About This Home

As of May 2025

Located just 4 minutes North of Harbor Springs, this property's rural setting amongst bucolic pastures that dot the countryside just inland to the Tunnel of Trees along the Lake Michigan shoreline make it an ideal year-round or retirement home close to everything but with some space to enjoy a little less congestion and lower taxes. This great non-HOA home and property is completely remodeled and ready for immediate occupancy with over 3000 feet of indoor living space featuring an expansive rear deck and a covered front porch overlooking 2 acres of diverse landscape. With a pond, fenced garden area, irrigated lawn, large garage workshop, kids' playhouse, chicken coop, and private fire pit.... the outside of this property has a little something for everyone. Inside this sprawling floor plan offers unique spaces spread across three floors featuring a main floor primary suite, three bedrooms upstairs, and a finished lower level for recreation or hobbies. The custom touches crafted into this home and grounds are too many to list, and again this is not a fixer-upper, it's done, inside and out. With construction prices being where they are this house could not be duplicated for anywhere close to this price. So, whether you are looking for a family home within the coveted Harbor Springs School District, a place to come and spend the weekends close to town, the lake, ski hills, hiking/biking trails, or a retirement haven with a large main floor footprint but room for guests when you need them, 3859 Middle Road offers it all. The sellers have already moved to their new home, so this is available to be seen immediately, contact today for a private tour.
