Located just outside Au Gres and close to Lake Huron, this 42 +/- acre Arenac County property offers a strong combination of waterfowl habitat, deer hunting opportunities, recreational acreage, and potential building ground. The defining feature of the property is the series of ponds and water pockets positioned throughout the rear portion of the acreage, creating a setting well suited for ducks, geese, other birds, and a variety of wildlife. Access begins from the road with an established pull-in drive leading back to a clearing surrounded by tall grasses and brush. This provides a convenient area for parking, equipment, or a hunting camp while also creating a natural starting point for accessing the rest of the acreage. The front portion of the property consists of higher ground before transitioning into thicker cover and the pond system farther back. As you move toward the rear of the property, the landscape opens into several pockets of water surrounded by grasses, brush, and natural cover. Rather than having one primary pond, the property features multiple water areas spread throughout the acreage. This creates several different locations to evaluate for waterfowl hunting based on seasonal water levels and bird movement. One waterfowl blind is already in place overlooking one of the ponds, providing an established setup. Additional ponds and surrounding cover may provide opportunities to develop other hunting locations over time. During a recent visit, numerous ducks and other birds were seen and heard throughout the property, showing the amount of wildlife activity associated with the existing water and habitat. While waterfowl hunting is a major feature, the property also offers deer hunting potential. Deer sign was observed throughout the acreage, and the combination of tall grasses, brush, thicker cover, water, and higher ground provides a variety of habitat types. The transitions between the ponds and surrounding cover create natural travel areas that can be evaluated for additional hunting setups. A drain also runs through the property, adding another water source and natural feature to the landscape. The higher ground near the road adds another dimension to the property. Zoned Residential-Vacant, this portion of the acreage may provide potential for a future home, cabin, or other improvements, subject to applicable approvals. Having the higher ground positioned near the road also provides practical access while allowing the ponds and primary wildlife habitat to remain farther back into the property. The location adds to the recreational possibilities beyond the acreage itself. Downtown Au Gres and Lake Huron are both very close, providing convenient access to boating, fishing, public water access, restaurants, shopping, and other activities along the Lake Huron shoreline. This gives an owner the ability to enjoy the hunting and wildlife opportunities on their own property while having additional outdoor recreation only a short drive away. With multiple ponds, established waterfowl habitat, an existing blind, deer sign, road access, and potential building ground, this property brings together several features within one tract. Its proximity to Au Gres and Lake Huron further expands the recreational options, making it a property that can be enjoyed during hunting seasons and throughout the rest of the year.
