This well-kept family home sits at the end of a long drive within a rare and secluded square 40-acres; an exclusive sanctuary, a private forest park. The central clearing creates an atmospheric setting to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, and bonfires. The home has three bedrooms and two baths. The kitchen features hardwood floors, updated lighting, and newer stainless steel appliances (except for the stove). Master bedroom walk-in closet shelving has been removed, walls have been refinished, and the closet is ready to accommodate the new owner’s taste. The master bathroom features new lighting, paint, medicine cabinet, and mirror. Large, double-paned windows provide a scenic view of the pond and whispering aspen grove. Interior features drywall, abundant natural light, propane heating, and central air conditioning. Fresh primer, paint, and carpet throughout a majority of the home within the past five years. A large “Great Lakes” mural in the living room is ready for the new owner’s personal touch. The home’s exterior features modest vinyl decking, a fenced dog run adjoining the large mud/laundry room, an earthen trailer-ramp, and a fenced garden. The attached three-car 26x46 garage with an oversized pull-through bay and gabled 40x80 pole barn provide significant storage space and are ideal for ORV/snowmobile access to the hundreds of connected miles of trails surrounding the property and, ultimately, throughout northern Michigan. The acreage is surrounded by neighbors on two sides and hundreds of square miles of state land. Notably, ORVs are permitted to ride on the shoulder of surrounding roadways. Roughly three-quarters of this plot is forested with a variety of pines and hardwoods, ranging from newly planted to mature. Resident tree species include jack pine, red pine, red oak, maple, spruce, and aspen. The property also features three ponds which attract herons and geese. Pond depths beyond 6’. Local wildlife include deer, wild turkey, rabbit, badger, grouse, owl, and a variety of other small animal species. Black bear, fox, and porcupine have been spotted on the property within the past five years. More than one mile of wide, looping trails run throughout the property’s forest, ideal for a host of recreational activities in every season. This setting adds years to life by drawing inhabitants out onto the serene trails for outdoor activity. Roughly three acres of possibly tillable open prairie sit on a south-facing slope. There are also several uniquely private potential building sites located throughout the acreage, providing the further possibility of splitting the property into sub-lots.
