Located in southern Michigan within Monroe County, this 59.6A± acre hunting and recreational property in Petersburg presents a rare opportunity to own a well-balanced tract of land with established habitat, strong wildlife presence, and long-term improvement potential. Situated on Wells Road in Summerfield Township, this surveyed Parcel B offers a combination of privacy, accessibility and versatility that is increasingly difficult to find in Southern Michigan.The property is primarily timbered, featuring mature hardwoods that provide both immediate habitat value and potential future timber income. The wooded acreage is complemented by an established internal trail system, allowing for easy navigation throughout the property for hunting, scouting, ATV use, or general recreation. Natural cover and terrain transitions create ideal travel corridors and bedding areas that support a healthy population of whitetail deer, wild turkey and other native wildlife.One of the most attractive features of this tract is the existing open ground. With over 5 acres of established food plot areas already in place, buyers have a strong foundation for developing a highly effective hunting property. These openings can be maintained as-is or expanded to enhance wildlife attraction, improve sight lines, and create strategic stand locations. There is also potential to selectively harvest timber in designated areas to further increase plantable acreage, promote new growth and improve overall habitat diversity.This property also offers strong potential as an equestrian property. It borders an established horse property along the north boundary, adding to the rural character and compatibility for horse use. The existing trail system that winds through the timber provides excellent riding conditions, with natural footing, shade from mature hardwoods, and a layout that allows for extended rides across the property. The combination of wooded cover, open ground, and accessible terrain creates an ideal setting for trail riding, training, or developing a private equestrian setup, subject to township approval.The soil composition across the property includes Gilford sandy loam, Spinks loamy sand, Ottokee fine sand and Thetford loamy sand. This blend supports the current mix of timber and open ground while offering flexibility for additional land improvements. Buyers considering expanding food plots, installing a pond, or developing portions of the property should consult with local professionals to confirm suitability for their intended use.In addition to its recreational value, the property offers practical future use potential. The front portion of the land features more open terrain that may serve as a potential build site for a home, cabin, or pole barn, subject to township approvals. This area provides convenient road access while maintaining separation from the more secluded wooded acreage behind it, allowing for both usability and privacy.The seller has indicated that marketable timber may be present on the property; however, no formal timber evaluation has been completed. Buyers interested in timber value or forest management should conduct their own inspections with a qualified forester to determine species composition, volume, and potential return.This property is well-suited for a wide range of buyers, including those seeking a dedicated hunting property, recreational retreat, future homesite, or long-term land investment. Large parcels with this combination of timber, established food plots, trail access, wildlife habitat and development flexibility are increasingly limited in Monroe County.All buyers should verify zoning, building requirements, access permits, soil conditions, and intended land use with Summerfield Township or appropriate professionals.
