Hunting / Farm Land, Country Homes & Estates for sale in Cheboygan County, MI

About Cheboygan County Land For Sale:

Tucked into the tip of Michigan’s Northern Lower Peninsula, Cheboygan County blends Great Lakes shoreline with inland lakes, cedar swamps, and maple ridges. The famed Inland Waterway threads from Burt and Mullett Lakes down the Cheboygan River to Lake Huron—meaning you can boat, fish, and float for miles without repeating water. Black Mountain Recreation Area, Aloha State Park, and the edge of Pigeon River Country State Forest add big-woods character and four-season recreation. Small towns like Cheboygan and Indian River provide supplies, marinas, and just enough dining to make “up north” comfortable.

Land & Lifestyle at a Glance

Hunting & Recreation – Classic deer and grouse country: mixed hardwoods and aspen regen broken by tag alder, cedar swales, and ag edges. Nearby access to Black Mountain and Pigeon River Country expands the roam for whitetails, small game, and trail riding.

Waterfront & Lakes/Rivers – Options range from sandy or gravel frontage on Burt/Mullett to quieter creek and river stretches with softer, mucky margins ideal for waterfowl. Expect floodplain in low river bottoms—site plans and setbacks matter.

Farm & Tillable – Pockets of tillable ground with sandy loam to loamy sand; field shapes are generally workable with good two-track or county-road access. Low spots often benefit from surface drainage or selective tiling.

Timber & Habitat – Northern hardwoods (maple/beech/birch) on the uplands; cedar, balsam, and spruce in the bottoms; aspen and scattered red/white pine. Many tracts show prior select cuts—great for browse and regrowth.

Cabin/Residential – Year-round county roads are common; seasonal roads open up privacy. Electric is typically along the road; wells/septic standard. Fixed wireless and fiber are expanding near towns and along main corridors.

Public Land & Nearby Recreation

Local Tips from a Michigan Land Specialist:

  • Winter road maintenance varies—verify if a target parcel is on a county-maintained plow route or seasonal road.

  • Cedar/lowland spots can perc fine with the right system, but plan on soil evaluation early; consult MSU Extension on soils and septics.

  • Inland Waterway frontage often has specific setback and dock considerations—budget for a site plan on tighter lots.

  • If you see stumps and dense regen, that’s productive edge habitat—great for deer. Mark skid trails on a map; they double as access lanes and future firebreaks.

  • For buildability, confirm township zoning and driveway permits along county roads before you close.

  • Hunters: check Michigan DNR seasons & regulations for unit boundaries and current dates.

What parcel sizes are most common?
You’ll see a mix of 10–20 acre starter tracts, classic 40–80 acre hunting pieces, larger timber blocks, and coveted lake lots on Burt and Mullett.
