9239 E 8 Mile Rd, Luther, MI 49656 For Sale

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale Northern Michigan hospitality-ty and lifestyle

property located directly across from the Manistee National Forest—one of the Midwest’s premier

outdoor destinations. Spanning approximately 100 heavily wooded acres, the property offers

immediate access to over 840 square miles of public land and more than 330 miles of trails,

creating an exceptional and difficult-to-replicate setting.

Currently operated as a private residence with established rental income, the property is well

suited for expansion as a campground, glamping retreat, eco-lodge, or destination hospitality

business. Strong regional demand for outdoor recreation, combined with the property’s size,

infrastructure, and location, pro-vides meaningful upside for future owners.

Existing Improvements & Income Infrastructure

The property includes multiple income-producing and guest-ready structures, including a large

year-round custom yurt, a two-bedroom shipping container home, a modern bathhouse with hot tub, and

four established glamping tents.

Additional improvements include a large pole barn for storage or operations, livestock pens, a

scenic pond, and more than five miles of private internal trails that enhance both guest experience

and operational flexibility. Utilities include traditional electric service combined with a

renewable solar power system, re-

ducing operating costs and appealing to eco-conscious guests.

Location & Recreational Appeal

The lifestyle offering is exceptional, with direct proximity to the Manistee Na-

tional Forest, easy

access to ORV and trail systems, and nearby Little Manistee and Pine River access for fishing,

kayaking, and paddling. The area supports year-round recreation including hunting, hiking, and

riding, delivering an authentic Northern Michigan experience that balances privacy, nature, and

accessibility.

Development Flexibility

The township has no zoning restrictions, with only county and state requirements, offering rare

flexibility for future development. New ownership may expand the existing hospitality operation, add

lodging or campsites, or enjoy the property as a private retreat with income potential.
