This 80± acre recreational property in the Leroy area of Lake County offers a well-maintained combination of comfortable lodging, mature timber, wildlife habitat, and established land improvements. Owned and cared for by the same owner for more than 40 years, the property reflects a long-term commitment to stewardship and maintenance. The centerpiece of the property is a thoughtfully designed cabin that serves as a comfortable base camp for hunting, recreation, and seasonal enjoyment. The cabin features a main-floor primary bedroom with an attached full bathroom, while the upper loft area provides two additional bedrooms and a second full bath. The full kitchen includes a dishwasher, and the home is equipped with a washer and dryer for extended stays. Sliding glass doors provide views of the surrounding woods and natural landscape. Additional cabin amenities include a wood stove, dedicated wood storage room, jacuzzi tub, recently installed backup generator, and an air exchange system designed to help maintain fresh interior air while the property is unattended. A full unfinished basement offers substantial storage space and includes a vault area. Two covered porches provide outdoor living space and opportunities to enjoy the property's natural setting throughout the year. The property is being offered as a turn-key recreational retreat, with the exception of the seller's personal effects. This allows the next owner to immediately begin enjoying the property and its extensive improvements with minimal transition. Outside, a separate pole barn with a concrete floor provides additional storage and utility space. The property also includes an RV hookup and concrete slab parking area, making it easy to accommodate additional guests or equipment. The land itself is well suited for hunting and outdoor recreation. Five established food plots are strategically positioned throughout the acreage, helping support local wildlife populations. An extensive two-track trail system provides access across the property, allowing convenient travel to hunting locations, food plots, timber stands, and natural features. The timber component is highlighted by impressive mature white pines along with scattered oak trees that contribute both habitat diversity and seasonal food sources for wildlife. A large beaver pond serves as a focal point for wildlife activity and creates additional habitat for waterfowl, deer, and numerous other species. Fruit trees further enhance the property's habitat value while adding seasonal interest. The combination of mature forest cover, established food sources, water features, and internal access creates a property that has been carefully developed and maintained for outdoor enjoyment. Whether utilized as a hunting retreat, recreational getaway, family gathering place, or a private northern Michigan escape, the improvements and land management practices are evident throughout the property. Properties that combine a comfortable cabin, quality outbuildings, established wildlife habitat improvements, mature timber, and long-term ownership history are increasingly difficult to find. This offering presents an opportunity to acquire a turnkey recreational property with extensive infrastructure already in place and a landscape that has been maintained with care over several decades.
