14 beautiful acres with a pole barn, electric, water and septic, only 4 miles from downtown Alden! Accessed by a legal 2-track easement over the neighbor's property but there's also 325' feet of frontage along Gildas Rd if you'd rather develop your own private driveway. Park or store your boat or camper in the 28' x 40' pole barn with a 10' sliding door and steel roof. There is a well with 2 hydrants, a septic w/ drainfield and clean-out for RV wastewater and a 30 amp electric plug on the pole barn exterior for full camper hookup. Enjoy the scenic, rolling hills and mixed deciduous, evergreen and grasslands of this peaceful, quiet land with no neighbors in sight. Custer is a non-zoned township, providing more flexibility for creative housing solutions. Just a short 6 minute drive to the Alden boat launch on Torch Lake and only 15 minutes to Shanty Creek!
