Description
40 +/- Acres | 5910 Shallow Dr, Idlewild, MI Turn-Key Recreational Basecamp + Future Homesite | Lake County, Michigan
This 40+/- acre tract in Idlewild, Michigan is one of those rare finds: a true turn-key recreational property with real infrastructure already in place. Accessed via a county-maintained road just off US-10, the property features a large all-metal barn with a concrete floor, electric power, a functioning well, septic system, wood-burner heat, and framed-in living quarters waiting for your personal finish. A private trail network winds throughout the timber, and a cleared, permitted homesite gives you a clean canvas for a future cabin or permanent residence. The parcel is unzoned, borders the Cadillac/Manistee National Forest, and sits minutes from Baldwin and Idlewild Lake — making it equally compelling as a hunting retreat, weekend RV base, campground investment, or future primary home.
