TBD Off Rice Lake Rd, Lake Linden, MI 49945

This 400-acre tract is located in Torch Lake Township, Houghton County, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, surrounded by Torch Lake, Portage Lake, and Lake Superior. The area is known for recreational opportunities and picturesque scenery, especially the fall colors created by sugar maples, birch, and oaks. The property offers access to hiking and biking trails, sugar sand beaches, and berry picking spots in the summer, and extreme back country skiing at Mt. Bohemia Ski Hill in the winter. The Gay Trail, a Multi-Use State Trail, is accessible via the Post Road, just north of Rice Lake Road. The tract was owned by timber companies since the 1900s, and a forest fire in the 1940s led to the regeneration of approximately 150 acres of aspen. About 106 acres feature red maple, sugar maple, yellow birch, and ash, with scattered spruce, fir, and white pine. Approximately 25 acres consist of northern hardwoods like sugar maple, red maple, hemlock, basswood, and yellow birch. McCallum Creek passes through the northwestern part of the property, creating a wetland management area of about 128 acres with marsh and beaver ponds. The largest pond is about 3 acres in size and approximately 12 feet deep. The creek may support brook trout, and the ponds attract ducks, geese, and other wildlife. The 400 acres are enrolled in the Michigan CFA Program, with objectives to maximize growth, health, and vigor of the forest stands while supporting recreation, wildlife habitat, and watershed protection. Turkey, whitetail deer, and bear have been sighted on the parcel. The property is a short drive south of Lake Linden. The county road to the forest road is plowed and maintained. The forest road into the property is about 2 miles long and accessible by vehicle in the summer, but requires snowmobile or tracked ATV access in the winter. A private generator system is needed for electricity.
