D.N.R. TAKING BIDS ON 39 PARCELS OF LAND The Department of Natural Resources, as part of its land consolidation strategy, is now accepting bids on 39 parcels of land in 12 counties.
Land is located in Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Hillsdale, Kalamazoo, Mason, Muskegon, Oceana, St. Joseph, Van Buren and Wexford counties. Parcel information, bid forms, and offer to purchase forms also are available by sending a request to the Office of Land and Facilities, P.O. Box 30448, Lansing, MI 48909-7948, or by calling 517-373-1240. Bids must me postmarked by December 3.

Every seven months, the DNR reviews a group of counties to determine which parcels will be disposed of and which will be retained. These parcels are outside of the new dedicated project boundaries for all state parks, recreation areas, state game and wildlife areas, and state forests.
The parcels are classified one of three ways: retention under state ownership and DNR management, offer to another unit of government or an alternative conservation organization or disposal by exchange or sale because the parcel has limited natural resource, recreational or cultural value.

Information on the auction, and other land available for purchase, the terms and conditions, and how to submit a bid, is available at the DNR website.

its kinda funny but it appears that the property in Oakland county is already occupied.... (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=clarkston,+mi&ie=UTF8&ll=42.721487,-83.368152&spn=0.001714,0.00353&t=h&z=18&om=1)

maybe they defaulted on their taxes?
