15500 16th Rd, Garden, MI 49835

On Michigan’s sought-after Garden Peninsula, this exceptional property showcases why so many are drawn to the Upper Peninsula’s beauty, lifestyle, and sense of community. The U.P. offers a grandeur unlike anywhere else—more intimate and approachable than the distant panoramas of the West. Whether it’s the thundering waters of Tahquamenon Falls, the sweeping ridges of the Porcupine Mountains, the breathtaking Lake of the Clouds, the dramatic cliffs of Pictured Rocks, or the awe-inspiring Brockway Mountain Drive high above the Keweenaw, you’re never far from scenes that will awaken your senses. Here, on a large, landscaped parcel with high-producing apple trees, berries, a fenced garden with grapevines ready for this fall’s harvest, and views of Garden Bay, you can live that beauty every day. Just a short walk from the state boat launch with its quality concrete ramp, you can be on the water fishing, kayaking, or boating in minutes—or enjoy a quiet shoreline cast. The charming town of Garden is close by, with restaurants, post office, grocery, gas, art shops, and a great golf course. Nearby attractions include Fayette Historic State Park, Kitch-iti-kipi (The Big Spring), and the historic fishing village of Fairport. The 3-story home features two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs; main-level kitchen, dining, and living spaces with a half bath, fireplace, and a full-width covered deck perfect for lake breezes and deer-watching; plus a finished walkout lower level with den, spare room, full bath, and storage. Beautiful interior finishes include pine, hardwood, and recently installed laminate floors, cedar tongue-and-groove walls, and 6-panel pine doors for that “up north” charm. The large insulated and heated 3-car garage pairs with a separate cold-storage pole barn, while the entry deck’s hot tub area with privacy screen offers a relaxing retreat. Kitchen appliances and washer/dryer are included. The property is available for showings during a 7-day window, with offers due by Thursday the 21st at Noon and same-day response planned.
