This property located near Olivet in Eaton County offers a combination of recreational land features, water frontage, and land management potential. The parcel includes over 1,000 feet of frontage along Indian Creek, which adds a natural water source and contributes to the overall diversity of the landscape. The property has recently undergone a timber harvest, resulting in a mix of open areas, regenerating vegetation, and remaining stands of timber. Tree species on the property include oak, maple and walnut. This combination of hardwoods and early successional growth provides varied cover and habitat structure. Buyers interested in land stewardship may find opportunities to guide future growth and habitat conditions through selective management practices. An established trail system runs throughout the property, allowing access to different areas of the land. These trails can be used for walking, recreational riding or accessing hunting locations. The layout supports access to the parcel and provides the ability to reach both wooded sections and open areas with relative ease. Existing food plot provides a great draw for local wildlife. This area, combined with gently rolling timbered ridges and water from the creek, contribute to a setting that can support wildlife such as deer and turkey, which are common in the region. The surrounding area includes larger privately held tracts that are managed for wildlife habitat, contributing to a landscape that supports consistent and above average wildlife populations. Planted pine trees are located along portions of the property and serve as thermal cover and a visual screen from the road. These plantings also contribute to long-term habitat structure and diversity. The mix of open ground, hardwood timber and conifer cover creates a range of conditions across the acreage. The property includes paved road frontage with a gated entrance, providing defined and controlled access. A well is located on the property, and there is potential for a future build site, subject to local zoning, permitting and buyer verification. These features may support a range of permitted uses, depending on individual plans and regulatory requirements. The location offers convenient access to Interstate 69, allowing travel from surrounding areas. Approximate distances include 5 miles to Olivet, 15 miles to Charlotte, 20 miles to Marshall and 30 miles to Lansing. This positioning supports accessibility while maintaining a rural setting. In addition to recreational use, the property may present investment considerations. The recent timber harvest has initiated a new growth cycle and future management can influence the long-term condition of the land. There is also mention of potential aggregate value, which would require proper evaluation, testing, and compliance with local and state regulations. The sale includes mineral rights associated with additional acreage, providing an added component of ownership. Buyers are encouraged to verify details regarding these rights and how they transfer with the property. Overall, this Eaton County parcel offers a mix of water frontage, timber resources, access, and habitat features. Prospective buyers should conduct due diligence regarding zoning, utilities, land use regulations and environmental considerations to ensure the property aligns with their intended use. Walking the property is recommended to fully understand its layout, features, and potential applications. Shawn or Mike would love to show you around!
