Premier 400+/- Acre Hunting & Recreational Estate - Gladwin County, Michigan Tucked into the heart of Mid-Michigan's premier recreational corridor in northeastern Gladwin County lies an extraordinary opportunity to own nearly 400 contiguous acres of managed, turnkey hunting and recreational land. This is a property that has been carefully developed over time with intention and purpose. Large, contiguous tracts of this size are increasingly rare in the Lower Peninsula, and even more uncommon is finding one so well-prepared for immediate use. Whether you are seeking a private hunting retreat, a legacy family property, or the foundation for a well-established hunting club, this offering delivers on every level. Exceptional Access & Trail System From the moment you enter the property off Wildwood Road - a paved county road providing reliable, year-round access - you will recognize the thoughtful planning that defines this land. A well-established and extensive trail system winds throughout the property, allowing easy access to nearly every corner. These trails are wide, maintained and suitable for ATVs or your truck, making it simple to navigate the full depth of the property, which stretches approximately one mile. A secondary access point from Miller Road at the opposite end provides additional flexibility for entry, exit, and strategic hunting access depending on wind conditions. This level of accessibility not only enhances the hunting experience but also makes the property highly enjoyable for recreational use year-round. Turnkey Hunting Property with Proven Success For the serious outdoorsman, this property is truly exceptional. Positioned throughout the acreage are over 20 strategically placed deer hunting blinds, many of which are elevated and enclosed for comfort and protection from the elements. These blinds have been carefully located based on years of hunting experience, with a strong track record of success tied to natural travel corridors, bedding areas and food sources. This is not a property where you need to start from scratch - the groundwork has already been done. Several established food plots are already in place, including a prominent 2-acre plot near the lodge as well as smaller clearings near select blind locations. These plots supplement the natural food sources on the property and play a critical role in attracting and holding wildlife throughout the year. The result is a healthy and diverse wildlife population, including: whitetail deer with a proven history of success; wild turkey; black bear; bobcat; coyote and fox; grouse; rabbit; squirrel; raccoon and other small game. The property offers exceptional habitat diversity, supporting wildlife in all seasons, including excellent fawning and brooding cover. Diverse Habitat & Natural Features The land is predominantly level, making it highly usable and easy to navigate, while still offering natural variation through a north-to-south running ravine and creek system. This feature enhances both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the property, acting as a natural travel corridor and water source for wildlife. The forest composition is a rich mix of native Michigan species, including: Pine and Spruce; Poplar and Birch Maple; Oak and Cedar; Tag-alder lowlands and small wetland pockets. This combination creates ideal conditions for bedding, feeding and cover, ensuring that wildlife not only passes through but remains on the property year-round. Spacious Lodge Built for Gathering At the center of the property sits a well-designed 1,800+/- square foot lodge, originally built in the early 1980s and thoughtfully laid out to accommodate large groups. This is more than just a cabin - it is a place to gather. The lodge comfortably sleeps 20+ people, featuring: Two private bedrooms; a bunkhouse-style room with several bunk beds; a large common living and lounge area; a spacious kitchen equipped with industrial-grade appliances; a generous dining area capable of ser
