Description

The property comprises ±108.12 acres across two municipalities — ±75.57 acres in Andover Township (Block 103, Lots 2 and 3.02) and ±32.55 acres in Sparta Township (Block 7001, Lot 1). It contains remnants of the former Camp Clipawaga, including deteriorated camp-related structures, an existing unpaved access drive, former site infrastructure, and carved paths/trail areas throughout the wooded acreage. The site also features a lake/waterbody area, with historical evidence of former camp use near the water, including remnants of a dock visible in prior aerial imagery. Existing features such as the internal paths, old access drive, lake setting, and remaining camp-related structures help support the property's adaptive reuse potential for a low-impact retreat, glamping, outdoor recreation, or private nature club concept, subject to buyer due diligence and all required approvals.
