This large acreage hunting and fishing property is found just 10 miles north of Iron River, Michigan. 1,052± acres of gorgeous rolling land with great access where the privacy is phenomenal and the entire property is beyond turn-key. To add to its attributes, it borders the Net River for over 6,300 feet on its east side, and over 3,800 feet on the Paint River on the west side. Power is supplied by two Kohler generators and large solar panels that keep the new batteries well-charged. Under normal conditions the generators are not needed for a number of days, but when needed they start immediately and refresh the batteries in a short period of time. The generator shed is spacious and well-appointed for the job. A driven well provides the water, the septic system is in place, and STARLINK provides tremendous connection for everything needed beyond your property.

The lodge measures 4,887 square feet, with approximately 2,219 square feet on the upper level and an additional 2,668 square feet of living space on the lower level. The lodge has 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, very large entertainment areas on each floor, a 2-car garage on the lower level, a utility room with washer and dryer, a beautiful sunroom that overlooks the valley to the south, a large kitchen, dining area and beautiful fireplace. In addition, a 42’ X 30’ storage building will hold your equipment and toys (two- 12’ X 12’ overhead doors), there are three 1,000-gallon LP tanks, and a guest home (formerly the caretaker’s home).

The trail system throughout the property measures an estimated 35 miles in length, so access to virtually every part of the property is easy. 50,000 pines, of different varieties, have been planted along with 125 apple trees, there are 12 food plots in place planted with everything that deer love to eat, the largest almost 10 acres and the smallest about ½ acre. This property is a hunting mecca. “The Runway”, as it is now referred to, is approximately 20 acres and is planted in red clover. Take a ride on your UTV and you will be amazed at how well this property has been set up, how many hunters can be supported at once, and how much fun can be had on a large property set up for success

Enjoy 13 Redneck Blinds, 29 tree stands, and 2 ground blinds-everything is in place and ready to provide you with the experience of a lifetime. When the day is done you will find your way back to the lodge to enjoy the comfort of a fire, either inside or outside, and if the weather does not permit being outside, the sunroom allows you to feel like you should put your boots back on and head back out.

As you move through the property, you will realize that corridors have been established to almost force the deer past your blind, the food plots pulling them in for another free meal. Maybe hunting season is not yet open, so don't arrive without gear for fishing two tremendous rivers, the Paint River and the Net River. How many properties have you ever seen that had two primary rivers at its border? In fact, the Paint River also runs for over ½ mile inside the borders of the property, giving you approximately 27 acres on the other side of the river. In total, this property has over 10,000 feet of river frontage to enjoy. Catching fish won’t be a problem here.

Your new property shares 3 miles of border with the State of Michigan and/or US Forest Service land, making the size of your land much larger than it is. And your food plots will continue to do a great job of pulling deer from miles away off that public land. The land is enrolled in the Qualified Commercial Forest Program, not only does it keep your taxes much lower, but sound forest management is in place with this program. It is from logging the right way and at the right time that your land will produce the most. Professional management of land with property of this size is certainly a huge bonus. And when you walk the trails, shotgun in hand, bumping grouse after grouse after grouse, it will become even more apparent just how important it is to create new habitat when the time is right. When the woodcock flight is on, find your way to the edge of the river with your favorite shotgun. Woodcock often follow rivers as they move south in the fall, and it makes for some really fast action fun.

The forest has been maintained extremely well; varying ages of trees provides lots of different ecosystems and lots of places for native wildlife to enjoy and feel comfortable. There are places that are never hunted, the primary bedding areas are left alone. The food plots provide the feed, and the rivers and small ponds provide fresh water.

This property has it all, with a lodge that has 5 bedrooms and 7 baths, large entertainment areas, a sunroom, a storage building and guest house, food plots are in place and planted, apple trees planted and on their way to producing, and miles and miles of nice trails. Then there are the rivers, the Paint and the Net, it is impossible to take a bad picture when you are at the river. The property is Grand in every way. Take the time to discover just how good it feels to drive the trails, walk the edge of the rivers, enjoy the comfort of the lodge and have a cup of coffee or an evening drink in the sunroom. And don’t forget to light a fire, success stories are always better around the fire.
