Property Description
This isn’t just a property… it’s a rare, head-turning opportunity that almost never hits the market. Welcome to 60 acres of rolling Northern Michigan countryside where every inch invites possibility. Open fields, mature hardwoods, natural tree lines, and a spring-fed pond create a setting that feels straight out of a dream—private, peaceful, and packed with potential. Whether you're envisioning a working farm, a hobby homestead, recreational paradise, or your own secluded escape… this land delivers. And then there’s the farmhouse…A beautifully restored classic that perfectly blends timeless charm with modern upgrades. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel it—warmth, character, and quality. Original hardwood floors have been brought back to life, natural light pours through oversized windows, and the spacious layout gives you room to live, work, and gather in style. The kitchen? Next level. Custom cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and a layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs offers three inviting bedrooms plus a flexible bonus space, and the cozy lounge off the primary bedroom? That’s your new favorite spot to unwind after a long day. Outside, the two-story barn is ready to go—new roof, updated lighting, reinforced structure—perfect for animals, equipment, storage, or your next big project.
