228.92± Acres Across Two Recreational Hunting Parcels In Ogemaw And Arenac Counties

An opportunity to own 228.92 ± total acres of recreational and hunting land located between southern Ogemaw County and northern Arenac County in Alger, Michigan. This offering combines two separate properties totaling 160 ± acres and 68.92 ± acres that are located within close proximity of each other. The properties do not physically connect and are separated by one parcel in between, however each tract maintains its own independent access and recreational setup. Together, the combination creates a diverse northern Michigan land offering with multiple habitat types, established improvements, varied hunting opportunities, and the ability to manage different sections of ground independently throughout the season.

The overall layout provides a strong mix of habitat diversity and recreational flexibility. Surrounding agricultural fields, lowland cover, hardwood ridges, pine stands, regenerating browse, food plots, internal trail systems, and water sources all contribute to wildlife activity throughout both properties. The separation between the parcels also creates flexibility for managing different hunting pressure, stand locations, access routes, and wildlife movement patterns across the acreage. Deer, turkey, grouse, and other wildlife common to the area utilize the combination of thick bedding cover, transition areas, mast-producing hardwoods, and nearby agricultural food sources.

The primary 160 ± acre tract, known as Acorn Ridge, is located in southern Ogemaw County and features a well-developed recreational and hunting camp setup designed for year-round use. The centerpiece of the property is a finished 60x40 barndominium constructed in 2014 and positioned in a scenic setting surrounded by mature pine and hardwood trees. The building is well suited for group use and hunting camp operations with four second-floor bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, two lounge areas, kitchen space, laundry area, heated garage space, dual 16-foot overhead doors, and concrete flooring. Heating is provided through individual electric heat units along with two wood stoves. Additional recent updates include a new instant hot water heater. A covered 16x30 patio overlooks the pond and surrounding setting, creating additional gathering space for seasonal use.

Near the lodge is a stocked pond measuring approximately one-half acre and roughly 15 feet deep with multiple aerators installed to help maintain pond conditions and fish health. A secondary beaver pond located deeper within the property further enhances wildlife habitat and recreational characteristics. An additional camper power hookup allows space for overflow accommodations or seasonal camper use.

The land throughout Acorn Ridge offers a diverse habitat mixture including mature hardwood ridges with strong acorn production, white pine cover, thicker lowland bedding areas, and regenerating browse habitat. Several established food plots are already positioned throughout the property alongside multiple hunting blinds and a developed shooting range. Numerous deer trails, rubs, and scrapes are visible throughout the acreage. Several apple and fruit trees have also been planted to help support wildlife activity. An established internal trail system allows access throughout the property to food plots, blinds, interior hunting locations, and recreational areas.

A partial recent timber harvest was completed on the 160 ± acre tract as part of the property's forest management plan. The harvest work has helped create increased ground-level cover, additional browse conditions, edge habitat, and age diversity throughout portions of the timber stands while also supporting long-term forest health and future habitat management.

The additional 68.92 ± acre tract located in Arenac County provides another well-established recreational setup with strong hunting characteristics and separate access. A gated entrance leads into a developed trail system that provides access throughout the property to established food plots, hunting blinds, transition areas, and interior hunting locations. Thick regeneration growth creates strong bedding and holding cover, while sections of open timber provide visibility and natural travel corridors. The property layout offers multiple pinch points and setup locations that can support a variety of hunting strategies throughout the season.

Large agricultural fields border portions of the 68.92 ± acre tract and help contribute additional nearby food sources for wildlife movement through the area. Toward the front of the property is an open area that presents opportunity for a future cabin site, seasonal camp setup, or staging area for recreational use.

Both properties are currently enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program, which can provide substantial property tax benefits to future owners if they choose to continue enrollment in the program. In addition to potential tax savings, the program supports long-term timber management, habitat improvement, and responsible land stewardship.

Located just off M-33 with convenient access to I-75, the properties provide a balance of accessibility, privacy, and recreational usability. The combination of total acreage, established camp improvements, habitat diversity, water features, surrounding agriculture, trail systems, and separate hunting setups creates a versatile northern Michigan recreational land opportunity.
