Set on over 7 acres in the heart of Northern Michigan, this farmhouse offers the kind of space and setting that’s getting harder to find. The home features an open floorplan designed for easy, everyday living and entertaining. A standout sunroom fills with natural light and opens to a covered porch, perfect for taking in the peaceful surroundings. You will have piece of mind with a new roof on the house and barn in 2025 plus other updates (see associated documents). Outside, the property continues to impress with trails on the property and rolling hills to enjoy. Just minutes away to Glen Lake Schools and surrounded by public access to water and state land, Pearl Lake Nature Preserve and miles of seasonal trails/roads. This location puts Northern Michigan’s best features right at your fingertips. A rare combination of privacy, functionality, and access, all in one property.
