An older apple orchard is located along the northern-most part of the parcel. Black bear, Coyote, Fox, and Whitetail deer are frequent visitors. One mile away is a main North-South Snowmobile Trail No. 15, and nearby are the Silver River Gorge trails for ATVs, Dirt-Mountain Bikes, and Horseback Riding. This is an area of heavy lake effect snowfall from Lake Superior. The management unit supervises a 988 mile snowmobile trail network. All of this system is groomed and maintained under eight grants to local snowmobile clubs or chambers of commerce. There is one ORV trail on the Baraga plains, and several ORV routes on railroad grades. About 1.5 miles to the south is access to thousands of acres of Copper County State Forest Lands, as well as corporate CFA Lands. Here you can enjoy walk-in access for hunting, trapping, and fishing. Bear, Deer, Ruffed Grouse, and Small Game abound here. The Baraga Plains Wildlife Area is about a half-hour drive to the south, and it is part of 142,900 acres of State owned land. There is a 5,000 acre area of jack pine in the Baraga Plains. Jack pine clear cuts and subsequent regeneration have resulted in large areas of young jack pine. These are attractive to Kirtland warblers, and they have frequently nested here. The State carefully manages these forest lands with 20 year cutting cycles. Three miles to the east is Lake Superior's Keweenaw Bay for boating, swimming, and fishing. The 3 bedroom charming home has hardwood floors, built-in hutch, shelving, and archways. A former Dairy Farm, this property has a 24 x 50 Barn with electricity, a 32 x 42 Barn, and a Sauna with newer deck. Recent upgrades include: new doors (front and back), a room added downstairs in the basement and a DAKA furnace installed, a fireplace insert that heats the upper main room and kitchen, and ceiling fans in the bedrooms.
