EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE A 224 +/- ACRE MICHIGAN WOODED PARCEL! - This Property is located near the Assessor’s Plat of Brooklyn, a small settlement south of the unincorporated community of Baltic, Michigan, which was a historic copper mining location – found in Houghton County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. - The area, affectionately known as “Baltic-Onkalos Corner” an intersection, where Onkalos Corner Road meets other local roads, is steeped in Finnish-American heritage, dating back to the Copper Country mining boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. - Three early settler’s families lived here, and then were joined by Jacob and Aliina Onkalos who settled with three children into an old, abandoned lumber camp there in 1905. A trout stream (Maybe a tributary of the Pilgrim River) was located at the edge of this camp. [Onkalo means “cave” or “hiding place” in Finnish.] - The property boasts a diversity of forest, primarily featuring red maple, ironwood, and red oak, along with sugar maple, eastern hemlock, American basswood, yellow birch, and American elm. - An extensive trail system winds through the land, offering several open areas and the presence of a Pilgrim River tributary at its southern end. The Pilgrim River is a 12.9-mile cold-water trout fishing river that flows into the Keweenaw Waterway and ultimately Lake Superior. - The Current Owners have enrolled the majority of this property (215 Acres of the 224 Acres) in the Michigan CFA Program focusing on timber management through select harvesting and wildlife habitat development.
