Land for Sale in Rapid River, Michigan

The advertised price does not include the entire 63+ acres, commercial shop, and cell-tower interest. The seller is offering flexible acreage and property configurations based on the buyer's needs. Final acreage, frontage, improvements, access, cell-tower interest, and purchase price will depend on the configuration negotiated between buyer and seller. Up to 63+ acres of recently rezoned commercial property may be available near Rapid River, including approximately 3,200 feet of frontage along US-2/US-41 and more than 1,400 feet on Bay Shore Drive. This rare property offers exceptional visibility and potential access from two Class A roads. According to 2025 MDOT traffic data, the divided US-2/US-41 highway adjoining the property carries approximately 17,700 vehicles per day combined. This is an unusually high traffic count for a property of this size in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and offers valuable exposure for commercial or investment development. The commercial zoning presents possibilities for a wide range of uses. Potential concepts may include a travel center or fuel station, hotel, storage development, solar project, campground, equipment-related business, or a larger mixed commercial development. All proposed uses, highway access points, easements, and development plans are subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and governmental approvals. The extensive frontage creates the potential to plan access, internal roads, or shared-use routes connecting US-2/US-41 and Bay Shore Drive. Natural gas and three-phase power are available along the roadside, and a UPPCO electrical substation is located approximately one mile away. Depending on the acreage and configuration purchased, an existing income-producing cell-tower lease may be included. A 40*80 commercial truck shop is also located on the larger property and is currently being marketed separately with approximately five acres. The shop may be incorporated into a larger transaction depending on the buyer's needs and the terms of an acceptable offer. The seller is willing to consider dividing the property into configurations that make sense for the buyer, seller, access requirements, and local zoning. Large commercial parcels are difficult to find. The opportunity to select from this much acreage, highway frontage, traffic exposure, utility availability, existing improvements, and income potential represents a truly uncommon Upper Peninsula offering.
