About This Home
SEE VIDEO IN PHOTOS TAB. Live in your very own private woodland oasis! Tucked quietly into 11 acres of pristine woods in the heart of Texas Township, this property isn't just a home -- it's a rare and peaceful escape from the everyday. Surrounded by towering trees, winding trails, and the gentle hush of nature, this exceptional property offers the feeling of being miles from it all yet located just minutes from the conveniences of Kalamazoo and Portage. For those dreaming of privacy, beauty, and a deep connection to nature without sacrificing modern comfort, this woodland retreat is a truly special find. Set back from the road and completely enveloped by mature forest and winding acres of vineyards, the home makes an immediate impression. Its elegant, contemporary-meets-craftsman style blends seamlessly with its surroundings, creating a warm, inviting presence that feels both grounded and inspiring.Step inside, and you're greeted by walls of windows that blur the line between indoors and out. Every sightline is framed by nature, sunlight filtering through the trees, glimpses of deer in the distance, and the shifting colors of Michigan's four seasons.A Thoughtfully Designed Interior: The heart of the home is the living room, anchored by a stunning fireplace and surrounded by oversized windows that overlook the enormous deck and heated in-groundpool. The adjoining chef's kitchen features butcher block counters, custom cabinetry, seamless panel-ready refrigerator, and highly rated Miele double ranges, all designed with functionality and aesthetics in mind. A center island and snack bar provide space for gathering, while the connected dining area is perfect for larger events.A Private Retreat in the Primary Suite: The main-level primary suite offers a sanctuary within a sanctuary. Thoughtfully separated from the home's other bedrooms, it includes a spa-like bath with dual vanities, vaulted ceilings, private door to the deck, stunning fireplace, and a huge closet.Room to Live, Work, and Grow: Upstairs, you'll find a full bath and two additional bedrooms with an abundance of possibilities to be transformed into the adventurer's dream!

There's also a full bath, bedroom, fireplace, and full kitchen - ideal for guests, hobbies, or work-from-home needs.An Outdoor Lifestyle, Redefined: What truly sets this property apart is the land itself. With over 11 wooded acres to explore, this is more than a backyard, it's your own private nature preserve. Enjoy walking trails, meditation spots, and outdoor sitting areas where you can unplug, recharge, and reconnect. Enjoy relaxing in the screened in gazebo, sunset walks around the surrounding vineyards, or evening campfires around a firepit.
