Have you ever dreamed of owning a piece of land that offers unrivaled fishing opportunities and breathtaking natural beauty? Look no further than the Baldwin Cabin House, a property for sale on the Pere Marquette River in Michigan.
The Pere Marquette River is not just any river; it is a National Wild and Scenic River, designated as such by an act of Congress. It is also a Natural River and Blue Ribbon Trout Stream, making it one of the few rivers of its kind left in the country. For anglers, this means that the fishing here is truly exceptional.
What sets the Baldwin Cabin House apart is its sheer size and quality. With an impressive 7 miles of river frontage on the Pere Marquette mainstream and over a square mile of land, this property is a fisherman’s paradise. Surrounded and protected by vast Federal forests, it offers a serene and secluded environment that is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
The fishing on the Pere Marquette River is nothing short of spectacular. The river is home to a variety of trout species, including resident rainbow and brown trout. Thanks to the quality hatches of mayflies, caddis, and stoneflies, dry fly angling is a popular method for catching these prized fish. In addition, the river sees runs of large steelhead trout and salmon during the spring and fall, providing even more excitement for anglers.
The property itself boasts a charming Adirondacks style Lodge, built in 1929 using white ash and wormy chestnut. There is also a Tackle House, Barn, Caretaker’s House, and four newer cabins that are strategically located along the river. For those who prefer stillwater fishing, there is a trout pond that is fed by the river and shaded by large hardwoods. And to top it all off, the property includes mineral rights, adding to its value.
Locals who have fished the Pere Marquette for decades claim that the fishing is better now than it was in the 1970s. The river supports large populations of resident brown trout and provides world-class fishing opportunities for steelhead and salmon. In fact, the Pere Marquette River was the site of the first brown trout introduction in the United States back in 1884. Rainbow trout were also planted the following year, and both species thrived and developed into self-sustaining populations.
The Baldwin Cabin House has been in the Cannon family for an impressive 67 years, since the early 1950s. Now, this remarkable property can be yours. MLS#1860044 represents the heart of the property, featuring 5,906 feet of river frontage, 158 acres of land, the historic Lodge, Tackle House, Caretaker’s House, and Barn. However, if you want the complete package, MLS#1860043 includes it all.
If you’re interested in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will need to visit and walk the land to truly understand and appreciate the beauty, power, and magic of the Pere Marquette River. So, what are you doing this weekend that sounds like more fun than exploring this remarkable property?
