About This Lot

As of May 2026

Outstanding opportunity to own 60 acres of prime hunting and recreational land in Southwest Michigan with multiple potential building sites. This property is rich with deer and turkey, featuring established game trails throughout. Rolling timber and the scenic Brandywine Creek winding through the acreage provide ideal habitat to attract, hold, and strategically hunt wildlife. The diverse cover also presents future timber harvest potential for added long-term value. Build your dream home or private weekend retreat. Perfect for hunting, hiking, ATV riding, and snowmobiling. Ideally located between South Haven and St. Joseph, with convenient access to Lake Michigan beaches, local farm markets, and I-196, you'll enjoy seclusion without sacrificing accessibility. Existing structure has no value and is in tear-down condition.
