Peacock, Supervisor'S Plat of

Out here, the subdivision sits squarely in a landscape defined by federal acreage and seasonal escape—hundreds of thousands of acres of Manistee National Forest press in from all sides, and the ORV and snowmobile trails that cut through the area mean the roads themselves feel less like residential streets and more like gateways to the backcountry. Homes tend toward the modest and rustic: one-room cabins on tight parcels, ranch houses built in the 1980s on wooded lots of an acre or two, places meant for people who'd rather spend their time hiking or riding than fussing with a lawn. A few properties carry recent updates—new roofs, fresh flooring, propane upgrades—but the real draw is the setting: river access within a couple miles, M-37 running nearby for quick snowmobile boarding, and the kind of quiet that comes from being surrounded by public land instead of neighbors. The closest park sits about four and a half miles away, but that's almost beside the point when you're living at the edge of thousands of acres of forest.
