Description
This 80-acre property offers a great mix of habitat, infrastructure, and convenience for anyone looking for a hunting parcel, recreational getaway or a place to enjoy year-round. The land is mostly high and dry, making it easy to use and accessible in all seasons. With established food plots, a well-planned trail system and a year-round water source, the property is already set up for wildlife and ready for the next owners to enjoy.
Land Features
The parcel is primarily high and dry ground, which is a big advantage compared to many hunting properties in the region. You’ll be able to move around the property without fighting swamp or muck, and the land is more usable for planting, building and hunting.
The soil here is especially fertile, allowing for a wide range of food plot options. Current owners have had success with brassicas, rye, oats, rape and turnips. Food sources are a big part of holding deer and other wildlife, and this property makes it easy to continue or expand those efforts.
The habitat includes a mix of thermal cover, natural grasses and thick bedding areas, all of which create reliable year-round wildlife use. The diversity of the land helps ensure deer, turkey and small game stick around rather than just passing through. The occasional black bear has also been spotted here.
A clear creek runs the length of the property, providing fresh water to wildlife and feeding the surrounding vegetation. This feature also keeps the land rich and healthy. In addition to the creek, there are two ponds, which further enhance water availability and overall habitat quality. A bridge over the creek makes it easy to get to both sides without hassle.
Trail System
The property is easy to navigate thanks to an established trail system that runs throughout. These trails connect different sections of the parcel, making it simple to access food plots, tree stands, blinds, or just explore on foot or ATV. Having trails already in place saves new owners years of work and provides immediate enjoyment of the full property.
Hunting Setup
For hunters, the property comes with several elevated blinds and tree stands already in place. They’re strategically positioned to give coverage in multiple wind directions, which means you can hunt without overusing a single spot. This setup also allows you to rest certain areas of the property while focusing pressure elsewhere.
The current owners have managed the property carefully and have a track record of consistent hunting success. Trail camera photos and harvest history show good deer numbers and quality animals. Combined with the strong turkey population and varied small game opportunities, the hunting here has been a highlight for years.
Orchard & Apple Trees
Wildlife is further drawn to the land by scattered apple trees and a small orchard located just behind the cabin. These trees add a natural food source for deer and turkeys, while also making for a pleasant view and atmosphere around the living space.
Buildings & Improvements
This isn’t just vacant land, it comes with useful, well-maintained structures that make it more functional and comfortable for extended stays.
24x48 Pole Barn with Living Quarters
The main building is a 24x48 pole barn. Half of it has been finished into a living space, complete with:
-Bedroom
-Bathroom
-Full kitchen
-Large windows overlooking the orchard and food plots
This setup allows you to stay right on the property with modern amenities, while still being surrounded by the outdoors.
The other half of the building remains a workshop and storage area, giving you plenty of room for tractors, ATVs, equipment, or tools.
Additional Structures
An older lean-to, still in good condition, provides extra storage for equipment such as tractors or implements.
A well-kept camper (and possibly another) is set up on the property with access to 30-amp service, making it perfect for extra living space during hunting season or family gatherings.
Location
The property has road access from both the east and north sides, making it easy to reach and convenient for hauling in equipment or campers. Despite the easy access, once you’re on the land, it feels private and quiet.
It’s also located near several well-known recreational spots in Michigan’s northeast Lower Peninsula:
-A short drive to Lake Huron
-Close to the Ausable River and Augres River, both known for fishing, canoeing, and other activities
-Surrounded by other outdoor opportunities that make the region a popular destination
This balance of accessibility and seclusion makes the property usable for both weekend trips and longer stays.
Year-Round Use
Although it’s set up as a hunting property, this land can be enjoyed year-round.
-In the spring, watch turkeys strut, prepare food plots, or just enjoy the return of green.
-In the summer, use the trails for ATVs, host cookouts, or fish nearby rivers and Lake Huron.
-In the fall, the property shines with quality deer and turkey hunting.
-In the winter, stay warm in the cabin, snowshoe or ski the trails, or use the blinds for predator hunting.
Summary
This 80-acre property is well set up for anyone who enjoys hunting, the outdoors, or just having a quiet place to get away. The combination of food plots, cover, water and existing hunting setups makes it ready to use right away. The added improvements, including a pole barn with living space, storage buildings and camper hookups, make it easy to stay on-site comfortably.
Whether you’re looking for a hunting camp, a family retreat or a place to enjoy the outdoors in every season, this property has the features and layout to fit. With good access, fertile soil, reliable water and a proven history of successful hunts, it’s a strong option for anyone wanting land in northern Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.
