This four-bedroom, one-and-a-half-story farmhouse sits on 2.5 acres just off I-75 between Standish and West Branch. Set on a hill with open views of surrounding farm fields, the property offers the kind of rural privacy people actually want. The home includes a nice garden plot ready for planting, plenty of yard space, and the kind of setting that feels quiet without being isolated. Easy highway access, country living, and room to breathe—that’s the draw here. Included are two outbuildings for storage. This property does need some TLC and is ready for your idyllic vision.
