Welcome to Rockwell Lodge, a rare opportunity to own nearly 670 acres of pristine Northern Michigan wilderness with a private 40-acre lake at its heart. This secluded retreat in Ellsworth Township, Lake County, combines unmatched natural beauty with extensive improvements, offering endless recreational and lifestyle possibilities. The land is a diverse mix of rolling hills, mature hardwoods, planted pines, wetlands, and elevated ridges overlooking Rockwell Lake—home to largemouth bass, bluegill, and walleye. Abundant wildlife thrives across the property, including whitetail deer, turkey, black bear, and grouse, making it a true sportsman’s paradise.
The centerpiece is the 11,800+ sq. ft. Rockwell Lodge, featuring 10 private hotel-style rooms with fireplaces and balconies, a grand lobby with stone fireplace and beamed cathedral ceilings, conference and dining space for large gatherings, and a full commercial kitchen. Additional accommodations include four rustic camp-style cabins with bunk space and classrooms, and a recently renovated 2,100 sq. ft. residence with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and modern finishes—ideal for a manager’s home or private retreat. Supporting structures include a heated 2,400 sq. ft. maintenance building with carport (2021), storage garage, well house, boat shed, and more.
Outdoor amenities include two permanent docks, a lakeside patio and firepit, walking trails, a gated private entry, and approximately 25 paved parking spaces. Utilities are well-equipped with multiple propane tanks, backup diesel generator, and private well/septic systems. With over two miles of road frontage, including paved access, the property offers flexibility for future use or potential land divisions. Whether envisioned as a private family estate, corporate retreat, hunting and fishing lodge, or conservation legacy property, Rockwell Lodge offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own one of Michigan’s most unique large-acreage retreats.

Realmo Value Estimation
Realmo estimates a property’s market value using a proprietary methodology that incorporates public data and user-submitted information. This cumulative value is generated by integrating a variety of conventional and innovative methods.
Disclaimer
These figures are not official appraisals and should not be used as a substitute for a valuation performed by a licensed appraiser.
Actual market value may differ due to factors not captured in the data. Estimates are offered for informational purposes only, and users should conduct independent research before making financial or investment decisions.
By using this feature, you acknowledge that Realmo is not responsible for actions taken based on these estimates.
AI approach
Realmo AI Method estimates property value using machine learning models trained on millions of comparable listings, transactions, and market signals. It analyzes property features, location intelligence data, and current market dynamics to predict the most probable market value in real time.
Cap approach
Capitalization Method calculates value based on estimated net operating income (NOI) and applying a market-based capitalization rate (cap rate), we estimate what a typical investor might be willing to pay for it.
Comparable approach
Comparable estimate is based on recent sales of similar nearby properties, adjusted for factors like size, condition, and location.
Relative
Relative property class coefficient uses factors that account for typical price differences between various asset types (e.g., retail vs. industrial) to provide a more accurate market-aligned estimate.
Geo
Comparable Sales Method, enhanced by Geo coefficients — location-based adjustment factors that reflect differences in price levels
across neighborhoods, cities, or regions ensuring a more accurate, market-sensitive valuation.
Alternative use
Estimate considers the property’s potential value if used for a different purpose-based on zoning, demand, and market feasibility.
