500 feet of road frontage in the Chain of Lakes Property Owners Association! Offering privacy, natural beauty and plenty of room to create your Up North retreat, this unique parcel features its own private pond, a previously cleared building area and potential for a walkout homesite. A 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch previously occupied the property but was lost to fire and has since been demolished, leaving an established homesite ready for new possibilities. An existing well and septic system remain from the former home; condition is unknown and buyer should verify suitability for future use. Electricity is available at the road, with propane required for gas service. Enjoy the recreational lifestyle that comes with being just a short walk down the private road to Rifle Lake, a beautiful 178-acre all-sports lake reaching approximately 90 feet deep and offering opportunities for boating, fishing and swimming. A DNR-managed public boat launch provides convenient lake access. Even more outdoor adventure is nearby at the expansive Rifle River Recreation Area, featuring thousands of acres of public recreation land, numerous lakes, campgrounds and miles of hiking trails. Whether you're looking to build a year-round home, private getaway or recreational retreat, this exceptional acreage combines a secluded wooded setting, water features and outstanding access to some of Northern Michigan's best outdoor recreation. Bring your plans and explore the possibilities!
