Live 8 minutes from town with amazing wildlife and homesteading opportunities! It feels like vacation at home year-round. Recreation opportunities around the 4+ acre pond are amazing in all seasons and the views are a dream. It is conveniently located - 8 minutes to the grocery store/town/school! This home is the Houghton Portage Township School District. Situated on 24 acres, the property has a 4.6 acre pond* with it's own island and private 3/4 mile loop trail. Ski or show shoe the trail in the winter and bike or jog it in the summer while you pick wild strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. Forage for mushrooms and greens in spring and fall. View otters, herons, cranes, turkeys, snowshoe hares, bears, deer and more from your cozy living room couch! Enter a beautiful sunroom where seedlings germinate to create your summer garden. The kitchen, and living room have an open layout for entertaining and enjoyment. You'll have privacy with no visible neighbors. The backyard has a fire pit and shelter to store outdoor toys or your RV. The garage is spacious for two cars plus projects or more toys. The driveway is large and can hold 11 cars. There is one full bath and a second half bath for the master. An indoor sauna provides a second shower. Designed with passive solar features - there are options for the sauna stove to heat the 6" slab floor and water heater. This property is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast or someone wanting to homestead with town amenities nearby. Schedule a showing to make this "unicorn" of a property in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula yours. *Current DNR regulations cap ponds at 3 acres so this is a gem of a property with a unique and large pond.
