For the first time ever, the historic Anderson/Arbury Farm is being offered for sale—an extraordinary legacy property rich in character, history, and opportunity. Set on approximately 108.27 acres with remarkable frontage along the scenic Chippewa River, this one-of-a-kind estate combines architectural significance with breathtaking natural beauty. At the heart of the property is a Mid-Century Modern residence featuring architectural renovations by renowned designer Alden B. Dow. The main level offers 1,782 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, with an additional 1,150 square feet in the finished walk-out lower level. The home includes two fireplaces, two furnaces, two central air units, a generator, and an attached two-car garage. Expansive windows frame stunning river views, filling the home with natural light and creating a peaceful, inspiring atmosphere. Beyond the main residence, a 25x19 pool house provides finished living space complete with a Murphy bed, fireplace, and full bathroom—ideal for guests or entertaining. The estate also features four substantial outbuildings offering exceptional versatility. Two large barns—measuring 160x60 feet and 95x40 feet—have cement floors and are fully insulated and heated, with the 95x40 barn also including a finished half bath. A third barn connects to the original structure and offers additional finished space (lift not included). Near the road, a 30x32 heated garage with a cement floor provides even more functional storage. The land itself is a beautiful blend of productive farmland and serene riverfront. The fields are currently planted in soybeans and leased through this fall, presenting the opportunity for continued agricultural income or a new vision tailored to your needs. Whether you envision a private homestead, a working farm, a multi-generational retreat, or a distinctive event venue, this exceptional property offers the space and flexibility to bring that vision to life. More than just real estate, this is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Mid-Michigan heritage—complete with architectural distinction, versatile outbuildings, and one of the region’s most picturesque stretches of riverfront.
