Residential Land for Sale in Onaway, Michigan
W 638 Hwy, Onaway, MI 49765
(Land Contrats Welcome) Welcome to the Black River - One of Michigan's Hidden Gems This remarkable property offers 3.94 acres with 347 feet of frontage on the Upper Black River, one of the most beautiful and storied rivers in northern Michigan. The land features a high plateau with rolling hills that gently slope down to the riverbank, creating an ideal setting for a dream home or a seasonal camping retreat. The Upper Black River is legendary for its brook trout fishing - a favorite of Ernest Hemingway himself. Catching a 20-inch brookie isn't just a dream here, it's a very real possibility. The soft-flowing waters, combined with high, dry banks, make it easy to launch or land a canoe or kayak for sunny summer days spent fishing or simply enjoying the water. This property is truly special - opportunities to own land on the Upper Black River are rare. Come see for yourself what makes this place so amazing.
