About this land
MICHIGAN WOODED 40-ACRE PARCEL FOR SALE! This property is located in Sherman Township, in the Keweenaw County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan - a Township along the Keweenaw Bay's western shore - Near Lake Superior's Hermit Bay. The property is located a few miles north of the once booming Historic Mining Village of Gay. This area was organized in 1898 when the Mohawk Mining Company built a stamping mill on the nearby shore of Lake Superior. It was followed by the building of a second stamping mill built by the Wolverine Mining Company. A Smelter here heated ore to extract copper, which was then stamped into copper ingots. A post office opened in 1904, named for Joseph E. Gay, long associated with mining in the area. Three distinctive tourist Landmarks in the area are the Gay School House, The Mohawk Stamp Mill ruins, and the 256 foot-high Gay Smoke Stack - which is used as a navigational aid... and a fourth, the Popular Gay Bar which was once the home of the Stamping Mill Superintendent. It opened in the 1930's after the mines, the mills and smelter closed and Prohibition was repealed. The parcel has a small tributary of the Tobacco River flowing through its western side. The Tobacco River is 14 miles long. It rises at the outlet of Thayer Lake and flows east, then south to Lake Superior, which it joins near the Village of Gay. The River is a stocked Brook Trout Stream. Lake Superior is the largest fresh water lake in the world! It offers some excellent fishing for black crappie, jumbo perch, northern pike, rock bass, smallmouth bass, tiger muskie and walleye and it offers good Coho salmon and Rainbow trout catches. About 31 Acres of the property consists of Woody Wetlands - Woody Wetlands usually have trees such as tamarack, cedar, or balsam fir; a hardwood swamp usually has trees such as red maple, black ash, American elm, or balsam poplar; and shrub swamps usually have shrubs such as tag alder, willows, or red osier dogwood

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
