    What's special

    Welcome to a truly exceptional 40-acre country retreat where a beautifully remodeled home, outstanding recreational opportunities, livestock facilities, multiple building sites, and breathtaking timberland come together in one remarkable property. The completely remodeled 1,800+/- square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, along with a spacious living room highlighted by a fireplace, a large covered front porch, and a walkout basement. Step outside onto the expansive back deck and take in the amazing views overlooking the property. The front yard features a large concrete patio with power already in place and a setup ready for a hot tub—an ideal spot to relax and enjoy watching the livestock. A 46' x 56' pole barn provides plenty of room for livestock, equipment, and storage. The barn includes stables and connects directly to a fenced loafing/riding area, making this an ideal setup for horses, livestock, or anyone looking for a functional country property. Adding even more value is a second building site, already equipped with power, water, and septic. Whether you're looking to build a guest home, family retreat, additional residence, or simply preserve the opportunity for the future, the infrastructure is already in place. The land is truly the focal point of this property. The upper portion surrounding the home and barns features gorgeous potential building sites, excellent pasture areas, and ground that could easily be converted to tillable acreage or strategically developed into food plots. The timbered acreage is exceptional, with an established trail system winding throughout the property and providing access to some outstanding hunting and recreational ground. A creek runs through the property, offering fishing opportunities while adding to the beauty and wildlife habitat. Wildlife is abundant, with deer and turkey throughout the property and the potential for black bear and even the occasional elk to pass through. Whether you're an avid hunter, equestrian enthusiast, outdoorsman, farmer, or simply looking for a peaceful country escape, this property offers something for everyone. And the location makes this retreat even more appealing. You're just minutes from top-notch wineries, Torch Lake, and Lake Michigan, while still enjoying the privacy and seclusion of your own 40-acre sanctuary. For winter recreation enthusiasts, miles of snowmobile trails are also nearby, making this a year-round destination. The possibilities are truly endless: a beautiful country home, livestock and equestrian facilities, multiple additional building sites, gorgeous timber, an established trail system, food plot potential, excellent pasture, potential tillable acreage, outstanding deer and turkey hunting, fishing, and four-season recreational opportunities—all in one property. Opportunities like this don't come along often. Come experience the views, land, wildlife, and endless possibilities for yourself. Contact us today to schedule your private showing!
