Welcome to Acorn Ridge, a 160 ± acre recreational and hunting property located in southern Ogemaw County near Alger, Michigan. This property offers a well-rounded combination of established wildlife habitat, functional improvements, diverse timber cover, and a fully equipped hunting camp setup designed for year-round use and recreation.The centerpiece of the property is a rustic finished 60x40 barndominium constructed in 2014 and positioned in a scenic setting surrounded by mature pine and hardwood trees. The building is well suited for group use and hunting camp operations, featuring four second-floor bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, two separate lounge areas, a kitchen, laundry area, and heated garage space with dual 16-foot overhead doors and concrete flooring. Heating is provided through individual electric heat units in each room along with two wood stoves. Additional recent updates include a new instant hot water heater. A covered 16x30 patio provides additional outdoor gathering space overlooking the pond and surrounding setting.Near the lodge sits a stocked pond measuring approximately one-half acre and roughly 15 feet deep. The pond is equipped with multiple aerators designed to help maintain fish health and overall pond conditions. An additional camper power hookup provides overflow accommodations for guests or seasonal use.The land itself offers a highly diverse mix of habitat types that support deer, turkey, grouse, and other wildlife common to the area. Large hardwood ridges provide natural mast production with abundant acorn sources, while thicker lowland cover and regenerating browse areas create strong bedding and security habitat. White pine stands throughout the property add additional cover diversity and seasonal protection. The property contains visible deer trails, rubs, scrapes, and several established food plot locations positioned throughout the acreage. Multiple elevated blinds and a shooting range are already in place, creating a functional recreational setup for immediate use. A secondary beaver pond further enhances the propertys wildlife habitat and recreational characteristics. Several apple and fruit trees have also been planted throughout portions of the property to help support wildlife activity. An established trail system allows access throughout the property to major hunting locations, food plot areas, blinds, and interior sections of the land.The property is currently enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program, and a partial recent timber harvest was completed as part of the management plan with long-term wildlife habitat and forest health in mind. The harvest work will create increased ground-level cover, improved browse conditions, and additional edge habitat that can benefit wildlife movement and bedding over time. The diverse age structure created by the harvest also supports future timber growth and overall habitat diversity. The Qualified Forest Program can provide substantial property tax benefits to future owners if they choose to continue enrollment in the program. In addition to the potential tax savings, the program supports long-term timber management, habitat improvement, and responsible stewardship of the property while helping maintain the overall health and productivity of the land for years to come.Located just a short distance off I-75 and M-33 on a seasonal road, the property offers convenient commute access.
