Description

VALUABLE FARM ON THE CHOCOLAY RIVER in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This beautiful farm in Marquette County is unequaled in scope and quality. This is an exceptional tract of 520 acres contiguous land with Chocolay River frontage within 12 miles of Marquette. The property fronts on Mangum Road in Chocolay Township with a 1/2 mile improved driveway winding through open fields to the homestead for maximum privacy. Here you will find a stately 2 story Farm House with good bones in a setting with a large, open yard. This picturesque setting also has Apple Trees, a 100+ foot long, 100 + year old log barn with an attached fenced area and several outbuildings. Included is a newer heated garage, newer heated workshop, and an older garage perfect for storage. The home and most of the outbuildings have metal roofs. The home would be beautiful once restored though it is livable as is. For services there is a newer septic system. The water is an old point well that works but a new drilled well should be in the new owners plans. The homestead is supplied with line electric and propane. Further enhancing the setting is a nearby pond and a small feeder stream that flows into the Chocolay River. The river is accessed via an old railroad grade from the homestead site. This is beautiful rolling, tillable land around the homestead. The east side of the river is accessed via a county road that leads to another high rolling tillable field adjacent the river. Essentially both sides of the river have good access. There are ample wetlands on the property to the north where the river spreads into small streams and is joined by the Le Vassuer Creek reforming the famous Chocolay River again that eventually flows into Lake Superior just a few miles away. This mix of rolling fields, woods and wetlands with streams, ponds and rivers is a wildlife mecca. On a recent visit a gobbling Tom Turkey ushered me into the beginning of the property and a mature buck in velvet loped out of the farm yard within sight of the house. This is indicative of the wildlife on the farm. The Chocolay is known as a good trout fishing river. This general area is also good for waterfowl habitat. Where can you find a large acreage tract with buildings, good infrastructure, extensive water features and tillable fields within minutes to the city of Marquette? This could be a very special place for your future.
