Country living with room to grow! Surrounded by the open countryside of Northern Michigan this charming farmhouse offers a peaceful setting with plenty of space to garden, enjoy the outdoors and create your own version of country living. Mature trees provide shade around the home while the surrounding property offers a combination of open lawn, garden areas and more natural acreage. Enjoy sunsets from the front porch, sunrises from the back porch and when evening arrives, clear starry skies and summer nights filled with lightning bugs. Garden beds are already established, along with the beginnings of a small orchard featuring four Macintosh apple trees and two Bartlett pear trees—with plenty of room to expand. Several small outbuildings and fenced areas provide useful space for storage, gardening or hobby-farm pursuits. Fenced pasture, lean-to for livestock shelter. The larger Amish built shed with loft includes fencing materials and tools currently used for upkeep of the fencing. A spacious yard surrounds the home, while the acreage beyond offers a more natural landscape with a mix of open areas, scattered trees and wildlife habitat. The traditional two-story Sears & Roebuck farmhouse is complemented by a metal roof and multiple porch areas overlooking the property. Set along a quiet country road amid neighboring farmland and expansive rural views, this is the kind of property that invites you to slow down, spread out and enjoy the simple pleasures of country life. Whether you're dreaming of bigger gardens, expanding the orchard, keeping a few animals or simply having more room around you, there's plenty of opportunity here to make it your own. Recent improvements include all new lighting, freshly painted interior, freshly painted decks, some newer flooring, roof & windows, new driveway! This home is move-in ready!
