About this home

Welcome to Wild River Lodge, a 225-acre Northwoods retreat fronting the North Branch of the Paint River and designed for comfortable, self-sufficient living. Located 11 miles north of US2 just outside of Iron River, MI the two-story, cedar-sided home features warm wood interiors, hardwood floors, and a wall of windows that frame the river and rolling timber. An open living/dining/kitchen layout centers on a wood-burning fireplace with insert—easy to gather around after a day outside. The main floor full bathroom also includes the mechanical room. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers an expansive space with walk-in storage and river views. Two secondary bedrooms and a half bath with laundry combo offer forest views. A standout amenity is the massive detached garage with a full finished level above—an expansive bonus space with its own gas fireplace. It’s ideal for large groups, retreats, overflow sleeping, or a studio/hobby space. The garage includes workshop area, drive-thru access, high ceilings, and generator/battery storage room. A second large pole barn adds valuable utility with expansive storage (portion with concrete floor - another shop space) for equipment and recreational vehicles. Near the river is a propane heated outdoor sauna that offers a great way to unwind after a busy day! Thoughtfully engineered systems make the property truly off-grid: solar panels, a propane-powered generator, and a small hydro-electric dam supply power; a private well and septic serve everyday needs. The land itself enhances the lifestyle: the parcel borders state and federal public-use land for added elbow room and access, while a trail system spans the property. The Paint River’s north branch flows along the property—ideal for kayaking, fishing, wildlife watching, or simply unwinding beside the water. If you’re seeking a private homestead or a group-friendly basecamp with comfort, craftsmanship, and independence, Wild River Lodge delivers. Check out the 3-D tour....
