5511 Westside Dr, Alger, MI 48610

This 3,006 square foot home sits at the end of a private road on 9.46 wooded acres with direct frontage on the Middle Branch Tittabawassee River, offering serious privacy, no through traffic, and the kind of space, setting, and utility that’s hard to find. Outside, you’ll find a 48x32 pole barn for all your tools, toys, and storage needs, plus a detached garage and a full wraparound porch that gives you multiple spots to take in the view. This is also an excellent location for hunting, with heavily wooded acreage on-site and state land located directly across from the property—offering even more room to explore and hunt without ever losing the convenience of home base. Inside, the layout was made for comfort and function. Walk in the front door, and to your left is a laundry area and half bath—smartly placed near the entry. To the right, the home opens up to a large living room that connects to the dining area and a kitchen designed for a chef's cooking, with granite countertops, plenty of prep space, and room to move. On the main level, the primary bedroom offers privacy, an ensuite bath, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms—one with its own door out to a private balcony overlooking the river—plus a large sitting area, full bath, and an oversized storage closet across the hall. The basement offers another 500+ sq ft of finished space with a walkout to the backyard and patio, giving you another functional living area or rec space. This home has central air, forced air heat, and a wood burner hookup for additional heating. A whole-house generator is already wired and ready when you need it. Whether you’re looking for space to spread out, hobby buildings for projects or storage, or just want to live where you can enjoy the outdoors right from your own backyard—this place delivers. Homes with this much land, privacy, water frontage, square footage, and utility don’t come around often.
