Private 10-Acre Ranch with Open Floor Plan & Sweat-Equity Potential! This 2 bed, 1 bath ranch-style home sits on a private 10-acre setting and directly borders 117 acres of Manistee National Forest, offering unmatched privacy, wildlife views, and immediate access to outdoor recreation right from your backyard. Much of the prep work has been started, with most flooring removed and walls and floors primed, providing a blank canvas for the next owner to make it their own. The home features a full, unfinished basement offering excellent storage or future bonus space. A large 3-season sun porch adds additional square footage, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Appliances stay. An old wood boiler is present (condition unknown). Outside, enjoy the privacy this property offers along with a detached 2-stall garage and an attached carport, providing plenty of extra space for a variety of needs.
