MICHIGAN .45 ACRE BIG IRON RIVER PARCEL FOR SALE! This parcel is located in historic Silver City, Carp Lake Township, in Ontonagon County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. - Silver City was established after silver was discovered in the area in 1872. That year Daniel Beaser one of the earliest pioneers platted Silver City – Buildings were erected including a hotel. (The mine wasn’t profitable, and it and the city closed down in 1876, just four years later.) - The property has 100+/- feet of frontage on Big Iron River, a Type 3 All Year fishing stream. - This is a 28.3-mile-long river that flows northward, entering Lake Superior at the village of Silver City. It is a popular fishing river for Northern pike, Walleye, Muskellunge, Coho salmon, and Rainbow trout. Spring Smelting is a big event here. - The shoreline of the parcel being offered for sale is only about 600+/- feet from where the river flows into Lake Superior. There is a Park and Boat Launch with a hard surface on the opposite side of the river just minutes away. - This parcel is located about 13 miles west of Ontonagon for Village amenities. - Three miles to the west is the entrance to the 60,000+ acre pristine Porcupine Mountains Wilderness Park – where you will find year-round fun with hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, canoeing, kayaking, biking and birding available.

The street honors, Daniel Beaser, the man who in the 1870s prospected for silver and gold, homesteaded here, and platted the Village. He advertised lots for sale to attract new residents, and Ads for his newly platted Silver City appeared in the Marquette Journal in 1876. (Because workers were often paid in silver coins this led to the nickname for the Village.) - If you are looking for an affordable spot to build your home or seasonal get-a-way cabin with River/Lake Superior access, and wilderness opportunities just minutes away, add this property to your list!
