4531 Alpena State Road Benton Twp, MI 49721

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is in poor condition and will likely need to be torn down to the studs or removed entirely, with a new home built on the existing foundation. The property sits on 2.6 acres and directly adjoins 15,000 acres of state land, including the Black Lake ORV trail. Just 1,200 feet away along a seasonal road and across US-23 is Cheboygan State Park, featuring a Lake Huron beach and a boat launch into Duncan Bay. The park also offers trails, shipwrecks, and lighthouse ruins to explore. While the home is in disrepair and will require significant work, the 30x48 pole barn is in excellent condition (though it will need some cleanout). This property presents a fantastic and affordable opportunity in a prime recreational location. The home was placed in 2001, so the mound septic system and well are relatively modern and could potentially be used for a new home if you decide to rebuild. The plumbing was winterized this fall. The surrounding state land includes the ORV trail, Elliot Creek (less than 1,500 feet away), several beautiful duck hunting lakes, and vehicle or ATV access to the Black Mountain Recreation Area. Located just half a mile off US-23 and less than 3.5 miles from downtown Cheboygan, the property still maintains a secluded feel. The neighboring properties are all larger acreages, including the private parcel across the road. The fourth neighbor is the state land.
