A Picturesque 80-Acre Homestead With 17 Acres Of Tillable North Of Escanaba

This property is more than comfortable, it is quaint and could easily find its way to the cover of any country living magazine. As you turn up the driveway your attention focuses on the house, slightly elevated above the other buildings. A garage, a sauna and a barn, that has been converted to storage, are within a short distance of the house. The addition on the north side of the barn has 12' x12' doors that allow for storing campers and equipment, drive-in/drive-out the other end of the barn. There are many, many apple trees planted around the grounds and a number of wild apple trees found at the edge of the field. In addition, pear trees, raspberries, rhubarb and cherry trees provide a wide array to pick from. The fields are found to the north and west of the house and barn, the contours of the land keep the fields dry for planting and putting in food plots. Trails throughout the property make access very easy. An former rail line provides a major trail across much of the property, guaranteeing access on the now grassy road. The east half of the property was once farmed, now intermittent pines, aspen and maple are found. The west parcel holds the buildings and approximately 17 tillable acres. You might not want to start farming again, but if you ever thought of putting in food plots it will be extremely easy here. And with the countless apple trees on the property, most of the deer in the township know how to find their way to this property. A hidden field is found in the distant corner of the west half of the property, perfect for planting crops to draw deer close and hold them. It has been many years since any logging was done here. The west half holds some monster maples and basswoods, the fields are lined with spruce and balsams. A number of oaks were planted years ago to provide acorns.
