Think it's not possible to have a home on acreage close to the heart of Petoskey? Think again. This newer home on nearly 16 acres delivers the privacy you crave with the location you need. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the 40x60x16 pole barn near the home - perfect for storage, hobbies, or creative use - while an added shipping container offers even more flexibility for gardening setups, projects, or future plans like a hobby farm. Set far back on a long driveway, the landscaped grounds provide a sense of seclusion, room to roam, and space to grow. Inside, the home's two distinct levels create space for connection or quiet retreat. The walkout lower level offers flexibility for guests, hobbies, or extended stays with its own kitchen, living area, and bedroom. Upstairs, the sunlit main level invites easy everyday living, with an open flow from the kitchen to the dining and living spaces and out to the patio and hot tub. With the primary suite thoughtfully separated from the other two bedrooms, and laundry on both floors, the layout supports both privacy and convenience - whether you're entertaining or simply enjoying a slower pace at home. Whether you're craving adventure or a quiet escape, this location makes it easy to have both. Just a mile from snowmobile trails and a short drive to the heart of Northern Michigan's wine country, you'll be minutes from cozy tastings, vineyard views, and year-round recreation. With Walloon Lake's charm close by, weekends can be whatever you need them to be - unplugged, outdoors, or poured into a glass. While some homes offer space and others offer flexibility, this one brings both. Whether you're looking for a home base with room to grow, a multigenerational setup, or a peaceful place to live and create, this one checks all the boxes.
