(Read more) the type of setting buyers often search for but rarely find. The approach creates a strong first impression as you enter through mature trees and pass an established apple orchard along the paved driveway. As the drive gradually opens, the landscape reveals a scenic pond and the striking rear elevation of the home, where expansive windows overlook the surrounding countryside.The 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom home is designed with a layout that balances privacy, function and connection to the surrounding setting. One wing of the home features a large primary suite with a sliding door that opens directly to the expansive wraparound back porch, creating easy access to views of the pond and open terrain. The main floor entry includes a practical mud room and laundry area that lead into the central living space, where windows line the room and capture natural light and natural views of the land. Adjacent to the living area, the kitchen offers ample storage and workspace, positioned to flow naturally into the dining area where additional windows continue to frame the pond and surrounding landscape. On the opposite wing of the home are three generously sized bedrooms along with a full bathroom, providing comfortable space for family or guests. Just off the living room, stairways lead both to the loft and the lower level. The loft is a standout feature of the home, highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pond, creating an elevated space that remains connected to the natural setting throughout the seasons. The open concept lower level provides excellent additional living space for entertaining, extra guests, or recreation, and includes a built-in sauna, offering a comfortable place to relax after time spent outdoors. A newly installed geothermal furnace provides efficient heating and cooling, while the attached 2 car garage adds everyday functionality.A 32x48 outbuilding with concrete floor and large dual doors offers excellent space for equipment storage, recreational vehicles, or workshop use. The building is well-positioned in relation to the home while still maintaining separation and flexibility of use.The land does not disappoint, offering a well-balanced mix of open ground, hardwoods, softwoods, and pine spread across rolling terrain that naturally supports wildlife movement throughout the property. While walking the land, numerous deer rubs and scrapes were observed, reinforcing the strong presence of whitetail activity in the area. Established food plot locations and several elevated blinds are already in place, allowing the next owner to immediately utilize the property. A maintained trail system covers the majority of the land, providing convenient access for navigating and managing the terrain. Multiple water sources, including the pond near the home and a creek flowing through the northern portion of the property, contribute to strong habitat diversity for deer, turkey, ducks, and geese. While touring the property, ducks were watched coming and going from the pond directly from the back deck, highlighting the connection between the home and the surrounding wildlife.Located a short distance from US-131, the property provides convenient access while maintaining the privacy and natural setting buyers expect when searching for northern Michigan land. Properties offering this combination of setting, improvements, and usable acreage are difficult to replicate. To fully appreciate what this property offers, it should be experienced in person.
