Property Watch: Farming, Fishing And A Farmhouse

Originally dating from 1889, Victoria Creek Farms served as a family farm for three full generations. The current owner, who inherited it from his parents after they inherited it from their grandparents, farmed it recently for hay and hops. The property is also suitable for crops such as grapes and apples, as well as offering potential for equestrian activities. The 108-acre parcel includes 37+/- acres of established farmland as well as hardwood areas. Then there’s the 1,200 feet of Victoria Creek frontage. Victoria Creek is a DNR-designated Class 1 trout stream, with a native population of brook trout. Steve Barnes with the Mark Hagan team says it runs cold and deep year-round.

The house itself at 322 S Good Harbor Trail, Cedar ($1,000,000; MLS #1911589) is a four-bedroom, two-bath home. It features an inviting porch that wraps around two sides of the home, and four outbuildings, including a large pole barn. The property is protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement. Hawks and eagles dot the skies, according to Barnes, and other abundant wildlife includes deer, grouse, woodcock, turkey, and red fox.
