This 253-acre Isabella County property has been set up from the ground up with hunters in mind. The acreage includes a newly built hunting lodge with over 2,280 square feet of living space, more than 1600 square feet of climate-controlled storage, and a two-car garage for ATVs, side-by-sides, or trucks. The storage area features 2- 12' doors for all your large tractor or camper storage. The lodge is practical, comfortable, and ready to use immediately. It includes four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, an open living area with a wood stove and backup power from a generator. The living space is absolutely turnkey - everything is finished, functional and geared toward handling the demands of hunting season and beyond.

The acreage is the real highlight. Spanning 253 acres, it’s a mix of timber, open ground and food plots with a trail system that makes it easy to access every part of the property. The trails are mowed and wide enough for ATVs or UTVs, so you can quietly and efficiently move between hunting areas or get game out after a successful hunt. There are multiple food plots in place, planted and maintained to hold deer and turkey throughout the year. Six permanent gun blinds are already set up in proven spots, so you don’t need to spend time scouting blind locations or hauling in stands.

A two-acre pond sits on the property and is currently being professionally refinished - the work is paid for and in progress. Once complete, it will serve as both a reliable water source for deer and turkeys and a bonus spot for fishing or the occasional waterfowl hunt. Ponds like this don’t just add scenery; they keep wildlife close and create natural travel routes for deer.

This ground has a proven track record. Over the past six years, multiple trophy-class bucks have been harvested here. The 2025 trail camera history confirms the quality of deer that continue to use the property, with consistent movement patterns across the food plots, trails, and bedding areas. The setup has been designed to attract and hold mature deer year after year, and it shows in the harvest history. Turkeys are abundant as well, with reliable spring hunting opportunities. Waterfowl hunting is not the primary focus, but the pond offers chances in the fall when birds are moving through.

For storage and gear, the property is well equipped. The climate-controlled storage area is large enough to handle hunting gear, tractors, ATVs and processing equipment without worry about weather or pests. The two-car toy garage keeps machines ready to go and the backup generator ensures the lodge and storage stay operational in all conditions. These are the kinds of features that make a property truly functional, especially for serious hunters who spend extended time in camp.

Beyond hunting, the trails provide opportunities for riding, hiking, and winter recreation like snowmobiling or cross-country skiing, but the focus of this property is clearly on hunting. Everything has been designed to maximize efficiency, success and enjoyment in the field.

Located near Clare, the property has enough seclusion to feel private but is close enough to town for supplies, dining or fuel. Larger cities and lakes are within reasonable driving distance, making it accessible but still out of the way enough to function as a true hunting retreat.

In short, this is a turn-key hunting property. The lodge is new, the storage is ready, the pond is being improved and the hunting setup is proven. With 253 acres of managed land, multiple food plots, more than six blinds and a strong history of trophy deer and turkeys, this property is ready for the next owner to hunt immediately and manage for the long term. It’s a place built by hunters, for hunters and it’s prepared to keep producing for years to come.

This acreage has been enrolled in a conservation easement. There are approximately 10 acres not included in the easement where a new owner could build another home/lodge. Timber can still be cut, trails and food plots are in place. The conservation easement ensures taxes will not become uncapped for the new owner.
