Welcome,

y name is David Vista and this is my lovely wife Crystal. We have been living in our custom built, handcrafted log home for 15 years and brought up two wonderful children in this beautiful area. Our time has come to move on to the next chapter in our life. As for our home, it too must start a new chapter and we hope it can begin with YOU!

We have 38 acres available for sale with approximately 27 acres of working farm land which provides numerous bails of hay each year. The perfect opportunity awaits for the farmer at heart to raise cattle, horses, or operating a small farm. This property also contains it’s own gravel pit.

The good news is, this property is still up for grabs but won’t be for long!

Enjoy The Tranquility Of The Upper Peninsula Of Michigan

On top of a gorgeous southern exposed 10 acre hard and soft maple ridge, you will find the brilliant colors of the maple leaves breathtaking during the autumn season and the luscious greens in the summer. The log cabin also has a unique tiger striping peeled by hand from Red Pine and a detached two car log garage with loft for storage.

Perched between Felch and Foster City in Dickinson County, it is approximately 35 miles from Iron Mountain and 48 miles from Escanaba. Our local school is approximately 10 minutes away with school bus service at end of driveway and grocery stores within 5 minutes. This parcel is very private, quiet, and peaceful all year round with the nearest neighbor being a quarter mile away!

You can just imagine sitting out on the south side porch/deck overlooking the field, watching the various wildlife such as, White Tail Deer, Turkey, Geese, and Sand hill Cranes, that visit.

With excellent hunting and fishing opportunities and endless great outdoors to discover, the possibilities are endless in the surrounding area. This property would be perfect for raising horses, having a hobby farm or just having plenty of room for you and your family to enjoy. Great for off road vehicles and just off the main snowmobile trail that runs in every direction.

Prime Time Hunting

Do you like hunting? Hunting is America’s great past time. There is easy access to prime hunting areas of the great U.P., including white tail deer, turkey, geese, woodcock, partridge and rabbits. All this only minutes away from thousands of acres of state and public land to hunt on.

Anglers Dream

This particular area is great for fishing as well. From the brookies of the small streams to the Sturgeon of the large rivers you will find an abundance of fish for the most enthusiastic of anglers. The “Big Lake” (Lake Michigan) is only a single hour away! Lake Superior is only an hour and a half drive! There are hundreds of lakes to choose from with huge largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, blue gills, crappie, walleye, pike, musky, perch, lake trout, brown trout, and smelt. There are so many species of fish I cannot even remember them all!

Love The Snow? This Is The Place For YOU!

Activities year round including snowmobilingOur land is also near hundreds of miles of snowmobile and off road vehicle trails that go in all directions. Hitting the slopes with over 100 inches of snow on the ground on a perfect day for skiing is the time of a lifetime. Ice fishing is also a big activity in this area.

I found a crazy looking knot in a tree and created a nut bowl. Unique, not elegant, but useful and just cool to look at!

It can turn out to be a long day carrying these logs.

Why does it have to snow on me today! HAHA! God does have a sense of humor after all.

This particular model is for ages 3 years and up and contains solid pine logs in red yellow and natural. There are also green roof planks and red gables.
