Rolling Hills Orchard was a fully operational apple orchard at one time that sold apples to local farm markets and specialty retail stores & bakeries. This one-of-a-kind Recreational Property has been family owned for over 50 years. There are approximately 70 +/- acres of highly fertile tillable ground that can be farmed or leased to local farmers to generate income. The remainder of the property features approximately 45 +/- acres of beautiful heavily wooded hilly terrain and just over 30 +/- acres of apple trees. The largest pond was stocked years ago with Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass.

The land is a perfect mix of tillable ground, rolling pasture and mature hardwoods making this Pure Michigan paradise a wildlife haven! The cozy cabin overlooking one of the ponds has electricity, well & septic and boasts a majestic stone fireplace. The cabin is perfect for entertaining family and friends or relaxing on the deck with your morning cup of coffee and enjoying the solitude and beauty of Mother Nature!

The beautiful mature Pine, Oak and Maple Trees line the ridges of the hilly wooded terrain and give way to rolling pasture where the apple trees blossom every spring and give off a sweet fragrance that fills the springtime air. The Oak and Maple Trees change from an emerald green in the summertime to gorgeous vibrant colors in the early to mid-fall. The extra-large brick firepit behind the cabin is a great place to relax and take in the spectacular scenery of this special property.
