Welcome to 8114 E 72nd Street, a true generational retreat nestled in the heart of Michigan's outdoor paradise. This extraordinary 60+ acres of prime land in Croton Township sits midway between the charming town of Howard City and the vibrant community of Newaygo, placing you in the middle of everything that makes ''Up North'' Michigan living so desirable - without ever leaving home. Just three miles from downtown Croton, you're minutes away from one of Michigan's most beloved kayaking and canoeing destinations, with easy access to the Little Muskegon River, Croton Dam, and Croton Pond, all offering world-class fishing, swimming beaches, a public campground, and waterfront recreation. To the east lies Newaygo, known for its scenic riverwalk, quaint shops, and local eateries. From your doorstep, explore an extensive network of ORV and snowmobile trails, mountain biking routes, and hiking paths through the Manistee National Forest, which borders your property with 130 acres of rarely accessed public land and Little Muskegon River frontage. This nature lover's dream has been carefully managed for wildlife and conservation, and is home to thriving populations of deer, turkey, and other game. A select timber cut in 2021 yielded over $50,000 in profit, with another expected by 2031, offering income potential alongside the natural beauty. Trails weave through the property, making it ideal for hiking, hunting, or simply escaping into your own forest sanctuary. Whether you're seeking a private getaway, an outdoor recreation basecamp, or create a multi-generational homestead, 8114 E 72nd Street delivers peace, privacy, and limitless possibilities. Listen to the wind in the trees and the songs of the forest, far from the noise of the city but close to every adventure nature has to offer.
