Jarvinen Farm Homestead — 20 Acres + One-of-a-Kind U.P. Home Welcome to a home where you can truly raise a family—where the dreams and reality of self-sustainability meet the privacy and freedom many people seek in the U.P. countryside. This property offers a rare blend of natural beauty, functional outbuildings, and a one-of-a-kind house filled with warmth and character. Set on 20 rolling acres, you’ll enjoy a mix of hills, woodlands, and fields, plus large parcels of similar terrain surrounding the property. Apple and other fruit trees are abundant, along with raspberries, everblooming perennials, and apothecary herbs. Just off the patio is the “Secret Garden,” featuring a charming frog pond surrounded by a birding paradise of blooming bushes and trees. You can hear the babbling of Slapneck Creek, a Type 1 trout stream flowing through the southern end of the property—an ideal retreat on hot summer days, perfect for crayfish hunting, homemade boat launches, and brookie fishing. Walking the grounds, you’ll find five rustic outbuildings ready for immediate use or waiting for your ideas: a two-car garage with storage overhead; a two-story shop with electricity and wood heat with potential for additional living space; a creamery that can be used as a playhouse, “She Shack,” or cold storage; a garden shed; and a turn-of-the-century cordwood barn, one of the first in the area with rich history tied to the Jarvinen dairy farm. The home itself is truly unique for this area. 4 bedrooms, 3,000 sq. ft., and 1.5 baths combine the original farmhouse with a newer addition that opens the original floor plan. Enjoy big beams, knotty pine tongue-and-groove, custom cabinetry, hardwood and tile flooring, a fieldstone fireplace, and nostalgic fixtures. Tons of natural light support passive heating in winter and provide beautiful views from every room—watch the sunrise each morning while making your first pot of coffee. The main level features a large master bedroom with ample storage, a full bath with steam “spa shower,” newly renovted laundry with washer and dryer, a kitchen with cooking island, custom cabinets, new stove and refrigerator, a dining area with bay window, wood burning/cooking stove and daybed, and a spacious living room with high ceilings, huge picture windows, new fan and lighting, fieldstone fireplace, plus birdwatching and book nook spaces. The second floor includes three bedrooms with large closets, a half bath, linen closet, attic access, and a newly remodeled loft. The partially finished basement offers storage, seasonal/cold storage, and a hot tub area. Centrally located in Rock River Township, you’re about 30 minutes from Marquette, Munising, Gwinn, and Rapid River, and between Chatham and Rumely, just south of N country Trail. Close to Superior Central Schools. Schedule your showing and experience the Jarvinen Farm lifestyle—privacy, nature, and homestead.
