44.657 Acres-Balk Rd

Land Description

44.657 acres of primarily rolling wooded ground located between Centreville and Sturgis, Michigan, 2 miles South of Lake Templene. The property is covered with wildlife, including deer, turkey, small game, and other animals. It is located in one of the best areas of St. Joseph County, Michigan for quality deer, and has been managed the last 3+ years for trophy Whitetails. 2 open areas in the middle of the woods provide areas for food plots to attract and hold deer and turkey, with an elevated box blind overlooking the larger food plot. There is an excellent trail system that works its way around the outer edge of the property allowing easy access to the entire property. There is a native American Chestnut tree on the property, which is very rare. Hybrid chestnut trees have also been planted to provide future food source for the wildlife. At the front of the property there is a 24x40 log constructed storage barn that is very nice. There is also plenty of room to build a future home on the area by the barn. Numerous 140 + deer have been taken in this area, and are common every year for the area. The property is enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program with the State of Michigan, which offers reduced property taxes for the property owner. Sturgis is only about 5 minutes away, and has all the amenities someone could want. Highly desired 1050 acre Lake Templene is just a short distance North of the property, offering excellent fishing, and waterfront sports along with additional lakes in the surrounding area. This is one of the nicest turn key recreational properties in the area for the person looking for acreage in Southwest Michigan. Acreage like this in this area of Michigan is rarely available.
