Minutes from the Lake Michigan shoreline, 8023 S 56th offers a setting that is hard to find. This classic brick ranch sits in a peaceful, wood-rimmed clearing overlooking a wooded ravine with approximately 300 feet of Flower Creek. Set among farm fields and mature woodlands in one of West Michigan's most scenic rural stretches, the 3.25-acre property offers room to breathe, garden, and explore. A chicken coop is already in place, creating the beginnings of a small homestead, while the creek and natural ravine create a unique opportunity for recreational enjoyment and smaller-acreage hunting. Inside, the 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a comfortable floor plan with potential in the basement for future finished living space, hobbies or storage. An artesian-fed well was installed in 2026, and the roof is only a few years old, providing valuable updates.. Enjoy the privacy of the countryside and the convenient access to US31. It's time to step into quiet country living at 8023 56th.
