Tucked away on 10 private acres, yet just minutes from downtown Kalkaska, Twin Birch Golf Course, and nearby snowmobile and ATV trails, this home offers the space and seclusion you've been looking for without giving up everyday convenience or access to Up North recreation. Set back along a private road and driveway, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a peaceful setting with plenty of room to roam, explore, garden, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Originally built as a cabin in 1930, the home was extensively remodeled and rebuilt in 1995, blending its Up North roots with thoughtful updates. A detached 2-car garage provides plenty of space for vehicles, tools, toys, and storage. Whether you're looking for a year-round home with acreage, a quiet Up North retreat, or a home base for all your Northern Michigan adventures, this property offers a great combination of privacy, land, recreation, and proximity to town. Follow the private drive home and discover just how close to Kalkaska 10 acres of your own can feel.
