Southwest Michigan Real Estate - Embracing the Environment as Much as Homes

Deep within the woods of Michigan there is a community that is embracing the environment as much as their homes. Cranes Pond is a community built upon strong principles, which include not only protecting the environment, but encouraging wildlife growth and sustainability within the area. The Darl Scott family has been developing land in this community since the 1960s. The Scott family understands the commitment to the environment and to natural wildlife. When designing the property the Scott family hired the services of Audubon Signature Programs. This is a program designed to help real estate developers design the property with protecting the environment in mind. Many times developers sacrifice trees and other natural wildlife in order to build a large amount of homes. This development was built with fewer homes to ensure that the native wildlife would be able to coexist with the community's residents.

The development is named after a 54-acre pond located on the property. This pond will give residents the opportunity to enjoy the aquatic environment. The pond is available for residents to swim, fish, and look at, but because this is an environmental friendly community no powered boats will be allowed on the pond. The community was designed around the pond and many homes sites will back up to the water. These homes allow the residents to enjoy the complete wilderness package from their home.

The community is also equipped with trails and walkways. More than 140 acres were set aside within this community to preserve the natural wildlife. Within this undeveloped land there are walkways that allow residents to take true nature walks around the community. These trails give residents the opportunity to soak in nature. The Scott family has lived in this area for many years and they understand the importance of maintaining nature and its value in property.

The Scott family designed this community knowing that the residents would enjoy and embrace the love for nature that was their vision. Residents are expected to share their passion with the environment everyday, and have to maintain their property. Respecting nature goes beyond planning an environmental conscious community; it incorporates lifestyles that supplement the environment. Michigan offers residents with some of the most beautiful terrain in the United States, and with the development of Cranes Pond Michigan residents will continue to embrace the environment within their communities.
