Orangeville

This stretch of Barry County sprawls across nearly 36 square miles of rural Michigan, where wooded acreage and open land dominate, and Gun Lake sits just beyond the horizon as the area's defining water anchor. Homes here range from modest ranch cottages to custom-built retreats on private roads, many set back on wooded or waterfront lots where you're as likely to see deer as neighbors. The recent sales tell the story: sandy Gun Lake frontage with sunroom views, a ten-acre wooded parcel on a private drive, outbuildings with their own electric service, disc golf courses accessible from backyards, and the kind of privacy that comes from actual distance between houses.
