1085 N River Drive

Tucked away on 10 private, wooded acres in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this property offers the kind of privacy and seclusion that's getting harder to find-- without putting you hours from town. Located approximately 3.5 miles from downtown Gwinn and 20-25 minutes from Marquette, it's an ideal setting for a recreational retreat, hunting base camp, workshop, or future home or cabin. At the heart of the property is a custom-built two-car garage/shop with a finished loft above. Designed with the U.P in mind, the building features a steeply-pitched metal roof to help shed heavy snow, cedar accents that add warmth and character, and a south-facing roofline that offers an excellent opportunity for future solar if the next owner choose to take the property in that direction. Inside, the fully insulated and drywalled garage has propane heat and a substantial electrical system, while the loft above offers a cozy finished space, complete with flooring, recessed lighting and windows overlooking the surrounding woods. Whether you need space for toys and equipment, a workshop, or simply a comfortable home base while developing the property, much of the hard work has already been done. This beautiful property is an off-gridder's dream, offering exceptional privacy and plenty of flexibility for future development. Septic approval/perc has been completed, and a sand-point well approximately 100 feet from the building has demonstrated water production. Legal year-round access is provided by a county road. 1 mile of the road is not county maintained during winter months but has been historically plowed for winter access. Secluded, private and surrounded by woods and wildlife, this is a property that feels genuinely tucked away while still being close enough to Gwinn and Marquette for everyday convenience. Bring your plans-- or simply enjoy it for what it already is.
