Yalmer Rd , Skandia, MI 49885(Marquette County)

Outstanding Homestead property has never been offered for sale and has been in the same family since it was settled. Once a family farm, the fields are still open and ready to be reclaimed. Apple Orchards are full of healthy trees and loaded with fruit. Not just a few apple trees, there are orchards on the South side and more on the North side of the road with endless varieties. The property is well known locally as "Lep's Place" in remembrance of the last family member to live at the farm. The forests are absolutely beautiful and diverse with many towering Maples along with other native species. On the South end of the property the land rolls into Lake "Elizabeth" which was named after a family member and has a history of trout being caught according to the seller. These waters eventually flow into the East Branch of Sand River. It is a long narrow body of water rarely visited by humans and very secluded. Whitetails love it here and great big bucks have been harvested. On the North side of the property Lake Superior views are likely, but some trees may need to be removed to take advantage. The elevation here is well over 100 feet higher than Lake Superior. A gorgeous stream which is the headwaters for another branch of Sand River begins from fresh Spring Water right on the property and cascades toward the Great Lake. Power and phone are close by on the road which is plowed year round by the county. Forty acres of the property lies on the South side of the road and 80 is on the North which will protect you from ever having a home or hunting camp directly across the road from you. The seller does not recall any logging ever been done on the property except for removing some trees after a wind storm years ago. Many varieties of colorful flowers dot the fields and the road, probably planted by ancestors with their seeds being spread over decades. This is a very desirable property and being around 30 minutes or so from Marquette or Gwinn this type of property rarely makes it to market. The hunting is great here and the amount of land there is to hunt on is huge. Vast areas of National, State and CFA land which you can enjoy surrounds the property forming a never ending trails and recreation perfect for riding your 4 wheelers, side by sides, mountain bikes or awesome horse riding. Trails here stretch North all the way to Lake Superior and East toward Munising. Also surrounding the property are some of the most spectacular Maple Forests you can ever find. Locally known as "The Forestry" huge tracts of National Forest Land have been held for decades as an experimental forest studied and nurtured. Whether starting your own Homestead, considering farming or a sugarbush, looking for a getaway or to have a great place to hunt there is a lot to offer here. This is truly prime acreage and is one you don't want to miss.
