40 acres of wooded land along North Pine Avenue in Big Rapids, directly adjoining thousands of acres of the Manistee National Forest. Near the road, a modest clearing opens the property, with a drive leading back to the cabin area before giving way to a larger wooded landscape that stretches across the acreage. The finished cabin creates a comfortable base within the landscape, offering a space that currently sleeps four and feels well suited for weekends spent enjoying the surrounding woods and nearby public land. Designed to support extended stays, the cabin includes propane heat, a stove, LP lighting, and air conditioning capability when connected to an inverter system. The roof is also reported to have been replaced approximately one year ago, further supporting the functionality of the existing setup, while additional structures near the cabin area provide added storage and support for recreational use of the property. As the land extends beyond the clearing, the surrounding tree cover creates a more secluded interior that feels removed from the road. The direct connection to the Manistee National Forest expands the reach of the property well beyond its own boundaries, providing access to a much larger stretch of natural landscape. The surrounding area is known for its access to the Pere Marquette River, Muskegon River, and an extensive network of trails and public land, creating year-round opportunities for outdoor recreation throughout the region. Boundaries shown are approximate.
