With high, dry ground, fertile soils, established food plots, a trail system, and water sources, it checks every box for sportsmen and families alike. Land & Habitat Unlike many parcels in this part of Michigan, the majority of this property is high and dry, making it accessible in all seasons. You can walk or drive throughout the acreage without dealing with swamps or muck, which not only makes hunting easier but also expands your options for food plots and building sites. The soil here is especially fertile and has supported a variety of plantings. Current owners have had excellent results with brassicas, rye, oats, rape, and turnips. These plantings create reliable food sources that help hold deer, turkey, and other wildlife on the property year-round. Habitat diversity is another strength. You'll find thick bedding cover, natural grasses, thermal protection, and a balance of open and wooded ground. Together, these features provide the cover, food, and security needed to support a healthy game population. Deer, turkey, and small game are abundant, and even the occasional black bear has been spotted here. A small creek runs through the property, feeding into two ponds and supplying fresh water to wildlife. This not only enhances habitat quality but also supports lush vegetation. A sturdy bridge allows easy access across the creek, making the entire property usable. Trail System A well-maintained trail system winds through the acreage, connecting food plots, hunting locations, and scenic areas. These trails make it simple to access blinds and stands with different wind directions, ride ATVs, or take long walks with family. With the groundwork already done, new owners can enjoy the full property immediately without years of work. Hunting Setup For hunters, this property is already dialed in. Several elevated blinds and tree stands are strategically placed to maximize coverage and reduce pressure on any single location. The ability to rotate setups is a major advantage for keeping deer movement predictable. The current owners have managed the land carefully, and it shows. Trail camera history and harvest records confirm a strong deer population, with quality bucks taken year after year. Turkey numbers are excellent, and the property offers classic small game hunting as well. In short, this is a proven hunting property with a track record of success. Apple Trees & Orchard Adding to the attraction for both wildlife and people, scattered apple trees and a small orchard sit near the living quarters. These trees provide a natural draw for deer and turkeys, while also creating a beautiful, relaxing setting around the cabin.
