Tucked into a beautiful 10-acre country setting, this thoughtfully designed 2007-built home sits in a nicely treed and open area at the front of the property, with a wonderful wooded setting covering the back half of the acreage. The land has been lovingly cultivated with raised garden beds, a flower garden, a 10x12 greenhouse, compost bins, and a pergola-covered stone side patio-an outdoor enthusiast's retreat. Inside, a spacious windowed enclosed porch opens into an open living, dining, and kitchen area overlooking the beautiful backyard setting. The custom kitchen features mid-tone grey cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances-a well-thought-out design with carefully considered cabinetry. A dining room slider opens to a covered paved area. Pella triple-pane windows flood every room with natural light, while wood floors, unique trim work, and soothing paint tones create a warm, cohesive feel throughout. The main level includes one bedroom, an updated full bath with Corian countertops, and a laundry area with pantry just off the entry to the attached oversized 2-car garage-with extra room for a workshop. A white-trimmed open stairway with unique window placement carries the eye upward to the second floor, where a loft offers a wonderful office, reading, or sitting area with backyard views. Two additional bedrooms and a jack-and-jill bath with updated walk-in shower and Corian countertops complete the upper level. A full block basement offers excellent storage and finishing potential. Geothermal heating keeps utility costs remarkably low, and a wood stove, reverse osmosis system, and water softener add everyday comfort. Perfect for the minimalist looking to live closer to the land, a hobby farm, or horse property. If you've been searching for a private Northern Michigan retreat where life can slow down and connect to something more intentional, this is it.
