About This Home

This exceptional property offers a rare blend of recreation, comfort, and convenience with the Au Gres River running right through it. Designed for outdoor living and year-round enjoyment, it features miles of groomed trails and established food plots with multiple box blinds and treestands, perfect for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts alike. The property also has several fruit trees scattered throughout, providing even more mast for the wildlife.
From a hunting perspective, this one has had all of the work done and is ready to go. The owner has put a ton of time and effort into setting the property up with strategically located Food, cover, and water to give the deer everything they need. The thought and detail that have gone into the setup of the property also allow you to enter and exit stand locations with minimal human intrusion and allow you to effectively hunt the property with any wind direction. The proof is in the results: several very nice bucks have been harvested from the property (see trailcam and harvest pictures).
The Lodge offers 2,852 sq. ft. of finished living space, originally built in the 1970s with a thoughtful addition around 2010. Inside, you'll find a spacious game room, cozy fireplace, primary suite, two bedrooms, two full baths, and a large loft that comfortably sleeps 4-5. The attached 2-car garage and additional storage areas make everyday living easy.
The outbuildings are another highlight, including a 40x60 pole barn with 18-foot sidewalls, plumbed for a man cave, and outfitted with three large doors (16', 12', and 10'). A lean-to provides extra covered storage, along with a 38x24 garage that has a 38x12 lean-to.
Additional features include two bridges across the river, a dedicated cooler and skinning station, and miles of established trails throughout the property. Whether you're watching the river from home, working on habitat projects, hunting, or entertaining friends and family, this property has everything you need. Don't miss your chance to own a turn-key recreational retreat in the heart of Michigan.
