Located near thousands of acres of state land, with a convenient nearby restaurant, gas, and access to ATV/Snowmobile trails, this is a truly RARE opportunity to own a private riverfront retreat or full-time home on the sought-after Flies Only Au Sable North Branch abounding in Northern Michigan recreation opportunities! The subject property is in Crawford County (Lovells Township) along one of the most historically important trout-fishing sections of the North Branch. Michigan DNR identifies the North Branch as a top-quality brook and brown trout stream and notes that the river is less heavily fished and has little canoe traffic compared with the Main Au Sable. The flies-only section begins at the Sheep Ranch Public Access above Twin Bridges and continues approximately twenty-one miles downstream to the mouth. The Lovells-area portion is particularly well suited to wading.
