Located within convenient reach of Charlotte and south of Lansing, this mixed-use property combines outdoor recreation with agricultural potential and room for future improvements. A Diverse Mix of Tillable Ground, Timber, and Wildlife Habitat The defining feature of this 118.7± acre property is its diverse landscape. Rather than consisting of one uniform land type, the acreage includes tillable ground, timber, and dense cover that can serve different purposes throughout the year. The tillable acres offer agricultural potential and opportunities to consider future food plot development, subject to existing leases, soil conditions, and applicable restrictions. The wooded portions and thick security cover provide habitat diversity and create opportunities to develop a more intentional wildlife management plan. For hunters looking for a productive hunting farm in southern Michigan, the combination of open ground and cover creates an appealing starting point. Deer hunters can evaluate the existing terrain, natural travel corridors, field edges, and cover transitions to determine how best to position stands and access routes. The property also offers the opportunity to improve habitat through selective timber management, strategic food plot expansion, and thoughtful trail maintenance. Creek, Timber, and Thick Security Cover A creek dissects the property, adding a natural feature to the landscape and creating another element to consider when planning access, habitat improvements, and hunting locations. The creek corridor, timbered areas, and thick security cover contribute to the property's varied terrain and may provide useful wildlife habitat. The combination of wooded acreage and dense cover provides a foundation for developing a hunting property that emphasizes concealed access and strategic stand placement. With limited road frontage, much of the acreage sits back from the road, giving the tract a tucked-away character. This layout may appeal to buyers seeking recreational property where access routes and hunting locations can be planned around the existing landscape. An Old Railroad Grade and Existing Trail System One of the property's distinctive features is an old railroad grade located just inside the road frontage. The former grade could offer a useful route for moving through the property and planning access to different sections of the acreage. Its position may help buyers evaluate how to approach timbered ground, creek areas, and thick cover without unnecessarily disturbing other portions of the property. An additional trail system is already present, providing a starting point for navigating the tract, maintaining equipment, and planning recreational use. Buyers can assess the existing routes and consider whether selective clearing or trail improvements would better connect the tillable ground, wooded areas, and potential hunting locations. The property also has a small food plot that could be maintained, expanded, or redesigned to complement a broader wildlife management strategy, subject to site conditions and applicable regulations. Concrete-Floor Outbuilding With Practical Potential Set back from the road, a concrete-floor outbuilding provides an existing improvement that adds practical value to the property's recreational appeal. Depending on its condition, dimensions, utilities, and permitted uses, it could offer storage for tractors, implements, ATVs, hunting equipment, and other outdoor gear. Buyers may also wish to evaluate its potential for use as a hunting camp or base for property maintenance, subject to zoning, building requirements, and any necessary renovations. For those looking to improve a hunting farm over time, an existing structure can provide a useful starting point for storing equipment and organizing future projects. The building's condition and suitability for any intended use should be confirmed during due diligence. A Recreational Farm With Room to Develop This 118.7± acre tract offers more than a place to hunt. The combination of tillable land, timber, creek frontage, thick cover, trails, a food plot, and an existing outbuilding creates several possible paths for future use. An owner could prioritize hunting and wildlife habitat, maintain agricultural production, explore responsible timber management, or combine these activities into a broader recreational land plan. The property will appeal to buyers who recognize the value of land that can be improved over time. Food plots can be evaluated for expansion, trails can be refined, and habitat management can be tailored to the terrain and intended use. Any agricultural, timber, or development income should be evaluated independently, as no specific yields, timber value, rental income, or return on investment have been established.
