Land Description
Michigan 60 Acre Wooded Property For Sale. This Property is located in Schoolcraft Township, in the northeastern corner of Houghton County, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Schoolcraft Township was once the site of the largest copper milling operation in North America. This area boomed with lumbering and mining interests. Agricultural and Forested Lands abound. Tourism and recreation are today's most important activities. History buffs will find several historical ruins of mine shafts, and other mining buildings to explore in the area. The property is centrally located in a special area called the Traprock District, which was named for the Trap Rock River Valley and the Trap Rock River which meanders southward along the western boundary of the District, then empties into Torch Lake. Torch Lake is connected to Portage Lake, and then to Lake Superior. A deep lake, it is about 100-Feet deep at its northern end, and is known for big Walleyes, and lots of Northern pike and Smallmouth bass. Sometimes trout and salmon from Lake Superior find their way into the depths of Torch Lake. A short drive from the property to the east will take you past Rice Lake on the way to the shores of
Lake Superior. The Schoolcraft Township Park is a great place to enjoy relaxing. Recreational trails used for snowmobiling, ATV riding, mountain biking, walking, running, cross-country skiing, and snow shoeing are not far away. The property offered for sale is nicely wooded. The last timber harvest was 30-40 years ago. Trees common in the area include Balsam fir, Bigtooth aspen, Eastern hemlock, Northern white cedar, Paper birch, Red maple, Sugar maple, White spruce and Yellow birch. There are trees on this parcel that would be great for maple syrup production. A woods road traverses the property, and a small 1+/- clearing on the western border. Several sites can be identified for building a home or cabin. There is year round access and garbage pick-up along the County maintained and plowed road, along its east side. Power is about a mile away, but cell phone service is excellent. If you are seeking a larger, well wooded, Get-A-Way parcel, schedule a Showing today.
