Ranch Description

Very Rustic Michigan Log Cabin For Sale - Located in south-western Houghton County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This 20x30 log cabin was built in the 1800s, when forests covered the area. When the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railroad reached Kenton in 1889, much of the surrounding white pine forests were cut and shipped out by rail to all parts of the Country. After the logging heyday, the area became settled by farmers, and today is a tourist and hunting destination. The 20-acre property is wooded, and has year-round frontage on Forest Hwy-16. Cross the road, and you will be in part of the 980,000+ acre Ottawa National Forest! The Kenton Ranger District of this Federal Forest is the largest and oldest (established in 1931), and is known for fishing, hunting, hiking, and snowmobile activities. The Big Beaver Creek, a tributary of the East Branch of the Ontonagon River (that flows in Lake Superior) is less than a mile away. Anglers there catch BrookBrown, Lake and Rainbow trout. Sparrow Rapids on this river is about 2-miles to the SW. The main E-W U.P. Snowmo trail No. 8, and the N-S trail No. 107 converge in the Village of Kenton, only 2-miles away!
