Steeped in history and surrounded by nature, this charming 1884 log home sits privately back from the road amid mature trees, perennial gardens, and 10 delightful acres that include wandering trails and a small stream (once a dammed pond). Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character and charm, the home offers inviting intimate spaces including a spacious living room with wood stove, separate dining room, a welcoming three-season porch and substantial deck. The flexible main floor features a bedroom with adjoining bath while upstairs there's two bedrooms, full bath and a family room with office space that can easily serve as a bunk room. Two seasonal cottages provide opportunities for guest accommodations, creative studios, or hobby spaces. It's hard to stop watching the wildlife from the cozy kitchen that overlooks the deck and picturesque setting. A vintage animal and hay barn, potting shed, garden and pasture areas plus grapevines provide endless possibilities for hobby farming, homesteading or a cottage business. Perfectly located on a main road for four-season recreation, the North Western State Trail is across the street, with the North Country Trail, Inland Waterway, Maple River, golf, skiing, dining, and numerous Northern Michigan attractions 30 minutes or less away. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, family retreat, or recreational getaway, this one-of-a-kind property offers the space, charm, and setting to create lasting memories for generations to come.
