Custer Township, MI 49615

There are properties that offer acreage, and then there are properties that offer an escape. Set on 69 acres in Lower Northern Michigan, this exceptionally maintained off-grid cabin offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and true seclusion. Mature hardwood stands of oak and maple blend with red pine, white pine, and cedar throughout the property, creating a diverse landscape that feels distinctly Northern Michigan. More than 1,300 feet of frontage along Cold Creek adds another exceptional element to the setting. The property offers an authentic Northern Michigan experience, with mature whitetail deer, grouse, woodcock, turkey, and abundant wildlife moving throughout the woods and along the creek. From the changing seasons to the wildlife that calls this land home, there is always something to experience beyond the cabin. Tucked within this setting is an impeccably maintained studio-style cabin with a loft and wood stove, providing a comfortable place to settle in and enjoy the surroundings. Solar energy, a 5-inch submersible well, gravity-fed water, and a separate generator hookup provide the infrastructure to enjoy a truly off-grid lifestyle. A private sauna and bathhouse complete the retreat. Whether you're exploring the woods, following the creek, watching wildlife, enjoying the sauna, or simply sitting quietly with nowhere else to be, this is a place designed to help you slow down and disconnect from everyday life. Properties offering this combination are exceptionally rare in Lower Northern Michigan: 69 acres, diverse forest and wetland, abundant wildlife, more than 1,300 feet of Cold Creek frontage, and a thoughtfully maintained off-grid cabin. A truly special opportunity to own a place where the land, the water, and the quiet become part of everyday life.
