About This Home
As of July 2025Here is an awesome property that has it all. Just minutes from Houghton Lake, the possibilities on this 46-acre parcel are endless. The home is approximately 2,000 +/- sq. ft. with an open floor plan including 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Adjacent to the kitchen is a very large enclosed porch with Tongue and groove pine harvested from the property, large picture windows overlooking the pond, and a wood stove that will allow you to sit by the fire and enjoy the view. There is also a large covered porch that is open and has all rough-sawn lumber in the ceiling as well, which would be the perfect spot for some patio furniture. The pond has it's own dedicated well, which allows you to fill it if ever needed during those dry summer months and includes a windmill that runs an aeration pump. The windmill needs a little TLC, but the seller has all the components for it. The home also has a very large, fully finished 2.5 car attached garage with garage door openers. There is a very nice 30x40 pole barn with 2 large overhead doors and an additional finished heated bunkhouse that is approximately 20x30 and can sleep up to 16 people. The bunkhouse has a door wall leading to the pond in the backyard and would be a great place for guests to have privacy in their own space while visiting. The pole barn and bunkhouse are both plumbed and ready for wood boiler heat. Additional outbuildings include a horse barn with a taller roof for camper or boat storage, a single-car detached garage approximately 16x24, a chicken coop, a smaller stable that was used for mini horses in the past, and an approximate 8'x12' storage shed behind the bunkhouse. With a little TLC, this could be an amazing homestead for someone with all the buildings in a great setting. Minutes from Houghton Lake and approximately 4 miles from the trailhead, this one is in an excellent location.
The property has some very diverse timber with a little bit of everything. Thick areas with lots of wildlife including Deer, Turkey and Bear. There are many different species of fruit trees scattered throughout the property including apple, pear and plum, the seller says approximately 25 fruit trees on the property and all are producing fruit. There are some perfect spots for food plots for the hunter and just to the south of the property is a large chunk of state land for even more recreational activities as well. It all that is not enough, as a nice bonus, there is also an active cell tower on the backside of the property that provides some nice annual income as well which is believed to be transferrable to the new owner. A copy of the lease can be provided to qualified buyers or licensed agents for review. This one has it all and surely won't last long.
