Taft Rd & 135th Ave Area

The land here runs to 40 acres per parcel—sometimes more—which means you're not buying a lot so much as a breathing room. Barns, pole structures, and forest views come standard; the houses that sit on these spreads tend to be ranch-style and well-maintained, the kind of place where a new roof or septic system from the 2010s still counts as recent work. It's rural enough that you'll find tilable acreage and outbuildings, but close enough to Big Rapids that the commute doesn't feel like a sacrifice. Clear Lake Public Access is within a short walk, and Woodbeck Lake borders the area, so water access exists without feeling forced. The nearest grocery is about four miles away, which is the trade-off you make for this much space—you're out here for the land itself, not the walkability.
