About This Home

As of August 2025

Now's your chance to own nearly 5 private acres in the heart of Sawyer—just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, Warren Dunes State Park, & only a half mile to downtown Sawyer. This exceptional property offers endless possibilities to create your own private recreational playground. Mornings call for a walk on the secluded carved in trails, with relaxed evenings sipping wine under the catalpa trees. This charming farmhouse has been restored while retaining its original character, making it ideal as a primary home, short term rental, or a quiet weekend escape. Features include original hardwood floors, a sun-drenched enclosed front porch, and an open floor plan. Notable updates include high speed Xfinity, new roof (Sept '22,) upgraded back deck (May '25,) major home improvements in 2014 including energy-efficient spray foam insulation, upgraded electrical, and plumbing. Beyond the home, the property includes 3 outbuildings including a detached one-car garage, a barn and a shed, perfect for bikes and beach toys. An expansive west lot provides ample space for an abundant produce garden, wildflower farm, or your own private vineyard. Zoned agricultural, the possibilities are endless! Schedule your tour today.
