About This Home
**Nature Lover’s Dream: 75+ Acres of Pristine Wilderness with Private Lake, Luxury Lodge & Boundless Outdoor Possibilities** Encompassing just over 75 acres of unspoiled northwest Michigan wilderness, this one-of-a-kind estate is a sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts, conservationists, and those seeking ultimate seclusion. At its heart lies a spring-fed 7-acre lake—Fairbanks Lake—surrounded by towering pine forests, a rolling meadow and a diverse landscape that invites hiking, hunting, wildlife observation, and year-round adventure. The land is the true centerpiece here, offering a dynamic mix of wooded acreage, open fields, and established trail systems that weave through the property, perfect for ATV rides, horseback exploration, cross-country skiing, or simply enjoying nature in its purest form. The expansive acreage provides unmatched privacy, with room to expand, build additional structures, or simply preserve your personal wilderness. Nestled within this private paradise is a 6,813 sq ft ranch-style lodge, seamlessly blending rustic elegance with modern comfort. With 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and rich lodge-style finishes—including knotty pine walls, stained glass accents, and six fireplaces—it’s a warm, welcoming retreat for family and friends. A chef’s dream, the gourmet kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a generous pantry ideal for entertaining. The main-floor primary suite is a peaceful haven of its own, boasting panoramic lake views, a heart-shaped soaking tub, and direct access to a large elevated deck. Outside, the home invites you to fully embrace the outdoors, with an in-ground pool, fire pit, and multiple viewing decks offering front-row seats to Michigan’s changing seasons .A heated, fully equipped pole barn expands the property's functionality, complete with a workshop, office, half bath, hot/cold water, and even a 100 yard outdoor shooting range—perfect for sport or preparation for the surrounding National Forest.
