Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This 160-acre wooded property is located in Laird Township, in south-central Houghton County, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, offering outdoor recreational opportunities. The property is situated on the northern border of thousands of acres of the Ottawa National Forest Lands. The Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness, a 14,000+ acre unit within the Ottawa National Forest, is approximately 7 miles southeast of the property. The North Country National Scenic Trail, a hiking trail over 4,800 miles long crossing eight states, runs through a portion of the property. About 5 miles to the northeast is access to the 810-acre Prickett Lake, also known as Prickett Dam Backwater, a reservoir created in 1931 by damming the Sturgeon River. A public boat launch site is available on the lake. The Silver Mountain is nearby, featuring an old closed-off mine shaft and some buildings. The mountain is a 1,312-foot tall glacially polished dome-shaped basalt bluff with outcrops of bare igneous rock and 10,000-year-old scars of glacier scour. Cliffs averaging about 75 feet high offer year-round sport, slack lining, trad climbing, and top rope climbing. The Winona/Alston Trail is approximately 4-5 miles to the west for snowmobiling. The Village of Baraga, with grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, motels, and a casino, is about 10 miles away on the shore of Lake Superior, featuring a marina.
