About This Home
Tucked nearly a quarter-mile down a federal trail, this FULLY FURNISHED hidden Baldwin retreat sits surrounded by the untouched beauty of the Manistee National Forest. At 8727 S Hayes Rd, you're not just buying a home—you're claiming a private slice of Northern Michigan where wildlife roam freely, air smells like pine, and the only sounds are birdsong and crackling wood.
This 2-bed, 1.5-bath cottage offers approx. 750 sq ft on a peaceful .35-acre lot that feels endlessly larger thanks to the surrounding forest. The main level has been thoughtfully remodeled and features vaulted ceilings, a cozy wood-burning stove, and a spacious three-season room that brings the outdoors in. A full basement offers room to expand—finish it for added living space or create extra bedrooms to suit your needs Step out onto the 12x14 deck for morning coffee with the deer or evening stargazing under the canopy. Just minutes from Big Star Lake, Reed Lake, Pere Marquette River, and miles of trails for ORVs, hiking, and snowmobiling, this home is the ideal basecamp for adventure or a tranquil haven to unplug.
Whether you're seeking solitude, recreation, or a little of both, this secluded hideaway offers the rare kind of peace that can't be found on a map only in the woods.
