Main Home Features

Second Home & Flexible Use

The separate home at 3830 W 16th Rd provides one bedroom and one bathroom and is included with the same parcel. The two-home configuration creates several practical ways to use the property, including maintaining both residences as rentals, living in one home while renting the other, or keeping a separate residence for extended family.

The property is currently used as an investment property. The two residences sit within the same 2.55-acre setting, providing separation between living spaces while keeping both homes together on one parcel.

The 2020 Census recorded 397 residents in the village, while Wexford County had 33,673 residents in the 2020 Census and an estimated 34,445 residents as of July 2025. Mesick’s location provides access to the surrounding rural landscape, Northern Michigan recreation, and regional communities.

The area is associated with the Manistee River and Hodenpyl Dam Pond, with nearby outdoor opportunities including camping, fishing, paddling, hiking, and other recreational activities.

Safety & Crime

The Michigan State Police 2024 crime report lists one reported violent crime and 20 reported property crimes for Mesick. The reported violent-crime count consisted of one aggravated assault. Property-crime counts included three burglaries, 14 larceny offenses, and three motor-vehicle thefts. These are jurisdiction-level reported crime counts for 2024 and should not be interpreted as property-specific statistics.

Crime reporting is subject to the coverage and reporting practices of participating law-enforcement agencies. The Michigan State Police identifies its crime data as information collected through the Michigan Incident Crime Reporting system.

Schools & Education

Mesick Consolidated Schools serves the local community. The district operates Jewett Elementary School at 210 E. Mesick Avenue and Mesick Jr./Sr. High School at 581 South Clark Street in Mesick. The district’s current website provides information for the 2026–27 school year and identifies both elementary and junior/senior high programs.

Nearby schools shown in the property’s Zillow record include Floyd M. Jewett Elementary School and Mesick Consolidated Jr./Sr. High School. Proximity does not by itself establish school assignment, so enrollment boundaries should be confirmed directly with the district.

Healthcare & Hospitals

Regional medical care is available through Munson Healthcare Cadillac Hospital at 400 Hobart Street in Cadillac. Its emergency department is open 24 hours a day, every day, and the facility provides emergency medical services along with hospital-based care.

Mesick also has a local pharmacy at 112 Mesick Avenue. Service availability and hours can change, so buyers should confirm current services directly with the provider.

Housing Market History

Historical housing-market context for the property area can be viewed through the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s annual All-Transactions House Price Index for Wexford County. The series uses an index where 2000 equals 100, rather than a dollar-denominated median sale price, so the figures below should be read as changes in the index rather than individual home values.

Transportation & Access

Mesick is served by Michigan state highways including M-37 and M-115. The Michigan Department of Transportation identifies M-37 as extending to Mesick and M-115 as running between Mesick and Benzonia. These routes provide regional road connections through Wexford and neighboring counties.

The property’s road surface is listed as asphalt, while the on-site parking area is gravel.

Shopping & Everyday Services

Local everyday services include Mesick Market at 118 W. Mesick Avenue and Mesick Pharmacy at 112 Mesick Avenue. Other local retail options include Market 37 and Family Dollar. The village provides a small-community service base, while larger regional shopping and services are available in surrounding communities.

Parks & Recreation

Northern Michigan recreation is a significant part of the Mesick area. Hodenpyl Dam Pond is an approximately 8.5-mile-long body of water associated with the Manistee River system, while Seaton Creek Campground in the Huron-Manistee National Forests is located near Mesick and provides access to camping and outdoor recreation along the Hodenpyl backwater.

Local recreation resources also include canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, camping, and access to the North Country Trail. The nearby Northern Exposure campground operates along Hodenpyl Pond and lists seasonal outdoor amenities and water-based recreation.

Utilities & Connectivity

The property itself is listed with a shared well and shared septic system. The village maintains separate ordinances and resolutions covering its public water and sewer systems, so municipal utility availability should not be confused with the property’s existing private/shared systems.

Broadband availability varies by individual service location. The FCC National Broadband Map allows buyers to enter an exact address and review reported internet providers, technologies, and available speeds. Property-specific broadband service should be confirmed directly before purchase.

Development & Planning

The Village of Mesick maintains local zoning, water, sewer, solid-waste, and permitting ordinances. Current municipal materials reviewed for this listing provide the framework for local land use and municipal services.

Mesick Consolidated Schools has also been engaged in facility planning. The district reported in December 2025 that its Community Facility Task Force was evaluating future school-facility solutions, and the district launched information concerning a proposed 2026 bond referendum. These are school-district planning matters rather than verified development projects on or immediately adjacent to this property.
