160± Acres | Former Game Ranch | Fenced Hunting Property | Clare County MI

This 160± acre Clare County property presents a rare opportunity to own a large, private tract with a proven history as a former game ranch. Previously home to deer, elk, and hogs, the property was designed and utilized for managed wildlife, offering a unique foundation that is difficult to replicate in today’s market. Approximately 70% of the property is fenced, featuring a combination of 4-foot woven wire perimeter fencing and 8-foot interior deer fencing. This existing infrastructure provides immediate value for buyers interested in creating or re-establishing a controlled hunting environment or private recreational retreat. The property offers approximately a half mile of road frontage along Washington/Lyle Road, with an established internal road providing access deep into the parcel. The layout and access make the entire property highly usable for hunting, recreation, or future improvements. The land is predominantly wooded with a strong mix of cover, supporting excellent habitat for deer and other wildlife. In addition to its recreational appeal, the property offers multiple potential building sites, including an existing driveway along the east boundary leading to a suitable location for a home or cabin. While the property is being offered as a single 160± acre parcel, its layout and access provide strong potential for a future land division into two 80± acre parcels, subject to township and municipal approvals. Additional Acreage Opportunity: An additional 80± acre parcel is available directly across the road in Gladwin County, offering a unique opportunity to expand the total footprint to approximately 240± acres. The neighboring parcel features an established trail system and existing hunting setups, complementing the size, privacy, and infrastructure of the 160± acre tract. Both parcels may be purchased individually or together, depending on buyer preference. This property offers flexibility for a variety of uses, including hunting, recreation, long-term investment, or potential future development. Large tracts with existing infrastructure, access, and proven recreational history like this are increasingly difficult to find in Central Michigan—especially with the added opportunity to expand with adjacent acreage.
