Welcome to a truly exceptional 40-acre country retreat where a beautifully remodeled home, versatile outbuildings, livestock and equestrian facilities, multiple building opportunities, and breathtaking timberland come together to create an incredible property. The completely remodeled 1,800+/- square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and is filled with thoughtful updates and improvements. The spacious living room features a fireplace and opens to the expansive back deck, where you can relax and take in beautiful views overlooking the property. The home also features a large covered front porch, a walkout basement, new windows, and new electrical panels. The main bathrooms have been updated, while the kitchen has been beautifully refreshed with all-new cupboards. New buyers will have the opportunity to select their own countertops, allowing them to choose the color and material that best suits their style. The kitchen and dining room are complemented by new whitewashed knotty pine ceilings, adding warmth and character to these inviting spaces. Outside, the front yard features a large concrete patio with power already in place and a setup ready for a hot tub—an ideal place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and watch the livestock. The property also offers paddocks and multiple functional livestock areas, along with lean-to structures on the back and side of the barn for additional shelter, equipment, and storage. A major highlight is the impressive 46' x 56' pole barn, which is set up to function as a shop while also offering tremendous versatility for equipment, projects, storage, or future hobby use. A new concrete slab was installed last fall, including a specially reinforced and thicker section designed for a drive-on lift, along with a drain. The pole barn also has a new electrical panel, adding to its functionality. With the existing shop setup, expansive floor space, and additional lean-to areas, this is a property where work, storage, livestock, and recreation can all come together. The barn also includes stables and connects directly to a fenced loafing/riding area, providing an excellent setup for horses, livestock, or anyone looking for a functional country property. The combination of paddocks, stables, loafing/riding areas, and additional shelter makes the property well-suited for a variety of equestrian and livestock uses. 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, much of the necessary 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 outstanding hunting and recreational ground. A creek runs through the property, offering fishing opportunities while adding to the beauty, privacy, 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, hobbyist, or simply looking for a peaceful country escape, this property offers an incredible combination of amenities and possibilities. From the remodeled home and updated kitchen to the shop-ready pole barn, paddocks, stables, lean-tos, pasture, timber, trails, creek, and additional building site, there is room here to pursue a wide variety of country-living dreams. 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 true four-season destination. Beautifully remodeled living space, a versatile shop-ready pole barn, livestock and equestrian facilities, multiple building opportunities, gorgeous timber, established trails, pasture, food plot potential, potential tillable acreage, outstanding deer and turkey hunting, fishing, and four-season recreational opportunities—all come together on this remarkable 40-acre property.
