A gated and locked entrance and tree and brush screened road frontage give you peace of mind on this 35 acres of whitetail heaven.  An Amish cabin that will sleep 4-5 people with power and propane heat, an outhouse with septic tank, and a well that hasn't been connected to the cabin give you most of the comforts of home while you are out hunting for the day or weekend.  Jeff Sturgis wrote a habitat management plan for this parcel and it has transformed this once open field into a wildlife sanctuary.  Several small ponds hold waterfowl and provide water for lots of different wildlife. The property sits within the Bacon Creek QDM co-op that has a track record of harvesting big bucks.  Neighboring parcels have taken 160+ inch bucks.  This is also in rifle zone territory. The address listed is a 1 acre parcel and the adjoining approx. 33.5 acre parcel makes up the balance of the for sale property.  That parcel ID is 010-024-002-30. This is what the seller has to say... "Great piece of land to chase whitetails.  35 minutes from Grand Rapids.  Rifle Country.  Cabin to keep dry and warm up.  Small Man Cave to get away to watch games. Land contains 3 Ponds.  Whitetail Habitat inspired designed with hinge cut property lines.  3 Raised Enclosed Hunting Blinds and 7 Tree Stands.  Switch Grass screening planted 2 years ago on the East Property Line and 2 acre plot of switch grass planted to create more bedding areas for Whitetails.  ÿSwitchgrass should grow to 6-7 feet tall by next year.  Property has it all.  Walks like 50 acres and holds deer over 12,000 trees planted throughout the property with spruce, poplar, and cherry trees.   You will not get skunked on this property.  If whitetails are your passion this property is all you.  Big Buck country.  Perfect for the hunter that likes to get away from home but close enough where you can go home for the night and return easily in the morning to hunt."

A great parcel to build your dream home and be able to raise animals and hunt on. Or, ask for a zoning change and use as commercial use. Easy on and off to I 69. A few minutes to Flint and about 30 minutes to Lansing.

If you know this area of Mecosta County, then you know the potential for big bucks. The amount of non huntable acreage in the area is in the thousands of acres, allowing bucks to get mature. The deer population is quite high as well, so plenty of opportunities to put meat in the freezer! 3 brand new fully enclosed Muddy blinds are placed around the main food plot. Just about right in the center of the property is a small wetland that provides water for the wildlife. I would imagine a few wood ducks use this spot. With approx. 2500 feet of road frontage that is along the north side of the property, you have many options on how you access the property for hunting. The entire south property line is border by the 2 Hats high fence deer ranch. There is no survey and mineral rights are reserved. The aerial photos do not do justice to the property, I was shocked at the amount of elevation change right in the middle of the property. High ridge tops that drop off into ravines give you the opportunity to sneak around the property without being seen by wildlife 100's of yards away. 100's of oak trees are throughout the property and many are ready to be harvested, bringing in immediate income to the new owner. Deer and turkey sign is everywhere. A large food plot has been installed on the east side of the property and there are other open areas ready for a plot. Soils are sandy, so a soil test is a must before any new plots would go in. If you know this area of Mecosta County, then you know the potential for big bucks.

Here is a rare opportunity to purchase land under a seller financed land contract at 6% interest.  Or purchase it conventionally. A home once sat up near the road, but it has since been torn down and the site cleaned up.  There are still two barns, a well and electricity.  One of the barns has electricity to it, it just needs to be reconnected. The parcel is almost all wooded, except for 6 acres of food plots, two ponds and a creek running through it.  There are trails throughout the property for easy access to your treestands.  The food plots are currently in corn and soybeans, the seller will soon be planting rye and turnips. The previous owners had planted thousands of pine trees, some should be cut down to thicken up those areas.  Plenty of other areas on the property are very thick. The property has great hunting access from the north and east side.  The property to the immediate west is all agriculture. The south and east sides are non hunting properties!
