Discover a rare 8.5-acre retreat overlooking the beautiful Au Sable River. Set behind a gated entrance at the end of a private drive, this peaceful property offers privacy and quiet while still being just 6 miles from Oscoda. Approximately 5 flat acres sit at the top of the propertyâ€"ideal for buildingâ€"followed by a scenic hill that leads down toward the river bottom, where you’ll find about an additional acre near the base. The property has been surveyed, and boundary lines are clearly staked. Towering mature trees, including red pine, oak, white pine, and Douglas fir, create a beautiful natural setting, with established trails winding throughout the property. Five fieldstone firepits are thoughtfully placed across the acreage, each offering its own spot to gather and relax. A well installed in 2024 is already in place, and multiple building sites provide flexibility for your future home or getaway. A stunning overlook captures sweeping river views, with Consumers Energy owning and maintaining the riverfront below for added peace of mind. Wildlife is abundant on the property with bald eagles, deer, and turkey as frequent visitors. A foot trail leads down toward the river, and a nearby public boat launch makes it easy to enjoy exceptional fishing. Just down the road, thousands of acres of state land offer ORV and snowmobile trails for year-round adventure. Whether you’re envisioning a private up-north retreat or a future full-time residence, this one-of-a-kind property offers space, privacy, and natural beauty.
