Description

A rare opportunity to own a true multi-use recreational and rural lifestyle property in Branch County, Michigan. Located at 198 W Chicago Rd in Coldwater within Batavia Township, this 59 acre tract offers the kind of diversity, usability, and infrastructure that serious land buyers look for but rarely find. Nestled back off the road and screened by conifers sits this one of a kind home featuring world class views of your acreage, wildlife habitat, meandering creek, and ponds! The land sets the tone from the moment you enter the property with approximately 5 to 7 acres of hay field which provide immediate usability for income, food plots, or small-scale farming. Meanwhile, the balance of the acreage consists of a highly recreational mix of timber, wetland, and natural habitat. This diversity creates strong edge, defined travel corridors, and natural bedding areas that consistently support healthy populations of whitetail deer, wild turkey, and small game.Water is a major asset here.Two ponds combined with a creek system running through the property provide a year-round water source that enhances wildlife movement and holding capacity. These features not only improve hunting potential but also add recreational value and visual appeal throughout the seasons. The layout of the land offers excellent opportunities for strategic stand placement, habitat improvement, and long-term land management. One of the standout features of this property is the extensive outbuilding infrastructure, totaling over 5,200 square feet. The primary pole barn offers approximately 2,240 square feet with around 16-foot height and was previously equipped with heat, supporting the potential for year-round use. A second pole barn, built in 2017, provides an additional 1,920 square feet with heating as well. This level of infrastructure supports a wide range of uses, including hobby farming, equipment storage, or business operations from home. Positioned within this setting is a well-built 3,151 square foot home constructed in 2005. Designed w
