Private 10-Acre Hunting Basecamp – Manton, MI
Ten secluded acres of thriving Northern Michigan forest — USDA Forestry Department–confirmed “healthy and well-balanced habitat” — offering excellent small game, furbearer, and deer hunting just minutes from Manton.
The property is alive with sign: abundant deer tracks, regular trail-cam footage of mature bucks, and fresh bear scat spotted throughout the season. Occasional bobcat sightings and a steady presence of raccoon, fox, and coyote round out the ecosystem. This parcel naturally funnels wildlife through mixed hardwoods and low-cover bedding zones, giving hunters a chance at everything from rabbits to whitetails.
Three rough-cut trails (one ATV/snowmobile–wide) wind through hardwoods, thickets, and small clearings. The terrain balances cover and accessibility — ideal for archery, small game, and quiet, low-impact hunts.
A rustic off-grid cabin near the trailhead serves as basecamp for gear storage or overnight stays. No plumbing or shower yet — bring your own water and supplies. Tent or pod camping is welcome in natural clearings, or RV/camper setup is available behind the garage, tucked out of view of the home. Outdoor electrical outlets and a pole barn for weather shelter make setup easy.
Our home is visible but separate; we’re typically away during daylight hours. Geese and chickens are kept near the residence, well outside the hunting zone.
This listing allows one respectful hunting party at a time — up to two adults or two adults plus one youth (under 18). ATV access is permitted for hauling gear only. Quiet, ethical hunters who respect boundaries and wildlife will feel right at home here.
