This 15+ piece has a lot going for it, including, but not limited to, the following:
*Electricity runs its 1,000' western border and 650' northern border
*It is part of a country setting but less than 3 minutes from the grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, etc.
of the village of Decatur.
*Highway M-51 is less than a minute to the south and Interstate 94 is less than 10 minutes away.
*Public boat access to Lake of the Woods is half a mile due north of this parcel, and public beach access is about 3 minutes to the northeast.
*Besides the nearby Lake of the Woods boat launch and beach, there is a canoe rental business within 8 minutes for canoeing on the Dowagiac River and a beautiful park with a boat launch for Mill Pond 15 minutes away.
*Though perc tests have not been done on the property, the majority of the soil on the property is classified as a sandy loam, which is excellent for septic systems (and for crops and gardens); as well, houses border the property on its north side, which have septic systems.
*The property's borders are well defined--no guessing where your property line ends: streets border its north and west sides; a tree line borders its east side (included in this tree line is a monster red oak with a crown of 108' in width and a trunk with a diameter of 7'); and the Lake of the Woods Creek borders its south side.
*12 acres is leased out to a farmer until the growing season is over; the remaining acreage along the creek on the south will be yours to do with as you please immediately upon taking possession of the property.
I purchased this property with plans of reforesting parts of it and reestablishing a meadow on part of it, and have already planted 25 small trees near the creek; so if you live another 100 years, you should have more good sized trees on your new property.
