10.01 Wooded Acres Near Lake Superior in Brimley, MI | Existing Cabin | Paved Access | Chippewa County
0 W Lakeshore Dr Lot D · Brimley, MI 49715 · Bay Mills Township · Chippewa County · R1 Zoning
Ten wooded acres on paved W Lakeshore Dr, roughly 450 feet from the Lake Superior shoreline, with an existing hunting cabin already on the property. This corner of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is not easy to replicate: level wooded acreage, a northern lake setting, paved road access, nearby power, and the kind of quiet that defines the UP at its best. Owner financing is available on flexible terms.
🌊 Approximately 450 feet from Lake Superior | Brimley Beach 13 minutes away | Monocle Lake Boat Ramp 5 minutes away
This property is not lakefront, and that is worth saying plainly. What it offers is something worth understanding on its own terms: ten acres of private wooded land in the Lake Superior corridor, with the shoreline close enough to be part of daily life without the lakefront price tag or the exposure that comes with it. Public Lake Superior access at Brimley Beach is about 13 minutes away. Monocle Lake Boat Ramp is only about 5 minutes out. The water is part of the lifestyle here, just not the lot line.
Property at a Glance
The Property
The land is level and wooded throughout, making it straightforward to walk and plan. Natural tree cover provides privacy from the road and neighboring properties while the interior acreage gives buyers real room to think through homesite placement, a cabin footprint, trails, or recreational use without feeling cramped.
The existing 12 x 12 hunting cabin adds immediate character and a practical foothold on the property while longer-term plans take shape. Condition and status should be verified by the buyer, but a camp structure already standing on wooded UP acreage near Lake Superior is a meaningful feature that most comparable properties simply cannot offer.
Utilities
⚡ Power available nearby | well and septic required
Power is available in the area through Cloverland Electric and will need to be connected to the property. Water will require a well installation and a septic system will need to be installed. Propane is the typical gas source in this part of Chippewa County. Seller disclosure notes a historical positive perc result from approximately 1995; buyers should treat this as informational context only and verify current septic suitability and requirements directly with Chippewa County Environmental Health.
The Area
Brimley and Bay Mills Township sit in a part of Michigan that people come back to for decades. Lake Superior, Monocle Lake, Brimley Beach, and the surrounding Chippewa County landscape offer fishing, boating, hiking, and shoreline access that is difficult to find anywhere else in the Midwest.

Marie and the US/Canada border crossing are about 31 minutes out, offering shopping, healthcare, dining, and international travel access. Paradise is about 40 minutes away. Mackinaw City is roughly an hour and 8 minutes, Marquette about 2 hours 30 minutes, and Traverse City around 3 hours 15 minutes for those who want to explore the broader UP and northern Michigan corridor.
