Burdell
Solid value in a growing area
4 homes for sale·Median $362K
Out here you're looking at genuine country living—40 to 60 acres of pasture and rolling woodland is the norm, pole barns and log homes tucked into hillsides, fishing ponds dotted across properties, and enough quiet to actually hear yourself think. The area sits minutes from Highway 131, which means Cadillac and Reed City are close enough for errands without feeling like you're commuting, and Lake Michigan is right on the edge. What sells this place is the land itself: heavily wooded parcels, open pasture suitable for horses or farming, stone fireplaces and green houses on the properties people build here. Hungerford Lake Recreation Area sits adjacent, giving you a public anchor for water access. This isn't suburban convenience—it's the kind of stretch where a home might need finishing work, where a greenhouse or pole barn matters as much as square footage, and where the draw is acreage, privacy, and the ability to be genuinely self-sufficient if that's what you want.
