Late afternoon light cuts through the pines here, when the roads quiet down and you can actually hear the forest—that's when this stretch of Goodwell township shows itself best. The lots run enormous, averaging nearly 35 acres apiece across the 22,869-acre area, which means your nearest neighbor exists somewhere past the tree line, and your commute to downtown Grand Rapids sits at just over 70 minutes if you're actually making that drive. Homes run around $257K, which buys you serious acreage and the kind of solitude that doesn't come cheap anywhere else. Groceries are 4 miles out, and the nearest park about 4.3, but that's only worth mentioning if you're the type who measures convenience instead of counting the quiet.
