Land

If it’s an Obsession and the Passion for whitetail deer, this is it!
Nestled off the beaten path in God’s country, surrounded by over 8,600 acres of the Manistee National Forest that offers a truly surreal setting.
The property is a licensed high fence deer farm. The fence inspection was recently completed for the 3 year permit cycle. The ranch has not been hunted in four years.
The diverse rolling terrain is completely wooded with a mixture of oaks and pines. The native bedding grass areas, a pond and a watering hole are fed by a solar powered well. Great habitat for this healthy whitetail herd.
This is a great opportunity for the passionate whitetail deer person who enjoys raising and managing these beautiful animals.




Improvements

The ranch house features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, fireplace, back deck and attached garage. Newly remodeled offering a comfortable year round atmosphere to enjoy your own deer herd.
A new 5 inch well was installed to supply the house and a water hydrant for the feeding area. A silo feed storage and feeders are in place. The new blinds are strategically placed for viewing and hunting.
The carport is used for equipment storage.
A recently installed solar powered well is located next to the pond.


Recreation

This is a Whitetail Deer Hunter’s Dream property.
The ranch borders 8,600 acres of the Manistee National Forest land that gives a large platform for bird hunting and hiking with some access roads for off-road riding and snowmobiling.
The Pere Marquette River is 12 miles away offering World Class Trout and Salmon fishing. The famous Little Manistee River is 25 miles away along with several inland lakes to enjoy.
Silver Lake Sand Dunes is 40 miles and Ludington is 48 miles.
The ranch is located in northern Newaygo County, known as a mecca for Four Season recreational opportunities.




General Operations

From a young age, I knew deer hunting was my true passion, and deer camp quickly became my favorite time of year. The tradition of hunting with my dad, uncles, and friends sharing stories and creating memories was something I always eagerly anticipated. However, as time passed and we all grew older, those trips became less frequent, and the spirit of deer camp slowly faded away. That’s when my father and I decided to create Crooked Tine Ranch, a place to bring back the classic deer camp experience. It’s a spot where we can make new memories, welcome new friends, and share stories of successful harvests together.
*The owners since August 2024, already own and operate a deer breeding farm near St. Johns, Mi. and have realized that the distance and the time involved to care for the ranch is the reason for selling.
