This 480-acre property, located near Old Seney Road in Seney, Michigan, offers a unique opportunity to own four entire lakes within the Johns Lakes complex. Notably, West Johns Lake, totaling 18 acres, was stocked with trout in April 2021. Legal access to the property is provided via easement. The Johns Lakes property is subject to a conservation easement held by the State of Michigan, as part of The Nature Conservancy's Northern Great Lakes Forest Project. This parcel is designated for limited development, offering a chance to participate in the historic conservation project known as "The Big U.P. Deal". The conservation easement promotes sustainable use of forest resources, protection of conservation values, and public recreation consistent with forest management and recreation conservation.
