About This Property

Situated just minutes from Houghton, this unique offering includes approximately 6.01 acres accessed via a private easement, along with a separate 20-foot-wide lot on Portage Lake. Each parcel has its own tax identification number. A drilled well was verified to be operational by the well driller in 2025, the water was not tested at that time. The property features an approximately 950-square-foot barn with what appears to be a roof in good condition. Inside is a loft accessed by a steep ladder. The electrical system will likely require updating, the structure offers potential as storage or as starting point for a small camp or future home. The building site itself is relatively level and enjoys an attractive setting with a scenic drop-off along one side and a view of Portage Lake. A small pond is located along the driveway and may offer potential for cleanup or expansion, subject to applicable environmental regulations and approvals. The separate Portage Lake parcel is believed to be not buildable. The waterfront is accessed via a 6 ft bank. The shoreline is rocky. There is a lot of sand present in the water and has a gentle drop off. A non-motorized recreational trail cuts through it making it an enjoyable setting for walking, running, and biking. Conveniently located less than 3 miles from Portage Lake Golf Course, approximately 3.5 miles from Nara Nature Park with its skiing, hiking, and mountain biking trails, and under 5 miles from downtown Houghton, this property offers an excellent opportunity for a vacation property or a build site.
