Rare 197+/- acre recreational tract in Manistee Township -- large, contiguous ground that almost never comes to market at this scale. Rolling wooded uplands of mature hardwoods and pine, a maintained two-track trail system running the property, and a cleared interior opening with electric already at the site. Established whitetail deer and turkey habitat, secluded interior cover, and a gated entrance off US-31/Chippewa Highway. Borders the Little River Casino Resort, minutes from the Manistee River, the Manistee National Forest, and Lake Michigan beaches at Orchard Beach State Park. Zone X, outside the 500-year floodplain.

Buyer to verify lease terms and status during due diligence. Hunt it, ride it, build on it, and let the land work for you.
