Property Description
MICHIGAN'S UPPER PENINSULA - WOODED 240-ACRE RECREATIONAL PARCEL FOR SALE! This property is located in Onota Township which lies along the southern shore of Lake Superior. Because of its vast forests, Onota Township has a rich history in producing lumber for buildings and charcoal manufacturing (for smelting iron ore). Much of this work was done in the early days by Scandinavians. The property consists of two parcels. The Southern parcel is made up of 12 Acres of Woody Wetlands and 68 Acres of Mixed Forest. The Northern parcel is made up of 80 Acres of Mixed Forest, Shrubs, Grassland and 80 Acres of Woody Wetlands. The area is known for outdoor recreational activities and sites to see. Such activities include the Lakenenland Sculpture Park, Eben Ice Caves Trailhead, Kitch-iti-kipi (Michigan's largest natural spring), Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Bordering the Eastern edge of the property is the Jim Wells Forest, a 440-acre tract that is managed by Michigan State University. From M-94, which runs a few miles south of the property, is access to the 1,728 Acre Laughing Whitefish Lake Preserve. It is located between the Laughing Whitefish Falls Scenic Area and the Hiawatha National Forest. Laughing Whitefish Falls is one of the most spectacular falls in Michigan. The 100-Foot Falls cascades through a long escarpment/gorge with old growth white pine and hemlock towering over it. These areas are great for hiking, snowshoeing, outdoor education, birding, and wildlife viewing. - This Property is enrolled in the Michigan QFP Program: The Michigan Qualified Forest Program (QFP) provides a property tax exemption for private landowners who manage their forests for commercial harvest, wildlife habitat, and other resource improvements. To enroll, parcels must be at least 20 acres and meet specific forest stocking requirements, and landowners must develop and follow a forest management plan. In exchange for managing their property, landowners can receive a significant reduction in their property taxes, primarily by being exempt from the local school operating millage.
