Investment Overview
This 39.46± acreage offers a rare block of wooded and open acreage fronting Fret Road in Van Buren Township, Wayne County. The site's mix of timber and open ground, gently rolling topography with a vibrant deer and turkey population make it well suited to a private estate, hobby farm, or recreational holding. The parcel runs in a long north–south configuration combining mature hardwoods across the northern 25 acres of the site with open hayfield along the southern portion nearest the road. The property offers a private setting while remaining within easy reach of Belleville, greater Ann Arbor, and Metro Detroit.
The property is zoned AG (Agricultural and Estates District), which permits a single-family detached dwelling and a range of agricultural, equestrian, and open-space uses by right, with Planned Residential Development available as a special land use subject to Township approval. Buyers are encouraged to independently verify zoning, permitted use, and development potential with Van Buren Township prior to purchase.
The property sits along Fret Road between Martinsville Road and Pebblebrook Drive in Van Buren Township, Wayne County, southeast of Belleville. The location offers convenient access to I-94 and the broader Ann Arbor – Metro Detroit corridor while retaining a rural, wooded character along the Hubbard Drain corridor.
