This property is a rare find, not seen very often - perhaps only once in a century! Previously recognized as a Michigan Centennial Farm, it was formerly known as the Dawson Farm. This is notable because it supplied the sand and gravel used to build the streets of Marlette and was also the first farm to receive electricity from the Delco Power Plant. The property spans 48 acres and features a diverse landscape, including 8 tillable acres, areas rich in sand and gravel, and wooded sections that support a wide variety of wildlife. There are two ponds on the property, with electricity available to one of them, providing water sources for the local wildlife. Additionally, there is a 24x32 pole barn equipped with electricity and water. While the house may require some time and effort to restore, once completed, it has the potential to become a stunning estate. Please refrain from walking on the property without a licensed agent present.
