2305 14th Street, Hopkins, MI 49328
19.47 Acres | Watson Township | Allegan County
Offered at $249,900
If you have been searching for hunting land for sale in West Michigan, recreational acreage in Allegan County, or enough ground to create a small homestead, 2305 14th Street deserves a closer look.
This is not a conventional house listing with a little acreage behind it.
The land is the property.
The 19.47-acre tract combines open ground, woods, hedgerows, agricultural acreage, Miller Creek, wildlife cover and an existing pole building in one unusually deep parcel.
For hunters, outdoorsmen, homesteaders and buyers who simply want more space, the combination is what makes this property interesting.
Where is 2305 14th Street?
The property is located at 2305 14th Street in Hopkins, Michigan, in Watson Township, Allegan County.
The parcel contains approximately 19.47 acres, with roughly 316 feet of road frontage and more than 2,650 feet of depth.
That depth matters.
Instead of having all of your acreage exposed along the road, this property stretches approximately half a mile from front to back. As you move through the property, the character changes from open agricultural ground into heavier cover and wooded acreage toward the rear.
What does the property include?
The property offers a mix that is difficult to understand from acreage alone:
Approximately 19.47 acres
Open and agricultural ground
Woods and wildlife cover
Hedgerows and field-edge habitat
Miller Creek crossing the rear portion
Existing pole building
Approximately 316 feet of road frontage
Approximately 2,650 feet of depth
A-2 Rural Conservation zoning
Hunting, recreational, agricultural and potential homestead uses
Buyers should independently verify measurements, zoning requirements and any specific intended use with Watson Township and the appropriate governmental authorities.
Is this good hunting property?
It has several of the physical ingredients hunters typically look for.
The attraction is not simply that there are trees.
This tract has open ground meeting wooded cover, hedgerows, field edges and a natural creek corridor. Those transitions can create feeding areas, screening cover and natural wildlife travel routes.
As a hunter myself, those are the areas I pay attention to when I walk recreational property.
The long configuration is also valuable because the rear of the property is substantially removed from the road.
If you are evaluating this property specifically for deer hunting, I strongly recommend walking it rather than trying to judge it solely from an aerial photograph.
Does Miller Creek run through the property?
Yes.
Miller Creek crosses the wooded rear portion of the acreage.
The aerial graphic included with this listing shows the approximate creek corridor based on visible aerial features. It is intended to help buyers understand the general relationship between the creek, woods and open ground.
It is not a survey and should not be used to establish an exact property boundary or exact creek location.
Is there tillable or open ground?
Yes.
A substantial portion of the property is open ground that has agricultural characteristics.
Depending upon a buyer's goals and applicable regulations, that ground may have potential for continued agricultural use, pasture, gardening, food plots or other homestead-related purposes.
This is one reason I believe the property appeals to more than just hunters.
A buyer could potentially combine recreation with a small agricultural or country-living plan instead of choosing one or the other.
Can I have horses or livestock here?
The property is identified as A-2 Rural Conservation zoning in Watson Township, which supports agricultural uses.
Horses and certain livestock uses may be possible.
However, zoning rules can vary depending upon the specific animal, number of animals, commercial versus personal use, structures and other factors.
Buyers should verify their exact intended use directly with Watson Township before purchasing.
I would rather have you verify the use you actually intend than make a broad promise that may not apply to your particular plan.
What about the pole building?
There is an existing pole building on the property.
It is not a polished new outbuilding, and I am not presenting it that way.
It is, however, a useful existing structure that may provide space for equipment, tractors, ATVs, tools, storage or projects.
On nearly twenty acres, having existing utility space can be significantly more useful than starting with vacant land and immediately needing to construct a building.
What condition is the farmhouse in?
This is important.
The existing farmhouse is beyond salvage.
It is being sold strictly AS-IS, and buyers should approach the property assuming the house will need to be removed.
There will be no interior access to the farmhouse because of its condition.
The asking price and marketing strategy are centered on the land and useful existing improvements—not on rehabilitating the residence.
If your goal is to purchase an inexpensive fixer-upper, this is not that property.
If your goal is to acquire nearly twenty acres with recreation, open ground, woods, water and existing utility improvements, then you are looking at it the right way.
What financing will the seller consider?
The seller is considering cash or conventional financing.
Because of the condition of the existing farmhouse, buyers relying on financing should speak with their lender before scheduling a showing and make certain the lender understands the nature of the property.
Can I walk the property on my own?
No.
This is especially important because the property is being marketed during deer season.
The listing agent must be present for all showings.
Please do not enter, walk or drive onto the property without a confirmed appointment.
There are no exceptions to this requirement.
If you want to see the acreage, I will meet you there and walk the property with you.
That also gives us an opportunity to look at the field edges, woods, creek corridor, access, pole building and other features that are difficult to understand from photographs alone.
Is 2305 14th Street a homestead property or hunting property?
Potentially both.
That is one of its strongest characteristics.
A dedicated hunter may focus on the woods, creek corridor, field edges and food-plot possibilities.
Someone interested in a homestead may focus on the open ground, agricultural zoning, potential livestock uses and existing pole building.
Another buyer may simply want acreage, privacy and enough land to create a recreational property for their family.
The property does not need to fit only one category.
Why should I walk this property instead of relying on the listing photos?
Aerial photographs are excellent for showing relationships between features, but they do not tell you everything.
When we walk it together, you can evaluate the depth of the parcel, transition from field to cover, access routes, terrain, creek corridor, pole building and the overall feel of the property.
Those are the things that determine whether a piece of recreational land works for your intended use.
