About this land

This exceptional Northern Michigan property offers a unique blend of natural beauty, financial opportunities, and tremendous potential for maple syrup production. At its heart is a mature Sugarbush featuring a large-scale cookhouse built for high-volume syrup processing. While the cookhouse hasn't been used in a number of years, it was left in excellent condition and sits near a pristine, clear, cold-water natural spring. For lodging, the property includes a classic 2-bedroom northern camp with a wood-burning stove, a newer detached garage, and a handy wood shed. The entire property is securely gated with two separate entry points and features an impeccably maintained network of gravel roads. Best of all, a valuable on-site gravel resource lets you source material directly from your own land for easy road maintenance and improvements. The land is smartly split to give you the best of both worlds. Half of the acreage benefits from a forest tax advantage (CFA) to keep your holding costs low, while the other half is completely private land, giving you full flexibility for future development or building. Location-wise, you are just a short distance from the newly revitalized Copper Peak Ski Flying Hill, a world-famous destination getting ready to again host major international competitions. If you want even more space, this Sugarbush property can be purchased alongside an adjacent Lakeshore property. Linked by a convenient 3/4-mile easement, purchasing both creates a massive, connected footprint of roughly 2,100 acres of continuous northern wilderness. The lakeshore property is amazing, with over 2 miles of continuous Lake Superior frontage. It is rare to find a property that has been so well cared for, one that has the potential for financial gains from a number of sources. And though a bit remote, it is very close to town and certainly the airport. Given its attributes, this large tract of high-quality timberland should be considered a wise investment opportunity, and in addition, its fabulous recreational value has to be added. As you use the property for hunting, fishing, ATVing, or snowmobiling, it quietly grows its value every year in the natural way just as northern forests have done since the beginning of time. From one year to the next its predetermined growth can be counted on and can be measured by determining the basal area of the forest. For properties like this Sugarbush acreage, foresters look at the basal area to determine when to thin the forest. Thinning lowers the basal area, giving the remaining top-quality maple trees room to expand their crowns, soak up sunlight, and maximize sap production. And at the same time, the value of the trees increases. Take the time to see the property, to get a feel for it and to walk in the shade of mature high quality growing hardwoods. Almost 3 miles of the Maple Creek flows within the borders of the property which provides fresh water to native wildlife. Hunting includes deer, bear, turkeys, grouse, ducks and woodcock. With a property this expansive, there are many places to establish food plots to pull deer from the surrounding area. You can expect to encounter some old bucks that anyone would be proud to add to a wall and rest assured that some dandy bears can be taken from this region.

Questions to ask before you buy

Good questions for any home near the slopes.

1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
