One of a kind! In over a decade of being a land specialist for Whitetail Properties, I have had the privilege of representing several special properties. This one is near the top of the list for many reasons. Although we Michigander's are blessed with ample recreational water, it is rare to find a property that boasts habitat that legitimately supports both land faring wildlife as well as waterfowl. With nearly 25 acres of flooded marsh and timber, this parcel has fantastic waterfowl breeding, rearing and hunting opportunities. In addition, this property lies only approximately 1 mile from the famous, Houghton Lake. This proximity allows superb natural recruitment for resident and migrating ducks and geese. Excitingly, as an effort to increase the huntability, the current owner has installed multiple blinds including a sunken pit blind as well as power and an aerator designed to keep the water open on those years the ice shows up early. (When surrounding waterways are frozen, open water options become a waterfowl magnet!) Additionally, this parcel is teaming with deer, turkey, bear and other wildlife. The seller has engaged in years of development ranging from creating well established trail systems, installing well placed hunting blinds and building approximately 11 acres of strategic supplemental food plots. These efforts have turned this property into the place to be for an already strong deer herd. The heavy cover has created great fawning grounds as well as bedding cover and additional natural browse. The water features and changing topography provide incredible natural corridors that make hunting and stand placement not only practical but enjoyable. This tract is set up in a way that access, regardless of wind direction, can be undetectable. All these efforts combined have resulted in the realistic opportunity to hunt not only quantity but quality, as seen in the trail cam pictures and videos included in this listing. As if the acreage isn't enough, this property is all inclusive given the fact it also has a gorgeous, well built home located at the end of a long and winding driveway covered by a canopy of mature maples, oaks and towering white pines. The home is spacious, with lots of storage, gorgeous views of your wooded surroundings and a beautiful covered porch as well as a large, 3 car attached garage. Furthermore, you will definitely enjoy the large, in-floor heated and finished stick built barn out back. Ample space offers storage for all of your equipment with plenty of room left over for your own heated workshop. This home is perfect for raising a family or even a retirement getaway for those dreaming about spending their golden years in the recreational rich UP NORTH of Michigan's Northern lower peninsula. Only minutes from Houghton Lake and all of the recreational opportunities it presents as well as amenities, dining, and schools. Conveniently located less than 5 minutes from one of Michigan's main arteries in US-127, giving you and your loved ones easy access regardless of your travel needs. As stated earlier, this property is one of very few that offers so much diversity. The concept of owning a property that offers year round hunting, relaxed and secluded living, with close proximity to travel and amenities are very rare. That is why this one is special. Please don't hesitate to call for your own personal tour.
