“You’re going to have your peace and quiet, and some truly beautiful terrain to experience,” said Ted Ottaway, the real estate agent listing the property. “It’s designed to be a luxury hunting camp. I see it more as a wilderness retreat with a main home and a guest house on 80 private acres, which is adjacent to 1,500 acres of state land along the south boundary.”

• Adjacent to 1,500 acres of state land, providing incredible privacy and access to endless trails and hunting opportunities
• 80 private acres on site, offering outstanding terrain for hunting or riding horses
• State-maintained snow and ATV trail along the southern border, perfect for exploring the wilderness

The property is surrounded by a multi-acre clearing that creates a park-like feel, framed by massive hardwoods and a planted red pine forest. The custom fire pit is the ultimate place for family gatherings at sunset.

The homes are built to optimize the sunset with floor-to-ceiling custom Bavarian-inspired windows in the living rooms of both residences facing southwest.

A wilderness retreat is a remote, secluded area that provides a peaceful and serene environment, often with access to outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting, and fishing.

The property is only about a 20-minute drive from the quaint shorefront communities of Cedarville and Hessel, and is also close to the Chippewa International Airport, making it a destination for those seeking a vacation property or a weekend getaway.

“You have the ability to access shops, restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops and other services, and also fly in and out of town close by as well,” said Ottaway. “It’s a great location for those who want to experience the beauty of the Upper Peninsula without sacrificing convenience.”
