This is the Northern Michigan farmhouse you have been waiting for. 16 acres, set in Alanson, with the kind of space and character that's increasingly hard to find. 8262 Hilltop Road delivers a freshly updated home, meaningful outbuildings, and open land ready for whatever you envision next. Inside, recent improvements - new carpeting, new laminate flooring, and fresh paint throughout - give the interior a clean, move-in-ready feel without sacrificing the home's warmth and charm. The living room centers on a striking stone wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen is well-appointed with solid surface countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. A separate family room with wood stove offers flexible use - equally suited as a main-floor bedroom. One full bath completes the main level. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a second full bath provide comfortable room for family and guests. A covered front porch and rear deck invite you to settle in and enjoy the surroundings. The property's utility goes well beyond the house. A 30' x 24' animal barn and 16' x 23.5' detached garage offer serious working and storage space. Whether you're looking to raise animals, store equipment, or pursue a hobby farm lifestyle, the infrastructure is already in place. No association, no restrictions - just 16 open acres and the freedom to make it your own.
