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

Private 10 Acres on Inland Lake in the U.P. 50199411

Michigamme, Baraga County, Michigan


Upper Peninsula Private Lake Lot For Sale Lot 7 is a beautiful 10-acre wooded parcel that offers 300 feet of frontage on one of the Upper Peninsula’s most pristine and private lakes. Tucked along the quiet shoreline of this spring-fed, crystal-clear lake, Lot 7 provides the rare opportunity to own a piece of wilderness where privacy, natural beauty, and environmental stewardship come together. The lake itself is a secluded gem — known for its deep, cold waters, numerous bays and coves, and the unspoiled forest that surrounds it. With protective covenants in place, limits on motor size, and designated quiet hours, the lake remains peaceful and undisturbed. Jet skis are prohibited, ensuring that the shoreline stays calm for paddling, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The fishery is exceptional, with Rainbow and Brown trout, Yellow perch, and trophy-sized Smallmouth bass thriving in its clean waters. Lot 7 is one of a limited number of parcels around the lake, intentionally planned to minimize human impact and preserve the habitat for moose, bear, deer, loons, and eagles that call this land home. The property features a mix of mature hardwoods and evergreens, with gently rolling terrain that offers several potential building sites. Along the shoreline, you’ll find a blend of cedar, pine, and natural openings that provide easy access to the water. The frontage includes areas ideal for wading into shallow water as well as deeper sections perfect for swimming or launching a canoe. The setting is quiet and secluded, with views across the lake toward forested shoreline and untouched natural landscape. Nearby are two State Parks, and the property is just an hour’s drive from Marquette, where you’ll find dining, shopping, and medical services. Sawyer International Airport offers convenient flights to major U.S. cities, making this a perfect retreat that still remains accessible. For those seeking true Northwoods solitude — with protected waters, abundant wildlife, and a private lake experience that is increasingly rare — Lot 7 offers a remarkable opportunity. (Covenants and deed restrictions are in place to protect the environment and property values.) NOTE: ALL OFFERS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY APRIL 15TH. SELLER WILL HAVE SEVEN DAYS TO REVIEW ALL SUBMITTED OFFERS.

160 Acres with Creek and Pond 50191064

Pelkie, Houghton County, Michigan


MICHIGAN WOODED PARCEL FOR SALE! This 160-Acre Wooded Property is located in Laird Township, in south-central Houghton County, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is in the middle of outdoor recreational opportunities in every direction! Thousands of acres of the Ottawa National Forest Lands are located at the northern border of the property. The Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness is a 14,000+ acre unit within the Ottawa National Forest, and is only about 7 miles southeast of the property offered for sale. Here, the 20 foot Sturgeon Falls drops over volcanic outcroppings, and goes through a gorge that is 350 feet in depth and a mile in width. The Sturgeon and Little Silver Rivers and many tributaries have created falls and rapids, oxbows and ponds through these rugged forested lands. The North Country National Scenic Trail, a hiking trail, runs through a portion of the property. The Trail is over 4,800 miles long and crosses eight states, making it the longest of the National Trail Systems. About 5 miles to the northeast is access to the 810-Acre Prickett Lake. This lake is also known as Prickett Dam Backwater, and reservoir created in 1931 by the damming of the Sturgeon River. The lake is about 5 feet deep near the southern end, and about 56-feet deep near the dam on the north end. There is a public launch site for boats on this water body, and it has lots of crappies and bluegills, and walleyes, largemouth bass, perch and northern pike to challenge anglers. The Silver Mountain, one of the most highly scenic "mountains" is close by. During the 1840s and 1850s mining days, prospectors attempted to find a rumored secret silver-lined cave and wall of silver in the area. They didn't find any silver, but evidence of an old closed off mine shaft, and some buildings can be found at Silver Mountain. The Mountain is a 1,312 feet tall high glacially polished dome-shaped basalt bluff. Because this promontory is located in the heart of the Ottawa National Forest, the Civilian Conservation Corps erected a fire tower at the summit to watch over the forest lands below, but that was abandoned when the Forest Service started using airplanes to detect fires. It eventually deteriorated, and was removed in 1971, but the ruined concrete footings of the tower still remain. The mountain has a series of outcrops of bare igneous rock, which on the south side shows numerous 10,000 year old scars of glacier scour. These Cliffs average about 75 feet high - Year round sport, slack lining, trad climbing, top rope climbing is available here! The Winona/Alston Trail is about 4-5 miles to the west, for snowmobiling. About 10 miles away is the Village of Baraga where you will find grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, motels, and a casino. The Village is located on the shore of Lake Superior, so you will also find a marina to launch your “Big Water” boats. If you are seeking a larger wooded parcel in the Upper Peninsula, check this one out! NOTE: The parcel is enrolled in the Michigan CFA Program. Benefit To the Owner: This Voluntary Program provides a tax incentive to landowners to retain and manage their forestland for long-term timber production and to provide foot access to the public for hunting, trapping and fishing. CF Landowners do not pay ad valorem general property taxes. Instead, CF landowners pay a specific tax. The CF specific rate for 2022-2026 is $1.35 per acre annually. No buildings or improvements (including trailers, motor homes, permanent hunting blinds, utilities) are allowed. If an owner wants to build a structure in this property, an area for this purpose can be identified, and the landowners may withdraw that area by submitting an application, application fee, and pay a withdrawal penalty.
