About This Home

As of May 2025

An opportunity like this only comes around once in a lifetime. 143 picturesque acres with nearly ONE MILE of Sand Creek frontage, as well as a ranch home and historic barn, located only 15 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids in Tallmadge Township. Available for the first time since 1910, this is your chance to own a slice of history and is the largest parcel on the market right now in the GR area. The possibilities here are endless and the land is absolutely premier for farming, hunting, fishing, and the like! Wildlife and tranquility are abundant here with many trophy bucks harvested over the years. With stunning forested and open areas and gorgeous Sand Creek that winds its way through the landscape, you will love the panoramic views. The property features approximately 2200 feet of road frontage with multiple outbuildings and storage areas recently used for a farming operation. The 4 bed, 2 bath spacious and cozy ranch style farmhouse has a bright open layout with a very generously sized living room with stone fireplace, pellet stove, and attached sunroom. These areas flow nicely into an open kitchen with island, dining space, and an additional living space. A large indoor pool room has much potential for gatherings and entertaining. Step back in time in the circa 1910 timber-frame barn and enjoy the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Don't miss your chance to view this unmatched land and historic farm, where the expansion opportunities are endless. Reach out today for a private tour!
