VERY REMOTE MICHIGAN LOG CABIN ON 40-ACRE WOODED PARCEL FOR SALE! This Property is located in Covington Township, in southwestern Baraga County, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. - The Township was first settled by French Canadians loggers in the 1880s. It was named by its’ first postmasters’ town of origin - Covington, Kentucky. After forestlands became depleted, farming became more prevalent. Swedish and Finnish settlers started arriving in the late 1890s to continue harvesting cordwood and pulp wood, and develop farms for raising dairy cattle and field crops. - There are many cultural and entertainment events held at the Covington Multi-Purpose Building. The large pavilion there provides outdoor activities in the summer and a skating/hockey rink in the winter. A ski hill with a rope tow is enjoyed by people for skiing, sledding, and snowboarding. A Historical Museum downtown has many interesting items about the area. - The parcel being offered for sale is surrounded by Copper Country State Forest Lands and Corporate CFA land for walk in access for hunting, fishing, and trapping, in season. Awesome Black Bear Hunting, as well as Bobcat, Coyote, Racoon, Red squirrel, Ruffed grouse, Varying hare, and Whitetail deer are all available! - The headwaters of the West Branch of the Net River originates close by and passes about a quarter mile to the west of the property. It joins with the other branches of the Net and becomes the Paint River. The Paint flows into the Brule River, then joins the Michigamme River to form the Menominee River. Vermilac Lake, a 622-Acre lake, is only about 3 miles to the northeast, as the crow files. This lake offers clean water, a diverse fishery of feisty Northern pike, as well as Balack crappie, Bluegill, Brown bullhead, Golden shiner, Largemouth bass, Pumpkin seeds, Sunfish, and Yellow perch. Walleye has been planted by the DNR for many years, and Master Angler Entries have been pulled from these waters. Trees common in the area of the parcel offered for sale include Balsam fir, Bigtooth aspen, Black cherry, Eastern hemlock, Eastern white pine, Paper birch, Quaking aspen, Red maple, Red pine, Sugar maple, White spruce and Yellow birch. - The 24 x 28 Log Construction Cabin has a bedrock foundation, a Metal Roof, and Front and Back Covered Porches. The Interior has vinyl floors, a tongue and groove ceiling, and propane lighting. There is a wood stove for heating, as well as an Lp gas heater. The Lower Level includes a Sitting, Cooking and Dining Area, and a ¾ Bathroom. A spiral log stairway leads to a railed balcony, and a 12 x 24 Loft Sleeping Area.
