You have to experience this one in person! This is 152 acres of pure Michigan beauty.

The Little Manistee River winds right through the property, where trout are known to visit, and the hilltop views will absolutely take your breath away. From rolling forests to peaceful riverfront, it's a dream for outdoor lovers and hunters alike. When I walked the land myself, I counted around 20 deer — it's truly alive with wildlife! There's even a small swamp that provides perfect cover for them. You'll find endless opportunities to explore — miles of ATV and snowmobile trails, quiet wooded paths for hiking, spots to fish or hunt, and in winter, snowshoeing or backcountry skiing would be incredible. Just an hour and a half from Grand Rapids, it's close enough for a weekend escape yet far enough to feel like your own private wilderness. The property includes two parcels (approximately 78.62 and 74.10 acres each), with an ideal hilltop building site waiting for your cabin or dream home overlooking it all. Come walk it and you'll fall in love the moment your boots hit the ground. Call for an appointment.
