About 1133 W Thumb Lake Road
A rare opportunity to own over a mile of pristine frontage along the sought-after West Branch of the Sturgeon River. Tucked half a mile into its wooded interior, this secluded retreat features a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath main lodge, a cozy 1-bedroom guest cabin, and a spacious pole barn—perfect for storing equipment, outdoor gear, and vehicles. An extensive network of trails winds through the property, connecting lush woodlands and strategically placed food plots that attract abundant wildlife. A private bridge provides access to both sides of the river near the main lodge, ensuring convenience and exclusivity. Enrolled in a timber management program, the property is designed to promote sustainable growth, enhance wildlife habitat, and keep taxes low—all while generating income. Adding to its appeal, this section of the river is non-navigable by canoeists, preserving the privacy and world-class fishery that make this estate truly special. Ideally situated in the heart of northern Michigan’s outdoor playground, you’ll enjoy easy access to premier skiing, golf courses, resort towns, snowmobiling trails, and the state's most beautiful lakes. This is a rare chance to own a private slice of Michigan’s great outdoors—an unparalleled sanctuary for nature lovers, sportsmen, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
