6153 S Branch Road, Branch, MI 49402

Located in Branch, Michigan, this 85.04 ± acre property offers many of the features buyers look for in a recreational tract. Mature timber, established trails, natural openings, gently rolling terrain, and abundant wildlife sign are found throughout the property. Adding to its appeal, the property borders thousands of acres of Manistee National Forest and is located in close proximity to the Pere Marquette River. Together, these features create a property well suited for hunting, recreation, and year-round outdoor enjoyment. As you make your way through the property, it's easy to appreciate the variety it offers. A well-established trail system provides access throughout much of the acreage, winding through mature stands of white oak, red oak, maple, and pine. The slightly rolling terrain creates natural changes in the landscape and helps break up the property into a mix of open timber, thicker cover, and natural openings. One of the things that stood out during a recent tour was the amount of wildlife sign throughout the property. Numerous deer trails, active scrapes, and heavily traveled corridors were observed across the acreage, showing consistent wildlife activity. The combination of cover, browse, timber, and natural openings creates the type of diversity many hunters look for. Several of the existing openings could also be easily expanded into food plots, adding another layer of potential for those looking to further improve the property over time. The property also offers several features that add flexibility for future use. An older cabin once occupied the property, though the structure has since fallen in. A well remains on site, and power was previously run to the cabin location. Several areas throughout the property appear well suited for a future cabin, campsite, or home location, subject to township approval and applicable permitting requirements. Access is provided via paved road frontage, allowing convenient year-round entry to the property. Location is another feature that helps set this property apart. Nearly half of the northern boundary adjoins the Manistee National Forest, providing direct access to thousands of acres of additional public land for hunting, hiking, and outdoor recreation. The Pere Marquette River is located approximately 1.5 ± miles north of the property, offering convenient access to fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and additional recreational opportunities. Conveniently located near Branch, Baldwin, and Ludington, the property provides a rural setting while remaining within reasonable driving distance of area amenities and services. The property is also located approximately 90 ± miles north of Grand Rapids, making it an accessible destination for weekend recreation, hunting trips, and outdoor getaways.
