Property Description
Opportunities like this are nearly impossible to recreate. Set on 34.49 incredibly diverse acres with approximately 2,634 feet of private frontage along the Pine River, this extraordinary Northern Michigan property brings together extensive waterfront, remarkable natural beauty, privacy, and improvements in a setting that truly has to be experienced in person. At the heart of the property stands a custom-built Boyne Falls Virginian Model log home, constructed by Boyne Falls Custom Home Builders on a poured concrete foundation. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the unmistakable warmth and character of a true Northern Michigan retreat, featuring vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, main-level primary bedroom, full basement, and beautiful views of the surrounding woods. Electric service to the cabin is underground, helping preserve the uninterrupted natural character of the setting. The land itself may be the property's greatest feature. The Pine River winds along more than half a mile of the property, joined by three separate creeks that meander through the acreage and feed into the river, along with several natural springs emerging from the hillsides and flowing toward the river below. Rolling hills, ravines, wetlands, river bottom, towering mature timber, and stretches of forest that feel untouched by time create an incredible diversity of terrain, wildlife habitat, and scenery. The owners have spent years thoughtfully caring for the property, doing nearly everything possible to make it accessible and enjoyable without taking away what makes it wild. The woods, waterways, trails, open areas, and improvements have been carefully maintained to complement the landscape rather than overpower it. The result is a property that feels remarkably natural while showing the level of care and stewardship that has gone into it. For the outdoorsman, the recreational opportunities are exceptional. The Pine River is recognized for trout fishing and is a favorite in Michigan
