Michigan Land
We help owners sell, and buyers find, forest land and rural acreage across Michigan, working with a consulting forester on every property.
Forest land is priced and sold differently from a house. These are the questions we answer first, before a price is set.
Much of Michigan's private forest land is enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program or the Commercial Forest program. Each carries rules, a forest plan requirement and a cost to leave. A buyer who keeps the land enrolled can keep the lower taxes.
Road frontage, a recorded easement, or neither. Access is often the single biggest factor in what a parcel is worth, so we confirm it early.
The forest plan, the cutting history and what the deed says about mineral rights all shape value. We read the records with our forester before anyone walks the land.
We start with the land itself: location, access, program status and the forest plan. Then we price it from comparable land sales and bring it to buyers who understand what they are buying.
Tell us what you want the land for, whether hunting, recreation, timber or a long-term hold, and we will help you find parcels that fit, with the tax program and access questions answered up front.
We work with Metcalfe Forestry in Grayling, consulting foresters who write forest management plans, enroll land in the state tax programs and handle timber tax work.
