Sherman Super. Plat No.1 Area sprawls across 22,931 acres of Sherman township, a landscape defined by space itself—the kind of place where your nearest neighbor is measured in acres, not feet. Lots here average 16.74 acres, which means you're looking at genuine rural separation, the sort of quiet distance that comes from actual land, not marketing. A grocery run takes about 2 miles; dinner is roughly 1.2 miles away; the nearest coffee shop sits just over 3 miles down the road. Road Side Park lies 2.7 miles out if you want something beyond your own property. Homes run around $303K, which buys you the uncommon commodity of land in Michigan without the altitude of a suburb—just acreage, quiet, and the reality of a long driveway.

| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

Estimates use a 6.65% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
