1046 S. Bailey Lake Ave , Gladwin, MI 48624(Clare County)

In the land business, it is not often that you walk a property that leaves you in awe. It's not often you walk a property that gets better each time you go back and check pretty much every possible box for the outdoorsman or nature lover. This Farm is one of the rare gems that does just that. Welcome to 1046 S. Bailey Lake Ave. in Gladwin, MI. This farm has been in the same family for many years. The Homestead consists of a 3-bedroom 2-bath, farmhouse that, with some TLC, could easily be brought back to life. There is a large barn that could be used to store toys and equipment, and a smaller shed/garage for additional tool storage. There are approximately 15 acres +/- of tillable currently being farmed and are in beans for the 2025 crop year.The property itself has tremendous potential for the outdoorsman or nature lover. Trails and roads throughout the property, with a road along the entire North border of the parcel, make this one set up perfectly for the deer hunter from an access perspective. There are open areas on the farm that would be absolutely awesome food plot locations for the hunter. There are several small swails and thick bedding areas surrounded by big mature rolling timber with some awesome oak ridges throughout. This would also be a great farm for someone with horses or cattle as well. The location is also perfect on the blacktop of Bailey Lake Road, just off of M-61, and only minutes from the town of Gladwin, where you have all the amenities you need close by.In the Southwest corner of the property is Nestor Lake. There is a road that takes you through the property right to the lake, where you can enjoy fishing, kayaking, or even set up a bonfire area to enjoy the views with family. The east bank of the lake is a big Ridge that would make an awesome spot to build a home or cabin overlooking the lake below.From a hunting perspective, it does not get much better; the deer sign is incredible. Rubs and scrapes are still evident from last fall, and there are runways beaten down like cattle paths through the entire property. From a hunting perspective, this property has the potential to be truly special. The deer are there already. In fact, one evening recently, while walking the property, I walked up on several deer, including a young buck in velvet already outside his ears (See listing pics), and then as I came back around to the bean field, there were already 20+ deer feeding in the beans well before sunset. Add some food plots and a couple of sanctuary areas, and this one will be as good as it gets from a trophy deer perspective. Not to mention, there are all larger tracts surrounding which also keep the pressure to a minimum, allowing bucks to get to maturity. Besides the deer, there are also lots of turkey, small game, coyote, bobcat, and black bear, to name a few. The lake attracts some ducks and geese as well and provides excellent fishing.This is a one of a kind truly special legacy farm that will be passed onto the new owner to make memories of their own into the future. Parcels like this do not come along often. Call Listing agent Jeff Chilman today for your own private tour of this amazing property.
