Tucked away on 14 peaceful acres in the countryside, this charming 3-bedroom, 1 and a half-bath home offers the perfect blend of rural self-sufficiency and modern comfort. The home has seen thoughtful updates throughout, including a fully renovated kitchen in 2025, refreshed laundry and bathroom in 2022, and updated ceilings and flooring in 2021. Central air conditioning was added in 2023, keeping things comfortable all summer long. And in the winter you can enjoy supplemental heat provided by a wood stove on the main floor and a pellet stove in the partially finished basement. Outside, the property is set up for the good life. A detached garage built with Skandia trusses provides excellent storage or workshop space. A dedicated woodshed keeps your fuel supply organized and protected, while a recreational shed offers flexible space for equipment, hobbies, or seasonal gear. The chicken coop is ready for your flock, making this an ideal setup for anyone looking to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle. At roughly 1,504 square feet of above-grade living space on a generous 14-acre parcel, there's a trail system flowing throughout the land as well. Located just a short drive from the Houghton Lift Bridge along scenic M-203 and Bear Lake Road, you're close enough to town amenities while enjoying the privacy and tranquility of country living.
