Welcome to Chenango Lake Preserve, a rare gem in Livingston County where solitude and serenity awaits at this spectacular 147 +/- acre property that consists of beautiful heavily wooded hilly terrain and a park-like setting overlooking spring fed Chenango Lake. This year-round recreational playground, family estate, corporate retreat or a combination of many amazing uses is only 5 miles from the popular downtown Brighton. As you enter this pristine property, a beautiful private road takes you through a mile long tunnel of trees to the heart of this Pure Michigan Paradise where you'll find the secluded spring fed Chenango Lake. The rolling wooded terrain and elevation changes on this lakefront property are features that you're more likely to find on remote properties in Northern Michigan. This one-of-a-kind property has over 1,200 feet of lake frontage on the 29-acre all-sports Chenango Lake that is surrounded by over 1,500 acres of undeveloped state land. Chenango Lake Preserve boasts being the only private owned land on Chenango Lake. The majestic Oak, Maple and Pine Trees line the ridges of the hilly wooded terrain on the property and around the lake. The Oak and Maple Trees change from an emerald green in the summertime to gorgeous vibrant colors in the early to mid-fall. The property has 1,400 +/- feet of road frontage on Schafer Road and 2,000 +/- feet of frontage on Richardson Road. There are several potential parcel splits available on this property.
