Escape to your private sanctuary in the wilds of Northern Michigan on Oak Hill Road — a quiet, private road that winds through a magnificent hardwood forest just minutes from Fife Lake. This rare custom-built ranch home, owned by the original owners, sits surrounded by towering hardwoods on a peaceful, secluded property where the only sounds are the whisper of the wind through the trees and the call of the wild. Imagine stepping out your door into a true outdoor paradise: World-class fly fishing on the legendary Manistee River in nearby Old Sharon — some of the best in the Midwest. Miles upon miles of trails right out your back door for hiking, horseback riding, dirt biking, SxS adventures, or snowmobiling. Campfires that burn late into the night under a sky bursting with stars and the glowing Milky Way. Hunting, exploring, and four-wheeling through hundreds of acres of pristine Northern Michigan wilderness. Just a few miles north and west (as the eagle flies) to East Lake or Fife Lake for boating, swimming, and all your favorite water sports including fishing or a little further down the road, Fife Lake The custom home itself offers approximately 2,200+ sq ft of comfortable living space with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Highlights include a dramatic two-way fireplace shared between the dining room and living room, a walk-out basement, and a massive oversized pole barn fully equipped with a hoist, air compressor, and everything you need for projects, toys, or winter storage. A seller favorite is sipping morning coffee on the deck while listening to and watching wildlife. Casting a line for trophy trout, or roaring down snow-covered trails on your sled, this property delivers the ultimate Northern Michigan lifestyle — raw, peaceful, and unforgettable. A true rare find for the outdoor enthusiast who wants to live immersed in nature.
