Discover an exciting opportunity in the heart of Ontonagon County's storied Lake Mine area. Steeped in rich mining history dating back to its founding in 1840, this region offers a unique glimpse into the past, with initial mining efforts commencing around 1848. This property features a charming 19th-century home with approximately 680 square feet of living space. Although the house shows signs of its age, it retains original-looking siding, windows, and an abundance of character with old wallpaper and vintage personal property. The back addition is in need of removal, and the house could benefit from a new foundation. It is protected by a metal roof. Behind the home, you'll find an outhouse and a natural spring that offers potential for creating a pond. The land rises dramatically, about 150 feet in elevation, culminating in a stunning bluff with panoramic views of distant ridgelines. The property is adorned with numerous mature white pines, oaks, and maple trees, creating a spectacular setting. A creek and a gully enhance one corner of the land. Directly adjacent to the property are over 600 acres of State of Michigan-owned land. Direct access to ATV and snowmobile trails off the backside of the property. It's also a short drive to Mass City for amenities. There are excellent cabin spots on top of the ridge saddle or at the peak, where the terrain could likely accommodate a winding driveway. In spring, the woods are dotted with thousands of beautiful great white trilliums, adding to the property's natural charm. This unique parcel is accessible for viewing only with permission. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history and create your own legacy with this fantastic parcel of land.
