Exterior Features and Land
10.12 Acres of Country Property

The approximate lot dimensions are 336 by 1,310 feet. With more than ten acres surrounding the residence, the property offers considerably more outdoor space than a conventional residential lot.
Additional Structures and Future Flexibility
Existing sheds are included. The property also offers room to consider constructing a garage or pole barn, subject to zoning, permitting, setbacks and other applicable requirements. Buyers interested in additional storage, workshop space or agricultural improvements may find this aspect particularly appealing.
Brick Construction and Metal Roofing
The home features traditional brick construction, a gambrel-style roofline and a new steel roof. Its Dutch Colonial character gives the residence a distinctive appearance while maintaining a practical two-story layout.
Utilities and Property Infrastructure
The property uses a private well for water and a septic tank for wastewater. Heating is provided by a forced-air system, with an LP propane tank that is rented. Central air conditioning is also listed.
Buyers should independently confirm the condition and capacity of the well and septic system, propane tank rental arrangements, utility costs and available internet services during their due diligence.
Location and Lifestyle
Located at 14250 Taylor Road, the property has a Millington mailing address and is associated with the Millington Community Schools district. Its rural setting offers a different residential experience from homes situated within a more densely developed village neighborhood.
The surrounding region includes agricultural properties, established community services, local businesses and outdoor recreation opportunities. The combination of acreage and access to the Millington community provides a setting for buyers who value additional outdoor space while remaining connected to nearby everyday services.
Living in the Millington Area
The following information provides additional context about the Millington community and the property’s surrounding region. Community-level statistics and amenities are separate from the features and services confirmed at the individual residence.
Area Overview and Community Information
Millington is a small Michigan community associated with both Tuscola and Genesee County regional activity. This particular property is identified in Forest Township, Genesee County, despite its Millington mailing address.
Genesee County had an estimated population of approximately 401,093 as of July 2025, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates. The county includes a mix of established communities, agricultural areas, residential neighborhoods and employment centers.
The broader region has a strong agricultural history alongside manufacturing, healthcare, education and public-sector employment. The 2023 Tuscola County General Development Plan also identifies agriculture, renewable energy and manufacturing as important parts of the neighboring county’s economic landscape.
Millington’s smaller-community setting provides access to local businesses, community services and recreational facilities, while the surrounding countryside offers a more rural residential environment.
Geographic distinction: Genesee County statistics are used for this property’s county-level information. Tuscola County figures should not be interpreted as statistics for this Forest Township property.
Safety and Crime Information
Crime statistics provide broader regional context rather than a determination of conditions at an individual residence.
FBI-based 2024 reporting for Genesee County recorded approximately 2,401 violent offenses and 5,375 property offenses across 25 reporting law-enforcement agencies. These figures include reports from multiple communities and agencies throughout the county.
Violent-crime reporting includes offenses such as aggravated assault, robbery and homicide. Property-crime reporting includes burglary, theft and motor vehicle theft.
Countywide figures cannot establish the crime rate for Taylor Road, Forest Township or the immediate surroundings of this property. Buyers seeking a more detailed assessment should review current local law-enforcement information and the relevant agency’s reporting boundaries.
Reporting-year information: 2024. Countywide figures are not property-specific safety ratings, and differences in agency participation can affect reported totals.

Housing Market History
Genesee County’s housing market has experienced measurable changes in residential property values over recent years.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s annual All-Transactions House Price Index for Genesee County provides a consistent historical measure of housing-price movement. The index uses 2000 as its base year, with a value of 100.
| Year | House Price Index |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 131.55 |
| 2022 | 147.69 |
| 2023 | 156.14 |
| 2024 | 164.54 |
| 2025 | 172.77 |
The index increased by approximately 31.3% between 2021 and 2025, reflecting the historical movement of the broader Genesee County housing market.
This index measures historical countywide house-price trends rather than the value of an individual home or acreage property. Rural homes, properties with substantial land and residences with different improvements may perform differently from the broader housing market.
Data period: 2021–2025. Historical figures are not forecasts, appraisals or guarantees of future property appreciation.
