Why Buy Now?

Market timing and opportunity converge

Split Opportunity in 2026

The larger parcel becomes eligible for subdivision in 2026, immediately unlocking significant additional value. Purchase now at bulk land pricing, then subdivide for premium returns.

Growing Demand

Southeast Michigan land values continue to appreciate as urban sprawl expands. Properties between Ann Arbor and Lansing are increasingly sought after for both recreation and development.

Multiple Revenue Streams

Generate income immediately through farming and hunting leases while holding for appreciation. Very few properties offer this combination of immediate cash flow and long-term value growth.

Location Premium

Adjacent to Waterloo State Park and near extensive state land - these natural amenities cannot be replicated. As Michigan's outdoor recreation economy grows, proximity to these resources becomes increasingly valuable.
