Victoria Rd, Ewen, MI 49925

Discover an exceptional 80-acre tract of secluded, picturesque land offering rugged terrain, spectacular water features, and abundant natural beauty. With nearly 2,000 feet of frontage on the West Branch of the Ontonagon River, the property is also bisected by Gleason Creek and features the impressive Lower Gleason Falls. The terrain varies from gently rolling to very steep, with more than 250 feet of elevation change from the property's highest point to the river shoreline. Steep slopes and drainage areas are home to towering old-growth hemlock and white pine, while the flatter and rolling portions feature a diverse mix of northern hardwoods and aspen. Portions of the timber have been commercially thinned in the past. The property enjoys an exceptional location, sharing borders with Ottawa National Forest to the south, CFA lands to the east and north, and private property to the west. Outdoor recreation and scenic destinations are abundant, with the North Country Trail, Victoria Reservoir and Falls, Porcupine Mountains State Park, Lake Superior, Lake Gogebic, Ontonagon Harbor, and numerous historic mining sites all within the surrounding area. Access is currently available across adjacent CFA lands through either a deeded easement, which is presently accessible by foot or ATV, or a non-easement access permit allowing use of existing gated woods roads. Vehicle access to the property is possible but will require some improvements, including brushing and a stream crossing at Gleason Creek. Adding to the property's appeal, the land is enrolled in the Michigan Commercial Forest Program, resulting in an extremely low property-tax burden. For those seeking a private recreational retreat, hunting property, timberland investment, or simply an opportunity to own a truly unique piece of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this property offers a rare combination of acreage, water frontage, mature forest, waterfalls, and direct proximity to expansive public and private recreational lands.
