Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Iron River Township, Michigan

Tucked away in Bates Township, northern Iron County, this property offers a classic Upper Peninsula camp setting with the privacy, acreage, and recreational opportunities that many buyers are searching for. Surrounded by timber and located in a quiet rural area, the property provides plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors while still being accessible from Martin Lake Road. The camp features a large living area, along with a spacious bedroom and several amenities, including a fireplace, point well, generator, and traditional sauna. The acreage itself is a major highlight, consisting primarily of wooded ground that offers excellent habitat for wildlife and opportunities for hunting, hiking, trail riding, and exploring. Large tracts of privately owned land with an existing camp are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly in an area known for its outdoor recreation, public lands, lakes, and year-round activities. Properties of this size and character rarely come available, making this an excellent opportunity to establish your own basecamp in Michigan's Northwoods. Martin Lake Road is technically seasonal but is privately plowed much of the time. This parcel is just over 1/2 mile from the County plowed road for easy winter access. This location is outstanding for ice fishing and snowmobiling. Lying in the heart of the Ottawa National Forest, there are endless lakes and streams to fish and woodlands to explore. There is a nature trail just west of the parcel and a snowmobile trail just to the south. The Forest on the parcel is a mixture of oak, pine, maple, and aspen with some hemlock pockets. The camp's origins date back to early logging days and there are notes, artifacts, and true history in these walls.
