Description

Located in Howell Township within the Howell School District, this 33.26± acre Livingston County property delivers a rare combination of modern home construction, strategicaly developed wildlife habitat, and significant frontage along the Red Cedar River. Designed for both comfortable living and serious recreational use, this property stands out as a highly functional and well-equipped rural offering in southern Michigan. The home, built in 2018, offers approximately 2,333± square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a full basement. The interior features a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, standard cabinetry, and a spacious island that provides additional prep space and seating. A walk-in pantry offers ample storage , and stainless appliances from Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and LG are included. The main living area includes a propane fireplace, creating a warm and functional gathering space. The primary suite includes a walk-in tile shower, soaking tub, and double vanity, while the guest bathroom features a fiberglass tub and shower combination. Flooring throughout the home includes vinyl plank, tile, and carpet on the main level, with carpet and tile upstairs and a concrete basement. Additional interior features include a dedicated office, walk-in closets, and a mudroom with first-floor laundry. The mudroom also includes a dog wash station and built-in storage, adding practical functionality for everyday use. Ceiling heights are 9 feet on the main level, 8 feet upstairs, and 8 feet in the basement. There is a bonus room that could possibly be finished out to create an additional bedroom. Mechanical systems include a 2019 Trane furnace and central air system, along with a Rheem Marathon water heater with a lifetime tank warranty. The home is equipped with both a water softener and filtration system. Construction details include spray foam insulation, a combination of 2x4 and 2x6 wall construction, and casement windows. Utilities include propane and electric service, along with Verizon internet providing approximately 90 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speeds. The land which is a large peninsula of river bottom habitat, has been extensively improved to support wildlife and recreational use. With approximately 2,400 feet of frontage along the Red Cedar River, the property forms a true peninsula of river-bottom habitat - widely considered one of the most coveted setups in whitetail hunting. As surrounding hunting pressure increases and neighboring agricultural fields are harvested or reduced, deer naturally concentrate in these secure, isolated environments. This is not a seasonal pattern; the property consistently holds deer year-round. Acres of switchgrass and food plots have been established, including approximately a quarter mile of switchgrass screening to support strategic access. Additional habitat improvements include approximately 400 Norway spruce planted for long-term cover and screening, along with roughly 400 hybrid willows that enhance bedding areas and travel corridors. The property is set up for immediate hunting success with four elevated, heated blinds positioned in key locations. Access routes have been carefully planned and refined to allow hunting in multiple wind conditions while minimizing pressure on wildlife. The current owner reports hunting approximately 24 days each season and observing multiple bucks on 23 of those 24 sits--an exceptional and consistent track record that speaks to the strength of the habitat and layout. Further validating the quality of the land, the property was selected to host a habitat tour for the Michigan Quality Deer Habitat group in 2021, highlighting the thoughtful design and execution of its wildlife improvements. The property features over one mile of maintained trails, providing excellent access for ATV use, land management, and year-round recreation. A secluded river trail adds to the overall usability and enjoyment of the land. A 0.35± acre pond provides additional recreational value and wildlife support. While not stocked, it holds fish naturally and attracts waterfowl and other wildlife. The property also offers opportunities for turkey, rabbit, squirrel, and waterfowl hunting, along with trapping potential for species such as coyote, raccoon, fox, muskrat, mink, and occasional beaver or otter. Seasonal morel mushrooms have also been found on the property, further adding to its recreational appeal. Outdoor features include vinyl and brick siding, a 2019 asphalt roof, landscaped rock borders, a 6-foot firepit area, and a dedicated shooting lane. Outbuildings are well-equipped and add significant functionality. The 30x50 pole barn includes LED lighting, a concrete floor, electric service, and a recently installed two-post automotive lift with updated concrete foundation in 2024. The 24x32 barn features an insulated loft and electric service, with 100-amp service to the barn and 60-amp service to the pole barn. Additional structures include a storage barn and four elevated heated hunting blinds. Conveniently located near Howell, with access to Lansing and Ann Arbor, this property offers a balance of privacy and accessibility. It is well-suited for buyers seeking a primary residence, recreational retreat, or a highly developed hunting property with immediate usability. The current ownership highlights the exceptional wildlife activity and the ability to create lasting outdoor experiences. From its rare peninsula layout and proven hunting history to the extensive habitat work and river frontage, this property is designed to perform at a high level and provide long-term enjoyment.
