Hunting / Farm Land, Country Homes & Estates for sale in Monroe County, MI

About Monroe County — Land For Sale

At Michigan’s southeast corner on Lake Erie, Monroe County blends shoreline living, fertile farm‑and‑timber edges, and quick I‑75/US‑23 access. City of Monroe (county seat) sits on the River Raisin, with small lakefront towns like Luna Pier offering marinas, beaches and fishing piers within minutes of Toledo and Downriver.

Land & Lifestyle at a Glance

Hunting & Recreation — Edge cover is common where oak/maple uplands meet cattail marsh and creek bottoms. Whitetail and turkey persist on larger tracts; waterfowl shines along Lake Erie’s coastal marshes. Public access is strong at Sterling State Park, Pointe Mouillee State Game Area (Monroe/Wayne), and Petersburg State Game Area.

Waterfront & Lakes/Rivers — Parcels range from canal/bayfront on Lake Erie to river/creek frontage on the Raisin and tributaries. Bottoms vary from sand/stone to soft marl in coves—know floodplain on river parcels and ordinary high‑water setbacks and wake/no‑wake rules on canals/lakes.

Farm & Tillable — Highly productive loams and sandy loams dominate; heavier clays collect in drain bottoms. Ask for tile maps, outlet capacity and wide, all‑season field entrances (culverts/base) for modern equipment.

Timber & Habitat — Uplands carry oak, maple and beech with pockets of mixed pine; lowlands trend to willow/cottonwood and cedar in wetter draws. Many tracts show light/select cuts—room for trails, TSI and tucked plots along upland edges.

Cabin/Residential — Year‑round roads and utilities are the norm; private lanes pop up near canals and larger ag blocks. Natural gas and high‑speed internet are common; verify township zoning and driveway/ROW permits for new builds.

Prefer privacy with more to roam? North‑county and western townships still offer acreage buffered by large ag blocks and woodlots—ask about what’s currently available.

Local Tips from a Michigan Land Specialist

  • Perc & soils: Many areas are on municipal utilities; where wells/septic are needed, upland sands/loams often pass while muck/peat near drains may require engineered systems—order a current perc.
  • Frontage quality: On canals/bayfront, confirm bottom type, seawall/pier condition and local wake/ice impacts; on river lots, verify floodplain and bank stability.
  • Tillable details: Request tile maps and outlet capacity; size drives for semis and harvest gear.
  • Access & neighbors: Use vegetative screens and thoughtful driveway placement to keep privacy near suburban edges.
  • Utilities/internet: Natural gas, electric and high‑speed internet are common; confirm utility easements and tap fees.
