This exceptional 773.42-acre property stands as one of Michigan’s legacy estates for hunting, recreation, and investment. Located in Arenac County just 3 miles from Au Gres, the Perch Fishing Capital of Michigan, this property offers the rare combination of total privacy and proximity to high-class Lake Huron recreation. Owners can enjoy the peace and quiet of their own private land while being close enough to explore boating, fishing, and the many offerings of Michigan’s Great Lakes region. Spanning across a diverse landscape, the property features a balanced mix of hardwoods including oaks and maples, thick lowland bedding areas, and open ground with several established food plots. A well-designed trail system and multiple elevated blinds provide seamless access to every corner of the land, creating an environment well-suited for whitetail, turkey, and other game.
Generations of management have gone into this property, with a proven history of producing success year after year. At the heart of the estate is a 3,600-square-foot barndominium lodge, purpose-built to accommodate large groups. The lodge offers 10 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a spacious open dining and living area designed for gathering. An attached garage and shop space with dual 16’ overhead doors provide functionality for equipment, gear, and vehicles. Beyond hunting and recreation, the lodge has proven rental and investment potential, with a track record of generating income through vacation rentals and gatherings. The property is currently enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program (QFP), providing valuable tax benefits while also supporting sustainable forest management and habitat improvement. Two ponds further add to the year-round recreational appeal, offering opportunities for fishing, swimming, or simple relaxation by the water. Whether for private use, corporate retreats, or as an investment-grade holding, this estate represents a rare opportunity to own a large, well-managed property with income potential in Central Michigan.

Research Parcel InformationI learned how to appreciate and respect the land in Western Pennsylvania. Hunting was a huge family function with my father and two brothers. I have now passed those traditions on to my three sons who make their living hunting and fishing. I sold my main business in 2004, moved to Northern Michigan and bought a deer farm. For 10 years, we lived in the middle of close to 500 deer everyday. I developed a unique understanding of the whitetail deer over that time. Owning this gave me first hand knowledge of what the land and waters truly provide for us and the animals that we all love.
