This 137 acre off-grid retreat for sale in Germfask, Michigan comes with a 2 bedroom, 1 bath main cabin and three more cabins for extra room, all on a private, gated parcel in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The main cabin was built in 1990 and has 900 square feet of living space. It was recently updated with new flooring throughout, a remodeled bathroom, a new tankless water heater, and a new deck and ramp at the front door. A wood stove warms the three season porch, so you can sit out there wrapped in a blanket even after the weather turns cold. Propane runs the wall heat, the water heater, the appliances, and a generator with push button start, so you get the comforts of home without power lines. Most of the furnishings stay, along with the generator and a trail clearing brush hog, so you can start using the place as soon as you close. One of the three extra cabins was newly built and sleeps 8, another has bunks, a small kitchen area, and its own outhouse, and a third sits near the pond. Hunting blinds line groomed grass trails that wind through hardwoods, towering pines, and sugar maples, and the shallow pond gives you a quiet spot to watch the wildlife go by. Trail cameras on the property have caught bear and deer, and the dark sky here means you can actually see the stars at night. The property sits on a year round, county maintained road directly across from state land, so you can head out on a snowmobile or ATV right from your own yard. Seney National Wildlife Refuge, 95,000 acres of marsh and wilderness known for trumpeter swans and bald eagles, is just 3 miles away, and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is about 40 minutes from Germfask. Whether you want a full time off-grid home, a hunting camp, or a place to get away, this Schoolcraft County property in the Upper Peninsula gives you 137 private acres to make your own.

Located in the heart of Blaney Park, youâ??ll find this unique opportunity on just under 8 acres of beautiful high ground meadow, featuring 2 of the original â??Blaney Park Resortâ? cabins, along with a large outbuilding and many other unique historical artifacts to be discovered. The cabins are identical, both featuring double wood burning fireplaces (4 fireplaces total) and a fantastic high traffic with great visibility. Once a premier resort destination in Michiganâ??s Upper Peninsula, Blaney Park was originally developed as a luxurious getaway complete with golf courses, a hotel, and recreation for city dwellers (including Henry Ford). Today, it offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and quiet charm, making it a fascinating spot for those who appreciate the UPâ??s hidden gems. This parcel was an integral part of the Blaney Park experience, the 15 stall horse barn/stable (still existing on site), 2 cabins, and a massive 32x60 storage building. The storage building has fallen into disrepair, but with some hard work and clean up it could possibly be restored to its former glory. Tucked into the back of the property near the stable there are a few other vintage cabins, however these have been overtaken by nature and now just offer a picturesque view on the horizon from the cabins at the road. The property itself needs plenty of TLC and updating, but could be a prime opportunity for an ambitious buyer with a passion for historic charm. The location offers a buyer flexibility in terms of end use, think residential, vacation rental, or commercial, all are possible.
