0 Ward Rd, Sterling, MI 48659

This 40± acre Arenac County property offers a well-rounded setup for hunting and outdoor recreation, with an established trail system, varied cover, an existing food plot, three hunting blinds, and a 1.5± acre pond surrounded by large timber and cattails. From the front of the property, the acreage begins with wooded timber and a good balance of thicker cover. A groomed trail system provides access through the property and connects the different features of the land. The trails make it easier to move between hunting locations, access the pond, and reach all areas of the property. As you work farther into the property, the timber and more dense cover transition toward a more open timber where an established food plot is located towards the south line. There are currently multiple hunting blinds positioned throughout the property, providing existing setups that can be used as they are or incorporated into future habitat and hunting improvements. The combination of timber, dense pockets of cover, vegetation, and the food plot area creates several different types of habitat within the 40± acres. One of the main features of the property is the 1.5± acre pond. as you veer off the main trail you enter into an established clearing that provides a nice area for camping, picnics, or simply spending time at the property. A large windmill and a small dock are also located on the pond and add unique features to the setting. Looking across, a mix of tall hardwood timber and pine surround portions of the backdrop, while cattails and natural vegetation create a defined border along the shoreline. The pond adds another habitat feature to the acreage while also creating a scenic area within the property. Its location among the timber and surrounding cover gives this portion of the land a different feel from the more heavily wooded sections. Together with the pond and trail system, this area provides a natural gathering point while leaving the majority of the acreage available for hunting and recreation. Thousands of acres of State land are located across the road from the northwest corner of the property, providing additional public hunting and recreational opportunities. The property already has much of the basic infrastructure someone would look for in a recreational tract. Trails are established, blinds are in place, a food plot area has been developed, and access throughout the acreage has been maintained. At the same time, there is still room for a future owner to adjust hunting setups, expand habitat improvements, develop additional food sources, or manage the timber and cover based on their own goals for the land. For someone looking for a manageable piece of hunting and recreational ground in Arenac County, this 40± acre parcel provides a combination of wooded acreage, thick cover, open timber, water, established hunting improvements, and maintained access. The existing features provide a solid starting point, while the layout leaves additional potential for continued land and habitat improvements over time. *There are wells located on the property.
