Custom Barndominium on 11.76 Acres – Private, Peaceful, and Built with Purpose
Tucked into 11.33 acres of native prairie, wildflowers, and young woods, this 2,560 sq ft custom barndominium offers rare privacy with no neighbors to the sides or behind. Located just 20 minutes from Lansing and several small towns, it’s a quiet, scenic setting surrounded by mint fields and wide-open skies.
The land is thoughtfully designed for wildlife, outdoor living, and low-maintenance country life. A professionally installed marsh with a stop log system created with help from Michigan Fish & Game, draws in ducks, turkeys, pheasants, deer, woodcock, and migratory birds. Paths throughout the property make it easy to explore and maintain the landscape.
For hunters, the property includes an insulated elevated deer blind and two Trex-deck duck blinds overlooking the marsh — perfectly positioned and built to last. Whether you’re hunting or just observing, this land delivers year-round wildlife interaction. There’s also plenty of open space for gardening, homesteading, or expanding your footprint.
A new upgraded well and high-capacity pump with an agriculture-ready outdoor faucet makes irrigation and future growth simple.
Inside the home:
• Steel siding and roof for long-term durability and low maintenance
• Spray foam insulation throughout
• Electric heated floors
• Mini-split AC/heat with attic air mover for fresh air circulation
• 10’ ceilings with exposed cedar beams and tongue-and-groove ceiling
• Andersen 700 Series UV-rated windows and slider
• Solid wood interior doors
The kitchen and living areas feature custom black walnut shelving, a live-edge mantel, butcher block counters, premium KitchenAid appliances, and a spacious, custom-built food pantry. A handmade bathroom vanity and large walk-in closet add functional character to the space.
The attached 1,600 sq ft heated and insulated garage includes two 9’ doors, two floor drains, and room for tools, gear, or a workshop. Outside, enjoy a crushed asphalt circle drive, aggregate front porch, and Trex rear deck — all built for long life and minimal upkeep.
The upgraded septic system is already set to support more bathrooms, a cabin, or a home addition — offering flexibility for future growth.
Enjoy low-maintenance living in a peaceful, private setting where you can watch the sunset, listen to frogs, and sit under the stars while fireflies light up warm summer nights.
