6037 whippoorwill road, republic, MI 49879

This very solid and well maintained cabin sits beautifully above a small rapids of the Michigamme River. With about 2800 feet of of diverse river frontage and 44 acres of land this provides excellent recreational opportunities. The 30x50 pole barn has a concrete floor, steel roof, electricity, and water. In addition to your private acreage the property also adjoins commercial forest land and the Republic area is a fantastic recreational location. The cabin has been wonderfully updated over the years and features a full length screen porch on the river side where you can listen to the river over the rocks and watch the wildlife. The cabin has a battery system, a solar system, and a back up generator. The heat is a propane forced air furnace but there is also a central wood stove to save on propane. The cinder block structure is efficient and durable and there is a modern steel roof as well. There is a bluff along the river with a path down the bluff then along the river at the base of the bluff. The river is rapids right in front of the cabin but the majority of the river above the rapids is gentle and calm water. This is a warm water fishery and there is a lot of excitement about bass fishing here. There is deer track all over the property, some bear scat, and I spooked woodcock while investigating the property. There is a good population of oak trees as well as maple and aspens. Many, many large white pine are growing across the property. There is beaver sign along the river and it appears to be good wood duck habitat for additional trapping/hunting opportunities. The adjoining commercial forest has been cut in cycles also creating great habitat and includes additional extensive river frontage. The property is less than 2 miles off M95 for easy access from the North or South. The land across the river is state land and will likely remain undeveloped.
