5950 Pleasant Lake Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48103

This property in under contract and pending. We are taking back up offers. We?re relocating our organic and regenerative growing operation, leaving 15 beautiful acres of land available for sale. Parcel includes forest, trails, organic growing spaces, meadows, and wildlife wetland / pond. It's completely wild and organic, and was farmed by the Kellogg/Fischer family until the 1960?s (pre-pesticides), and then left to grow wild until we purchased it in 2020. This carefully triangulated ag or recreation property is located in the award-winning Saline school district, with desirable Ann Arbor address and Lodi township taxes. While surrounded by Ann Arbor Greenbelt properties that have been mindfully maintained using organic practices (and will never be developed), you?ll enjoy the natural countryside vistas and the convenience of being centrally located on a paved road with easy access to Ann Arbor, Saline, and Dexter. Property has an existing well (drilled in 2021); access to electric and high speed internet with cable box at roadside; new farm gate, gravel driveway with culvert, and parking/turnaround space at the road. Eight existing 40-foot rows of organic matter will make the perfect home for your future plantings, along with ~10 additional acres ready for your ideal design. The NE 5 acres boast a beautiful park-like space under a canopy of mature trees, abutting a shared wetland pond that serves as a watering hole to ducks, geese, cranes, and more (the nature sounds at sunrise are unparalleled). Wild blackberries, rose hips, olive, and milkweed will grace your presence in all the right places, and the friendly Italian bees may be willing to stay with you if you?re interested in discussing the option with the resident bee-keeper (alternatively, the bees can be relocated without issue). Under the Michigan Right To Farm Act and GAAMPS, you are able to construct a barn and other infrastructure. In the past, Lodi Township has tried to claim that a barn cannot be constructed without a house, but once reminded of Right To Farm Act, they back off of their position. Soil types are Morley Loam (MoB), Miami Loam (MmB), Blount Loam (BbB) according to Washtenaw County soil maps. There is no approved area for a septic. The terrain and soil type in the southernmost 5 acres did not perc for a conventional septic system in the areas that we tested. WCHD suggested that the BbB soil type area in the northwest portion of the property is the best location for a conventional design, but it has not been explored.. Given this information, the property is priced as and is being sold as an ag/rec property.
