97+/- Acres Of Wooded Hunting And Recreational Land With Development Potent

Located at 400 Coats Road in Orion Township, Oakland County, Michigan, this approximately 97.5 acre property offers substantial acreage in a location that combines recreational land, existing residential improvements, open ground, mature woods, wetlands, and potential future land-use opportunities. With convenient access to Lake Orion, Oxford, Clarkston, and the I-75 corridor, the property provides nearly 100 acres to consider for hunting, recreation, land management, equestrian use, investment, residential use, or potential development. The property consists of two parcels totaling approximately 97.5 acres. Oakland County property records identify the improved parcel at 400 Coats Road as approximately 15.07 acres, while the adjoining vacant parcel contains approximately 82.49 acres. The property is located within the Charter Township of Orion and Lake Orion Community Schools. After personally walking this property, I came away considerably more impressed with the layout than I was from reviewing photographs and aerial imagery. This is a property that is best understood from the ground. Once on the acreage, the amount of open and usable-looking ground becomes much more apparent, as does the relationship between the meadow areas, wooded portions, wetlands, existing improvements, and different sections of the property. The northern portion includes a significant amount of high meadowland, while the southern acreage transitions into a predominantly wooded setting with hardwoods, softwoods, additional meadow, and wetland areas. The result is a diverse property with multiple habitat and cover types rather than a single uniform tract of land. For the whitetail hunter, the approximately 97.5 acre layout offers an impressive combination of habitat types and land-management opportunities. While personally walking the property, I observed good deer numbers, providing firsthand evidence of current whitetail activity on the acreage. The seller also reports a history of trophy deer being taken from the property. The land transitions between open meadow, hardwoods, softwoods, wetland areas, and wooded edges, providing multiple areas to evaluate for stand locations, travel corridors, bedding cover, food plots, and habitat improvements. The amount of open ground observed while walking the property could provide opportunities to establish strategically located food sources while maintaining substantial wooded and wetland cover throughout other portions of the acreage. With nearly 100 acres to work with, a future owner can evaluate multiple hunting locations and access routes while developing a whitetail habitat and hunting strategy around the property's varied terrain and cover. For buyers searching for deer hunting land in Oakland County or Southeast Michigan, the combination of observed deer activity, the seller's reported trophy deer history, diverse habitat, and substantial acreage makes the hunting component an important feature of this property. The amount of open ground was one of the features that stood out during my property walk. Aerial imagery provides a useful overview, but it does not fully communicate how the acreage lays out when experienced in person. Walking the land provides a much better perspective on the relationship between the open areas and wooded sections and how the various portions of the property connect. The size and layout of this approximately 97.5 acre property also provide an opportunity to explore equestrian and recreational riding uses. During my property walk, the amount of open ground and the way the different areas connect stood out as features that could lend themselves to a future network of private riding trails. The combination of meadow, wooded areas, and transitions throughout the acreage could provide a varied riding experience while offering areas to evaluate for pasture, paddocks, a barn, or other equestrian improvements. The property's location in the Orion Township and Oxford area also provides access to additional regional equestrian and trail opportunities. Access is another noteworthy component. An established driveway from Coats Road leads into the improved portion of the acreage. During my property walk, I also observed a connection to the property from the Herrington Drive side, which the seller identified as an additional access point. Having different points from which to evaluate a property of this size adds another dimension when considering hunting access, recreational use, land management, and potential future land-use plans. The Herrington Drive side of the acreage also places a portion of the property adjacent to an established residential setting. Combined with the property's size, configuration, open acreage, and existing improvements, this creates another factor for buyers interested in investigating potential residential or development possibilities. Any future development, parcel division, or construction would be subject to applicable governmental approvals. Existing improvements add another layer of utility to the property. Oakland County records identify a 1,344-square-foot ranch structure. This structure is recorded as having three bedrooms, one full bathroom, one half bathroom, a full basement, gas forced-air heat, and an attached 672-square-foot garage. The reported year built is 1968. The presence of existing residential improvements provides another consideration when evaluating how the property could be used now and in the future. From a recreational perspective, the property offers room to explore a variety of outdoor uses. The combination of open acreage and wooded cover provides opportunities to consider hunting, hiking, equestrian riding, trail development, habitat management, food plots, and other permitted recreational activities. Wetland areas add another component to the overall habitat diversity, while the meadow and wooded portions provide distinct areas throughout the acreage. From a land-investment perspective, the property presents a different set of possibilities. Its approximately 97.5 acres, Orion Township location, existing improvements, open ground, wooded acreage, Coats Road entrance, and relationship to the Herrington Drive residential area provide several characteristics worth evaluating. Potential parcel divisions, additional building locations, residential use, or development opportunities may be explored subject to applicable zoning, engineering, permitting, wetland requirements, and governmental approvals. Location is another significant feature. The property is situated in Orion Township near Lake Orion, with convenient access to the surrounding Oxford and Clarkston areas. Major Oakland County road systems and the I-75 corridor are also within reach. This gives the property a combination of substantial acreage and recreational character while remaining connected to established Southeast Michigan communities. For buyers searching for Oakland County land for sale, Orion Township acreage, Lake Orion hunting land, Michigan recreational property, wooded acreage in Southeast Michigan, large acreage near Lake Orion, whitetail hunting property near I-75, equestrian land in Oakland County, or Michigan land with development potential, this property warrants an in-person look. The strongest impression from walking the property is that the aerial view tells only part of the story. Nearly 100 acres can look very different once you are standing on the ground and can see the open areas, woods, habitat transitions, wetlands, improvements, and overall layout firsthand. This property offers a combination of acreage, habitat diversity, recreational opportunities, existing improvements, and potential future uses that should be experienced in person to fully understand its character and possibilities.
