Description

Here’s an opportunity to own a remodeled farmstead surrounded by 115 acres of gorgeous fields and forested property! This 3-4 bedroom, one bathroom home is characteristic of a modern day farm with appealing cedar woodwork and maple flooring. Enter the home through a fantastic and welcoming 20′ by 10′ sunroom where you could easily spend the whole day. The livable space is over 1,800 square feet and is highlighted by a large kitchen with an antique wood stove as the center piece. The additional 660 square feet in the walk-out basement provides ample room for additional upgrades and has hydronic heat. The views from the large bedroom and additional room (currently used as an art studio) upstairs are almost indescribable, overlooking both field and forest. It would take days to properly explore this property which has two ponds (fed by intermittent streams and wetland swales) stocked with bluegill and crappie, and several timber types with areas of mature sugar maple, aspen, and softwood. Adjacent to and near the hayfields are over 30 mature apple trees and other fruit bearing shrubs and flowers including highbush cranberry, elderberry nannyberry, hazel, crabapple and many others. The 20′ by 30′ barn could be used for horses, hay storage or other purposes and the root cellar in the basement is perfect for storage of apples, vegetables and canned items. As and added bonus, this property abuts hundreds of acres of State of Michigan property with the Sturgeon River flowing throw it, a remarkable area for fishing, hunting and exploration. The listing realtor is a Wildlife Biologist and Forester, and can explain all characteristics of this property during a tour.
