Description

Opportunities to own a large, well-established hunt camp in Michigan’s northeast Lower Peninsula are increasingly rare and this remarkable 244-acre property stands out as one of the finest to come available. Combining a beautifully maintained 1,400-square-foot cabin, a well-built barn-style garage with a finished upstairs game room and a thoughtfully developed trail system leading to blinds, food plots and clearings, this property is ready to be enjoyed on day one. Set in a quiet and secluded location yet conveniently accessible on a paved road, this property offers a true “best of both worlds” lifestyle. The cabin and garage are tucked well off the beaten path, providing privacy and peace, but within only 10 miles you’ll find yourself in Tawas and along the scenic shores of Lake Huron. This prime location places you in the heart of one of Michigan’s most beloved recreational regions, with access to great hunting, fishing, golf, trail riding and the natural beauty of the East Branch of the AuGres River and the famous AuSable River. A property with scale, diversity, and quality At 244 contiguous acres, this tract represents a scale of property that is rarely seen on the market today. The sheer size provides both recreational diversity and the ability to effectively manage wildlife habitat, while its natural features make it a true outdoorsman’s paradise. The land offers a remarkable blend of cover types, timber stands, food sources and water. A diverse mix of poplar, red and white pine, oak and maple trees is interspersed with natural undergrowth, providing both hard and soft mast food sources as well as thick bedding and cover for wildlife. Several well-maintained clearings and food plots are strategically located throughout the property, creating a strong supplemental food base for the robust populations of deer and turkey that already call this parcel home. A unique marsh area enhances the property’s habitat value, serving as both a natural water source and a travel corridor for deer and other game. Hunters will immediately recognize the advantage of these natural funnels, which create ideal opportunities to intercept and ambush deer and turkey as they move across the land. For hunters, the extensive trail system is a standout feature. Carefully established and maintained, the network of trails allows easy access to all corners of the property, linking the various blinds, stands, food plots, and clearings. Whether traveling by ATV, UTV, or on foot, this system provides excellent mobility while minimizing disturbance to the land.

Hunting and Wildlife Opportunities - the hunting opportunities here are as diverse as the land itself. The parcel supports excellent populations of white-tailed deer and wild turkey, offering consistent hunting success for both bow and firearm seasons. Bear and small game are also present, making the property appealing to a wide range of sportsmen. With its size, habitat diversity and food/water resources, the land has the potential to be further managed for trophy-class whitetail if the new owner wishes. Turkey hunters will appreciate the rolling clearings and food plots that draw in birds throughout the spring season, while deer hunters will find ample stand locations along travel routes, food plot edges, and in timber funnels. The marsh area is particularly valuable, offering natural seclusion and drawing deer even during pressured times of the season.

The Cabin - comfortable and inviting at the heart of this property is a well-built, 1,400-square-foot cabin designed to provide all the comfort and amenities needed for extended stays. With a spacious floor plan, the cabin offers a blend of practicality and charm, finished with knotty pine for that classic “up north” Michigan feel that many hunters and outdoorsmen grew up with. The cabin includes: A full kitchen with all the essentials to prepare meals after a day afield. A bathroom with the conveniences of home. Two bedrooms that comfortably sleep up to 8 people. A wood stove that not only warms the cabin but also adds to its nostalgic character. Large panoramic windows that bring the outdoors in, filling the cabin with natural light and offering stunning views of the surrounding woods. Whether used as a traditional hunt camp or as a family retreat, the cabin strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern functionality.

The Garage and Game Room – built for utility and fun, complementing the cabin is a barn-style garage that has been thoughtfully constructed and designed for both storage and recreation. The main level features two bays with a power door, providing ample space for vehicles, ATVs, UTVs, and equipment. Upstairs, the garage opens into a finished game room that has quickly become a favorite gathering spot. With plenty of space for activities, a large balcony overlooking the yard, and a firepit nearby, this space is ideal for evenings spent with family and friends. Whether used for games, storytelling, or simply relaxing after a day outdoors, this finished space adds immeasurable value to the property.

Location – seclusion with convenience. One of the defining strengths of this property is its location. While the cabin and garage are set well back from the road for seclusion, the driveway provides quick and easy access to a paved road. From there, you’re just 10 miles from Tawas and the shores of Lake Huron, where dining, shopping, and lakefront recreation are all within reach. The property is also in close proximity to two of Michigan’s most celebrated rivers: the East Branch of the AuGres River and the world-famous AuSable River. Both are renowned for their fishing, canoeing, and natural beauty, further enhancing the recreational value of this location. Golf courses, trail systems, and other outdoor opportunities in the area make this property not only a hunt camp but a four-season recreational base.

A Rare Opportunity - parcels of this size and quality simply do not come available often, particularly in a region as desirable as northeast Michigan. The combination of 244 acres of diverse habitat, a well-built cabin, and a barn-style garage with finished game room makes this offering truly unique. For hunters, it represents a ready-made camp that can be enjoyed immediately. For families, it offers a private retreat where generations can gather, explore, and make memories. This property also carries investment value. Large contiguous tracts are increasingly scarce, and the recreational market in northern Michigan continues to grow as more families seek places to enjoy the outdoors away from the pace of daily life. Whether kept as a private getaway, developed further as a hunting property, or held as a long-term investment, this tract has enduring appeal.

In summary: This is far more than a hunt camp—it’s a fully established recreational property that blends seclusion, comfort, and opportunity on a scale that is rarely available. With its 244 acres of prime habitat, a move-in ready cabin, a barn-style garage with added recreational space, and an unbeatable location near Tawas and Lake Huron, this property represents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a true Michigan legacy tract.
