11.14 acres of hardwoods and evergreens, 8226 Buttermilk Lane is for the buyer who wants more than a house. They want room to breathe, space to explore, and a property that feels like an escape every time they come home. With approximately 900 feet of private frontage along Buttermilk Creek, this is the kind of setting that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Inside, more than 2,700 finished square feet offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths across a warm, inviting floor plan. Natural wood throughout gives the home an authentic Northern Michigan character, complemented by cathedral ceilings, a fireplace, granite kitchen countertops, island kitchen, pantry and mudroom. The finished walkout lower level adds flexible living space, while the attached two-car garage and workshop provide room for projects, gear and everyday life. But the real story is outside. Walk the woods. Follow the creek. Plant a garden. Bring the RV. Create trails. Add an outbuilding. Horses are allowed, and with more than 11 acres, there is space here to make the property your own. A covered porch and deck offer places to slow down and take in the quiet countryside setting. This isn't polished suburban living, and it isn't trying to be. It's privacy, acreage, water and the warmth of a true Northern Michigan home, all in one remarkable property. If you've been waiting for more land, more freedom and a little less noise, this may be the one.
