6051 N Ross Grade Road

Discover 40 acres of prime recreational land in the remote, scenic wilderness of Wells Township, located in the southwest corner of Marquette County in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Just 3.5 miles northeast of the historic village of Northland, this property offers the perfect blend of seclusion, natural beauty, and year round outdoor adventure. The seasonal cabin features an open-concept layout where the living room, kitchen, and sauna share one rustic, functional space. The bathroom is conveniently located within the sauna area, creating a simple and efficient off grid setup ideal for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Three sides of the property border State of Michigan land, providing expansive walk in access for hunting, fishing, and trapping. This region is renowned for exceptional whitetail deer hunting, and also supports thriving populations of black bear, grouse, hare, woodcock, and turkey. Outdoor recreation opportunities are endless—camping, hiking, ATV riding, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing are all easily accessible. A short ride north along Ross Grade to Kates Grade connects you to Trail No. 32, a major east west multi use state trail open to dirt bikes, ATVs, horseback riders, and hikers in summer, and to skiers and snowmobilers in winter. The property is also near Forsyth Township’s GEMS (Grouse Enhanced Management System) area, a specially managed walk in ruffed grouse habitat. Visitors can enjoy both an established access trail and more challenging off trail hunting in the surrounding aspen stands. Several nearby creeks flow east toward the West Branch of the Escanaba River, while the Ford River lies just a few miles south. These waters offer excellent, lightly pressured brook and brown trout fishing, with many stretches being wadable and ideal for fly anglers. Steeped in history dating back to the late 1800s lumber and railroad era, this land remains a quiet, wild escape—perfect for those seeking solitude, adventure, and a true Upper Peninsula experience.
