79.3 ACRES + OFF-GRID CABIN | YOUR U.P. ESCAPE IS WAITING Some properties are measured in acres. This one is measured in adventures.Tucked away on 79.3 wooded acres in Waucedah Township, this Upper Peninsula retreat is the kind of place you go when you want to trade traffic, schedules and screens for towering trees, wildlife and some good old-fashioned peace and quiet. Made up of two contiguous parcels, this property offers so much more than acreage. Explore mature woods, varied terrain, rock outcroppings, elevated bluff views and a small creek winding through the property. Deer, turkey, bear and other wildlife have been seen in the area, creating an appealing setting for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. And tucked into the woods is your own rustic off-grid cabin. Warm wood interiors, a wood-burning stove, kitchenette area, sleeping nook and loft provide a cozy home base after a day in the woods. Step outside onto the deck, look out across the surrounding forest and remember what quiet actually sounds like. A nearby outhouse completes the traditional U.P. camp experience. There is no electricity or running water at the cabin, and that is part of the experience. Come here to unplug. Hunt your own land. Hike through the woods. Follow the small creek. Explore the bluff. Sit beside the wood stove on a crisp fall evening and leave the rest of the world behind for a while. Located off Burgess Backwater Rd, access transitions from blacktop to gravel as you make your way toward the property. The Sturgeon River and Bergen Backwater area are nearby, adding even more outdoor recreation to enjoy. Property does not have Sturgeon River frontage. The existing cabin driveway utilizes a prescriptive easement across a short portion of neighboring property. Whether you are looking for hunting land, a recreational retreat, family camp or simply a substantial piece of Michigan's Upper Peninsula to call your own, this is one you will want to experience in person. 79.3 acres. A cabin in the woods. A small creek. Big bluff views. And a whole lot of U.P. wilderness. Come for the land. Stay for the quiet.
