About this House
If you've been searching for an affordable Northern Michigan hunting property with everything already in place, this 80-acre gem east of West Branch, just outside Prescott, deserves a close look. Tucked away at the end of a quiet, dead-end road and accessed by a long, well-maintained private drive, this property offers the seclusion, privacy, and habitat that serious hunters dream about.
Surrounded by agricultural fields in every direction, this parcel serves as the primary sanctuary and bedding cover for local wildlife. With food all around the property and some of the best cover in the area, deer, turkey, bear, and countless other species naturally funnel through and spend time on this land.

A solid cabin waiting for the next owner to complete the interior to their own taste and vision. The structure is extremely well built and provides an outstanding foundation for a future hunting camp, weekend getaway, or recreational retreat.
Beyond the property itself, the location places you in the heart of Northern Michigan's outdoor recreation. Enjoy easy access to countless rivers, inland lakes, state trails, campgrounds, golf courses, and year-round outdoor activities throughout the West Branch area.
