The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is home to vast stretches of timberland, offering exceptional opportunities for investment, recreation, and sustainable forestry. Whether you’re looking for a managed timber operation, a private hunting preserve, or a secluded retreat with pristine woodlands, the UP has options to suit every need. Designated Commercial Forest (CF) lands provide tax benefits for owners who keep their land open for public recreation while maintaining timber production. Additionally, properties under Qualified Forest Program (QFP) designation offer reduced property taxes for landowners practicing sustainable forestry. Popular areas such as Baraga County, Iron County, and Marquette County are known for their dense forests of maple, oak, aspen, and pine, while regions near Hiawatha and Ottawa National Forests offer large private tracts with access to abundant wildlife and trails. With strong timber markets, extensive natural resources, and endless outdoor possibilities, owning timberland in the UP provides both economic value and an unmatched connection to nature.
