If you are someone who has been looking for a sizable piece of acreage, within 2 hours of Michigan's metropolitan areas you know that they are kind of tough to come by.
This unique 260 acre tract has a true Northern Michigan feel; and is located only 1.5 hours from greater Lansing and Grand Rapids, and 2 hours from metro Detroit. The home itself is 3,700+ square foot, triple A frame design, built in a mid-century modern aesthetic, and located on a blacktop road. 3 large additions (including skylights and full window walls) were added in 1997 to give the home an octagonal shape. The open floor plan allows natural light to flow easily throughout the entire house, and the 21 foot vaulted ceilings give the home a very spacious feel. Additional touches include a floor to ceiling fireplace in the great room, and a solar porch with stone wall perfect for watching resident wildlife. There is plenty of outdoor storage space in the 24’ x 30’ pole barn and adjacent potting shed. The acreage is comprised of rolling hardwoods, pine and poplar swales, along with expansive huckleberry marshes and 3 separate spring fed ponds. 240 of the 260 total acres are enrolled in a conservation easement, providing a tax savings to the owner. For the sportsman; hunting and trapping opportunities abound. Game species are abundant, and include deer, turkey, waterfowl, grouse, partridge and beaver. This versatile property would make a fantastic hunting club, weekend getaway or year round residence. This property is priced well below a recent appraisal at $699,000
As an avid sportsman myself, what I am most drawn to about this property is the sheer size and diversity of the habitat. As it is, this property could easily accommodate 6-8 hunters at a time, and with a little strategic planning maybe more.
There has been very little activity on the property in terms of habitat improvement or forestry. This untapped potential leaves the door wide open for the next owner to build it into a premier hunting property to suit their own goals and desires.
