On Tahquamenon Truck Trail Road Columbus, MI 49868

Everyone in the UP is familiar with Tahquamenon Falls, but this property is where it all starts. This is your chance to own 395 acres at the headwaters of the mighty Tahquamenon River. This portion of the river does not remotely resemble the wide and dark waters near the falls. On this property, the very beginning of the Tahquamenon River is a clear-water stream flowing out of the Tahquamenon Lakes and is designated as a Type 1 Trout Stream by the Michigan DNR. You’ll have over a mile of frontage on this trout stream along with some small lakes. Access is provided by seasonal County Road 422, which runs generally east/west through the parcel. The Tahquamenon River RDP has a conservation easement in place that is held by the State of Michigan. It is part of The Nature Conservancy's Northern Great Lakes Forest Project. This property is one of a handful of parcels that was specifically set aside and designated for a limited development opportunity. This is your chance to be a part of the historic conservation project known as The Big U.P. Deal. The conservation easement encourages the sustainable use of forest resources, the protection of conservation values, and provides opportunities for public recreation in a manner consistent with forest management and recreation conservation. It allows for the development of one single-family structure with associated outbuildings, providing a unique private ownership experience. This property has 2 pre-designated Privacy Zones to choose from that can be posted as private property where you can build your version of the perfect wilderness getaway. The 2 privacy zones consist of 67 total acres both of which include some of the property’s abundant water features. The residual land will remain open to the public for foot traffic for those to enjoy passive recreational pursuits. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to be a part of the Upper Peninsula's historic conservation heritage!
