Rare opportunity to own an incredible 170-acre tract just minutes from Houghton Lake and less than 1.5 miles from the lake itself. Enjoy quick access to all the dining, shopping, boating, ORV trails, restaurants, and year-round recreation the area has to offer, including some of Northern Michigan's best fishing on Houghton Lake, while experiencing the privacy and seclusion of your own wilderness retreat. This property is truly an outdoorsman's dream, offering a diverse mix of habitats that support exceptional populations of wildlife. Whether you're a serious hunter, trapper, or simply enjoy the outdoors, this property has everything you could ask for. Consistent sightings of whitetail deer, turkey, black bear, predators, grouse (partridge), and waterfowl make this a premier destination for hunting multiple species throughout the seasons. The varied habitat creates ideal bedding, feeding, and travel corridors that hold wildlife year-round, giving you the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of outdoor pursuits on one property. A gated entrance off paved Loxley Road welcomes you onto the property, where an established trail system provides outstanding access throughout the acreage by truck, ATV, or side-by-side. The gently rolling terrain adds character, excellent natural drainage, and numerous scenic building sites for a hunting cabin, weekend getaway, or custom home overlooking your own private retreat. Several existing clearings are already ideal for food plots, making it easy to further enhance the property's wildlife potential. There are also multiple locations that would be well suited for a future pond, adding even more recreational appeal while further improving the property's already exceptional habitat. Surrounded primarily by large private parcels, this property offers the peace, privacy, and seclusion that are becoming increasingly difficult to find while still being just minutes from everything Houghton Lake has to offer. Spend your mornings in the deer stand, afternoons fishing for walleye, pike, bass, and panfish on Houghton Lake, and evenings relaxing around the campfire on your own private retreat. Whether your vision is creating a premier hunting property, building your dream home, establishing a family retreat, or simply investing in a remarkable piece of Northern Michigan land, this property offers outstanding versatility and endless potential. Properties of this size, quality, and location rarely become available. If you've been searching for a property that truly checks all the boxes--privacy, exceptional hunting, outstanding access, build potential, and a location close to Houghton Lake--this is one you won't want to miss.
