Michigan Waterfront Homes for Sale

Michigan

Michigan is in the upper Midwest and the heart of the Great Lakes region. It has many attractions, famous landmarks, and scenic state and national parks and forests. In addition to the “great ones”, it has about 12,000 inland lakes, 38 deep-water ports, more miles of coastline than any state but Alaska, and more lighthouses than any other U.S. state. Its agriculture features tourist-friendly fare such as cherries, blueberries, peaches, apples, and wine. And its cities include a major metropolis, some university towns, and countless rustic villages. The state is geographically unique, being comprised of two major peninsulas, and it can be further divided into five distinct areas. They are the Upper Peninsula, (known to Michiganders as "The U.P."), Northern Michigan (Big Rapids and Northwards), Western Michigan (along the sandy coast of Lake Michigan), Central Michigan or "Mid-Michigan" and the Southeast or "Downstate".

The Lower Peninsula has the majority of the population (primarily in the south), while the Upper Peninsula, separated by Lake Michigan and a bit of Lake Huron, is mostly rural. Until 1957, the only way to drive from one to the other was to go all the way around Lake Michigan, or take your car onto a ferry. Michigan's economy was previously dominated by the auto industry, but has diversified somewhat as that and other traditional manufacturing industries have moved their facilities elsewhere, and it's beginning to attract more information technology, life sciences, and high-tech manufacturing jobs. Tourism is a growing segment of the economy, focusing in winter on activities in the snow, and in summer on the State's extensive beaches, lakes, and rivers. Hunting, fishing, and sailing are also popular outdoor activities

Michigan 400 Acre Tract 50142898

Lake Linden, Houghton County, Michigan


MICHIGAN 400-ACRE TRACT FOR SALE! This property isolated in Torch Lake Township, in Houghton County, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This is a great recreational area, surrounded by the Torch Lake, the Portage Lake, and Lake Superior. This county lies on the eastern side of the Keweenaw Peninsula, which juts out 75 miles into Lake Superior. You can take a circle tour from this property to find some of the most picturesque scenery that Michigan has to offer. In the fall the Keweenaw area is known for brilliant displays of color created by the special mix of sugar maples, birch and oaks of the northern forests. Brockway Mountain scenic drive near Copper Harbor is a popular tourist destination. There are trails to hike and bike. There are beautiful sugar sand beaches, and blueberry and raspberry picking spots to explore in summer. In the winter there is extreme Back Country skiing at Mt. Bohemia Ski Hill. Just north of Rice Lake Road, via the Post Road, is access to the Gay Trail, a Multi-Use State Trail. No matter which outdoor recreation you are interested in, and no matter which direction you want to explore, this property will be a great spot to start out from! The 400-Acre Tract was owned by various timber companies since the 1900’s. In the 1940’s a severe forest fire burned most of the tract, which created an excellent regeneration of about 150-Acres of aspen. In winter, when other deciduous trees are mostly dormant, quaking aspens are able to keep producing sugar for energy. Deer seek shade from aspen groves in summer. They also consume bark, leaves, buds, and twigs of quaking aspens throughout the year. Ruffed grouse are especially dependent on quaking aspens for food and nesting habitat. About 106 acres of land includes tree species of red maple, sugar maple, yellow birch and ash, with scattered spruce, fir, and white pine mix. About 25-Acres of land has northern hardwoods. Sugar maple, red maple, hemlock, basswood and yellow birch are the most common trees in Michigan’s northern hardwood forests. The McCallum Creek passes through north western parts of this property – This creates a wetland management area of about 128-Acres consisting of a mix of marsh, and beaver ponds. The largest pond is about 3-Acres in size and about 12 feet deep. The waters of the McCallum creek originate just north east of the property being offered for sale, and then flow westerly for about 4+/- miles and empty into Torch Lake. The creek may support brook trout. The ponds are visited by ducks, geese and wildlife native to wetland areas. It is recommended that this area be preserved and protected. The 400 Acres is currently enrolled in the Michigan CFA Program – Their current Owners objectives are to manage the forest tract stands to maximize growth, health, vigor, in conjunction to support recreation, wildlife habitat and watershed protection. There have been turkey, whitetail deer, and bear sightings on this parcel. If a New Owner wants to build a cabin on this property they would need to withdraw a portion of land from the program. - The property is a short drive south of the Village of Lake Linden, which was organized in the mid 1950’s to support local copper mining activities. The County Road bringing you to the forest road is plowed and maintained. The forest road into the property is about 2 miles long, and can be accessed by vehicle in the summer, but is not plowed in the winter, so access would be by snowmobile or tracked ATV type vehicles. There are no public utility lines to this parcel, so a private generator system would need to be installed for electricity. If you are seeking a very private forest tract for outdoor recreation, contact us today!
