SUNUP LODGE — A PRIVATE LAKE HURON LEGACY PROPERTY Welcome to SUNUP Lodge, an extraordinary private retreat offering an unmatched combination of Lake Huron shoreline, recreational acreage, privacy, and turnkey infrastructure. Located near Alpena, this remarkable property encompasses approximately 31,860 feet of pristine Lake Huron shoreline—nearly six miles—backed by 992 surveyed acres of recreational land. It is believed to be one of the largest privately owned stretches of Lake Huron shoreline. Set directly along the water, the approximately 3,456-square-foot ranch-style lodge was built in 2008 and designed to embrace the incredible natural surroundings. From the expansive living spaces, enjoy sweeping views across Lake Huron, including views of multiple islands and two lighthouses. The setting offers a level of privacy and seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find. The shoreline provides endless opportunities for recreation and exploration. Spend summer days swimming, boating, beachcombing, or exploring miles of predominantly sandy shoreline, including areas of natural sand dunes. Beyond the water, more than 15 miles of private drivable trails and roads wind throughout the property, creating opportunities for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, 4x4 adventures, wildlife watching, and exploring your own private wilderness. A True Sporting Estate For the outdoor enthusiast and avid sportsman, SUNUP Lodge offers an exceptional hunting and habitat-management component. Established food plots and hunting blinds are already in place, providing a ready-to-use hunting experience across the property's diverse terrain. One of the property's most distinctive features is its history of intentional habitat management for ruffed grouse. Approximately 30 years ago, portions of the property were timbered under the guidance of a forester trained in ruffed grouse habitat management, with the forest management planned to create a diverse mix of age classes and conditions favored by ruffed grouse. Aspen is an important component of ruffed grouse habitat throughout the Great Lakes region. Properly managed aspen stands of different ages can provide a combination of dense young cover, food sources, and mature trees that contribute to year-round habitat needs. Ruffed Grouse Society guidance specifically emphasizes maintaining a diversity of forest age classes to provide the food and cover these birds require. The habitat-management work at SUNUP was undertaken with these principles in mind, creating a landscape designed to support ruffed grouse while also benefiting other wildlife. The same aspen and young-forest management practices that benefit ruffed grouse can provide important food and cover for white-tailed deer and other species. The property also borders approximately 1,500 acres associated with Huron Pines Conservation, providing an additional expanse of conservation land adjacent to the property. This neighboring acreage creates a substantial natural buffer and expands the surrounding habitat available to wildlife. Whether your passion is deer hunting, ruffed grouse and upland birds, waterfowl, fishing, boating, or simply observing wildlife in its natural environment, SUNUP Lodge offers an extraordinary setting with the land, habitat, and infrastructure already in place. Trails, Equipment & Infrastructure More than 15 miles of private drivable trails and roads wind throughout the property. These trails provide access to hunting areas, food plots, shoreline, recreational areas, and the interior acreage while creating opportunities for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and 4x4 exploration. For those who enjoy managing and maintaining a large recreational property, the infrastructure is equally impressive. A 40' x 40' pole building houses a professionally maintained Kubota tractor, excavator, and the equipment necessary to care for the extensive trail system and grounds. An additional large machine shed provides substantial st
