Home For Sale

WATERFRONT FARM ON THE CHOCOLAY RIVER in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This beautiful farm in Marquette County is unequaled in scope and quality. This is an exceptional tract of 370 acres contiguous land with Chocolay River frontage within 12 miles of Marquette. The property fronts on Mangum Road in Chocolay Township with a 1/2 mile improved driveway winding through open fields to the homestead for maximum privacy. Here you will find a stately 2 story Farm House with good bones in a setting with a large, open yard. This picturesque setting also has Apple Trees, a 100 + year old log barn with an attached fenced area and several outbuildings. Included is a newer heated garage, newer heated workshop, and an older garage perfect for storage. The home needs extensive renovation but has many features such as a full basement, new forced air furnace and hardwood floors. For services there is a newer septic system. The water is an old point well located in the barn that works but a new drilled well should be in the new owners plans. The homestead is supplied with line electric and propane. Further enhancing the setting is a nearby pond with an aerator and a small feeder stream that flows into the Chocolay River. The river is accessed via an old railroad grade from the homestead site. This is beautiful rolling, tillable land around the homestead. There are ample wetlands on the property to the north where the river spreads into small streams and is joined by the Le Vassuer Creek reforming the famous Chocolay River again that eventually flows into Lake Superior just a few miles away. This mix of rolling fields, woods and wetlands with streams, ponds and rivers is a wildlife mecca. Deer, turkey, grouse, watefowl and snowshoe hare frequent the property. The Chocolay River is known as a good trout fishing river. This general area is also good for waterfowl habitat. Where can you find a large acreage tract with buildings, good infrastructure, extensive water features and tillable fields within minutes to the city of Marquette? This could be a very special place for your future.
