About This Home

For the first time ever, the historic Anderson/Arbury Farm is being offered for sale—an exceptional property rich in character, history, and opportunity. Situated on approximately 217 acres with an incredible 7,550 feet of frontage on the beautiful Chippewa River & 4950 ft of road frontage, this legacy estate features a Mid-Century Modern home with architectural renovations by Alden B. Dow. The main level of the home offers 1,782 sq ft of living space, complemented by an additional 1,150 sq ft in the finished, walk-out lower level. The home includes two fireplaces, two furnaces, and two AC units, generator, along with an attached two-car garage. Large windows provide stunning views of the river, creating a peaceful and inspiring setting. In addition to the main residence, the property includes a 25'x19' pool house and pool offering finished living space complete with a murphy bed, fireplace, and full bathroom—ideal for guests or entertaining. The estate also includes four impressive outbuildings with a variety of uses. Two large barns—measuring 160x60 ft and 95x40 ft—both feature cement floors and are fully insulated and heated. The 95x40 ft barn also includes a finished half bath. A third barn is attached to the original barn and features additional finished space (lift not included). Near the road, there is a 30x32 ft heated garage with a cement floor, providing even more storage. The land itself is a perfect blend of open farmland and natural riverfront. The farm fields are currently planted with soybeans and under lease until this fall, offering the potential for continued agricultural income or a new vision for the property. Whether you're seeking a private homestead, a working farm, a multi-generational compound, or a unique venue space, this one-of-a-kind property delivers space, history, and flexibility in a breathtaking setting. This is more than just a property—it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Mid-Michigan heritage with architectural distinction, versatile outbuildings, and one of the most scenic stretches of riverfront in Central Michigan.
