Positioned in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula within Chippewa County, this 105± acre land offering presents a rare opportunity to secure a large contiguous tract with long-term flexibility for a range of land-based strategies—from recreational and conservation ownership to timberland, agricultural use, or a future development hold (subject to due diligence and approvals). Offered at $4,000,000, the site provides the scale and privacy today’s buyers seek, with ample acreage to support phased planning, multiple use areas, and value-add stewardship over time.
The surrounding market benefits from a stable, rural demographic profile that supports long-term land ownership and lifestyle-driven demand. Rudyard Township reflects a small-community environment with 1,121 residents and a median age of 47, indicating an established resident base. Income metrics also point to steady household purchasing power, with median household income of $64,453 and per-capita income of $32,401, alongside a 9.2% poverty rate (ACS 2024 5-year). At the county level, Chippewa County’s 2024 population estimate is 36,253, and the area shows a meaningful share of long-term residents and households, with 75.0% owner-occupied housing and a median owner-occupied home value of $161,900 (2020–2024).
For buyers prioritizing acreage, optionality, and a proven rural market backdrop, 9286 Thompson Rd offers a compelling canvas—large enough to execute a vision, yet grounded in a community with consistent demographic fundamentals.
