Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity in the heart of Howell, Michigan—1286 Gray Fox Court, a custom-built luxury estate nestled on over 200 acres of breathtaking private land. Designed for the discerning buyer seeking elegance, space, and serenity, this magnificent property offers the ultimate lifestyle retreat immersed in natural beauty. The stately ranch-style residence spans nearly 8,000 square feet of refined living space with 5 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, soaring ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, and custom architectural features throughout. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances and flows seamlessly into expansive living and entertaining areas, perfect for both everyday living and special occasions.

The land is fully perimeter fenced for privacy and security, and trophy whitetail deer are frequently seen roaming the grounds—making this a haven for wildlife lovers and outdoor adventurers alike. Equestrians and hobbyists will appreciate the two stunning barns on-site—one built by Wick, the other by Morton—each designed for durability, function, and beauty. Despite its secluded feel, the estate is just minutes from historic downtown Howell, offering charming boutiques, dining, and community events, along with convenient access to major highways. 1286 Gray Fox Court is more than a home—it’s a legacy property offering luxury living, unmatched natural beauty, and space to create the life you’ve always dreamed of.
