70th Ave & Appleby Rd Area

The Middle Branch River runs through here, a blue-ribbon trout stream that's the real draw for anyone serious about fishing—and the listing descriptions make it clear that waterfront access, even a deeded sliver of it, gets mentioned first and stays mentioned. Most homes sit on wooded acreage well off the main roads, the kind of setup where a pole building and some land for toys actually matter. It's remote enough that downtown Grand Rapids feels like another state entirely (a good two hours away), but Marion is just five minutes down the road, and that proximity to town without the town creeping in seems to be exactly the point. Pretty Lake Boating Access is less than three miles away if you want a different kind of water. Trout fishing, river views, and room to breathe—this is where people go when they mean it about getting away.
