FOR SALE: Remote 80-Acre Off Grid Michigan Hunting Cabin – Surrounded by State Forest Land Escape to your own private retreat in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula! Located in Covington Township (Baraga County), this 80-acre off-grid parcel is completely surrounded by Copper Country State Forest—offering unmatched seclusion and direct access to thousands of acres of public land for hunting, fishing, trapping, and wildlife viewing. The state forest lands around the property are actively managed to support both game and non-game species. Timber harvesting enhances habitat, and guidelines preserve key features like den trees, woody debris, and special wildlife habitats. Beyond this, you'll find walk-in access to additional CFA (Commercial Forest Act) lands, greatly expanding your outdoor recreation potential. A tributary of the Murphy River meanders through the northern edge of the property, flowing just a few miles into Vermilac Lake (also called Worm Lake). This 622-acre lake offers excellent fishing for Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, Sunfish, Yellow Perch, and Walleye. It’s known for clear water, no winter kill, and even has a popular local ice fishing derby. Miles of nearby forest roads invite ORV riding, snowmobiling, hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. After your outdoor adventures, return to a cozy 640+ sq ft, solar lighted, off-grid cabin, built approximately 15 years ago. Features include: Open-concept living/kitchen/dining with pine plank floors and walls. 8x18 bunk room on the main floor and 8x8 loft for extra sleeping space. 6x6 ¾ bath with 50-gallon gravity-fed tank and outdoor privy.

Attached to the cabin are two porches—a 4x8 open porch off the living room and a 7x10 covered porch off the bunk room. Nearby, you’ll find a 12x12 “Honeymoon Cabin” with a Jøtul wood stove, perched on a ridge with a peaceful forest view.
