Family-owned farm since 1850, this rare and historic property offers a unique opportunity to own a true piece of Michigan heritage. Situated on 3.68 acres just minutes from downtown Frankenmuth, the setting provides the best of both worlds—close to shopping, dining, festivals, and attractions, yet far enough away to enjoy peaceful country living with open space and privacy.
The classic two-story farmhouse, built in 1900, features 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths and offers an ideal layout for a potential bed and breakfast, with spacious rooms, timeless character, and the charm today’s buyers seek in a destination property. Solid bones and flexible spaces allow for restoration, updating, or preservation to suit a variety of visions.
In addition to the main home, the property includes two large barns and an additional detached building, well-suited for an in-home business, studio, workshop, or private office, offering excellent separation from the main residence. A charming in-law or guest quarters adds further flexibility for extended family or visitors.
A unique advantage of this property is the availability of both city water and an existing private well, allowing the buyer to choose the option that best fits their needs—whether for household use, future expansion, or agricultural purposes.
Surrounded by farmland and scenic views, this property delivers the quiet, rural lifestyle buyers desire while remaining conveniently close to everything Frankenmuth has to offer. A truly special opportunity—properties with this level of history, acreage, versatility, and location are seldom available.
