Legacy recreational farms with decades of intentional habitat management rarely reach the open market, and this approximately 93+/- acre tract in Calhoun County, Michigan offers an established land management system that is ready for its next owner. Known as Ben's Farm, this property has been owned and carefully managed for nearly 40 years with a primary focus on whitetail deer, wild turkey and upland wildlife habitat. The defining characteristic of this property is the diversity and intentional layout. Rather than relying on a single land type, the farm combines native grasses, established hardwood timber, food plots, trails and early successional cover to create a varied landscape throughout the 93+/- acres. Annual maintenance of the native grass areas provide screens along all portions of the road frontage while also contributing valuable nesting and cover habitat.The combination of mature timber, thick sanctuary cover, agricultural surroundings and managed openings creates a recreational property with multiple habitat types to attract, grow, and hold Whitetails! Wildlife habitat management has been a long-term priority here. The current ownership has worked with conservation organizations including QDMA, Pheasants Forever and Ducks Unlimited to develop and maintain a landscape designed around wildlife habitat, movement and cover. The surrounding agriculture provides additional food sources outside the property, while the farm itself offers a combination of cover, timber, food plots and land feature funnels. These conditions can be particularly valuable to hunters looking to establish a long-term hunting property with an existing management foundation. The whitetail component is one of the most significant features of Ben's Farm. Selective harvest practices have been implemented over approximately four decades, with the goal of maintaining a quality age structure. A network of trails and habitat transitions helps guide deer movement through the property, with several identified pinch points and hunting loca Current use is Agricultural,Farm,Hunting,Recreational.
