    About this House

    37.86 +/- Acres on the Dowagiac River — A Private Retreat Near Niles
    Some properties you have to talk yourself into. This one sells itself the moment you walk the trail down to the water. 37.86 +/- acres of mixed hardwoods and tillable ground, over 2,000 feet of frontage on the Dowagiac River, and a setting that feels a world away — even though Niles is right around the corner.
    Property Highlights
    37.86 +/- acres — a mix of mature hardwood forest and open ground, giving you both cover and usable acreage
    2,000+ feet of Dowagiac River frontage — a rare amount of river footage on a property this size
    11 +/- acres tillable — income potential, food plot ground, or simply open space to shape as you see fit
    A trail down to the river — a smooth, well-established path takes you from the treetops down through beautiful terrain to the water's edge, where the sound of the current takes over
    Potential to build — bring your dreams; this property is ready for a homesite, cabin, or getaway
    Life on the Dowagiac River
    This stretch of the Dowagiac is the real deal — cool, spring-fed water that fishes more like a northern Michigan trout stream than anything you'd expect this far south. Frontage like this opens the door to:
    Trout, salmon, and bass fishing right from your own property
    Canoeing and kayaking on a river built for it
    A public boat launch approximately 1.3 miles upriver, giving you easy access to launch and explore even more water
    Wildlife and the Woods
    The hardwoods here don't just look good — they produce. Deer and turkey sign is abundant, with a proven track record of success. Come spring, the forest floor delivers a genuine mushroom bounty for anyone who knows where to look.
    Location
    Close enough to Niles, Michigan for convenience, far enough to disappear. This property delivers the privacy and sanctuary of river and woods without giving up easy access to town — the best of both worlds.

      "There is only the Dial a Ride! No Uber, I think Lyft may come from another town for a fee. My commute is fine as I have a car. However if I were to have transportation problems, I would be in trouble. There is nothing from Niles to other towns. If there were, the prices would be more than a person could pay. "

      "Loud neighbors. There are neighbors in this neighborhood that have race cars that drive fast and you can hear from many block always. There is also one with a dirt bike track in their back and side yard that comes up on the side walk. I would be worried walking or riding bikes on the sidewalk in fear of being creamed by a dirt bike."

      "This is the best area to live in Niles. This region is a little peninsula below the St. Joseph river, and since there is no through traffic, there is a lot of privacy. It is close to the bypass in terms of access, but far enough so that you don't hear road noise. It's one of the few areas where the speed limits are low, and most people don't speed. That makes the area very walkable, which was essential to us in terms of having a safe, comfortable place to walk with little kids. Most areas around SW Michigan don't have that. The Morris Farm is beautiful to have right nearby, as is their cute little wedding chapel. There are all sorts of homes here, from contemporary subdivisions to larger lots with older homes. Commuting-wise we do work in both St. Joseph and South Bend/Mishawaka, the latter being closer and very convenient to access. So we have privacy, beautiful countryside, the enjoyment of good neighbors, but convenience to local shopping, groceries, etc. This is the place I recommend for people who work in South Bend but don't want to live right in the heart of it all."
