Your Northern Michigan hunting and recreational retreat awaits! Set on 160 acres made up of two separate 80-acre parcels, this property offers privacy, abundant wildlife habitat, a comfortable 1,400+ sq ft cabin, multiple outbuildings, a pond, and an extensive trail system. Located on a quiet dead-end gravel road in Klacking Township, Ogemaw County, the property backs up to large amount of the Ogemaw State Forest, and is located just south of The Foose Swamp, the headwaters of Klacking Creek. A Type 1 inland trout stream, providing an expansive setting for outdoor recreation. The 1,400+ sq ft, 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin features attractive 1/4-log siding and a comfortable rustic character that's perfectly suited for a hunting camp, recreational getaway, or year-round residence. The screened-in porch is an ideal place to relax, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and take in the sights and sounds of the outdoors. . Just outside the front door is a beautiful and well-maintained 1/3-acre swimming pond with a large sandy beach. The pond is aerated and has a freshwater source cascading down a rock waterfall creating a true oasis in a peaceful setting. The front 80 acres are mostly wooded and rolling, providing excellent cover and habitat for wildlife. A pond located about halfway on the acreage offers an attractive waterfowl area as well as an important water source for the property's wildlife. The back 80 acres is hilly, with the elevation rising 250 feet, rolling, and has been selectively cut, creating a diverse mixture of cover, openings, and habitat that can benefit deer, turkey, and small game. A main trail, drivable by truck, runs from the front of the property all the way to the back, providing access throughout the entire 160 acres and making it easier to reach hunting areas, explore the property, and enjoy recreational activities. A unique feature of the property is a dry sauna located on the back 80 acres that, with a little TLC, would be a healthful activity for all. Hunters will appreciate the property's established habitat and variety of game, with opportunities for whitetail deer, turkey, and small game. The combination of mature, wooded areas, selectively cut acreage, water, and surrounding forest creates a diverse environment for wildlife. The property also offers an impressive collection of improvements. The 30' x 40' x 10' pole barn features a concrete floor, electricity, insulated walls, and a workshop, providing excellent space for equipment, ATVs, hunting gear, recreational vehicles, and projects. It is ideally suited to, and is used currently as, a well-utilized bonus room and hunting prep space. A separate steel-sided utility building provides additional storage and workspace. Please call and let's get you out exploring this recreational retreat.
