Overview
Hidden among 10 wooded acres and bordering thousands of acres of state land, this property feels less like a typical home and more like a private retreat. Bear Creek — a Blue Ribbon trout stream — runs just beyond the property line through the adjoining state land, creating a peaceful setting filled with wildlife, wooded trails, and the sounds of nature all around.
Inside, the home reflects creativity and personality at every turn. Thoughtful updates and artistic touches blend with warm, comfortable living spaces that are anything but cookie-cutter. Since 2023, the sellers have completed extensive improvements including a gas log fireplace, stained glass entry doors, refreshed sunroom, updated lighting and fixtures, kitchen updates, insulated attic, hot tub retreat with illuminated walkway, updated pond/fountain, and more.
The 56’ x 42’ insulated pole barn is fully heated and cooled and offers exceptional flexibility for hobbies, entertaining, workshop space, storage, or recreational use. Features include 220 wiring, car lift, air compressor, finished interior, surround sound, and updated lighting throughout. A powered chicken coop, hunting blind, and additional outdoor features further enhance the property’s one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
For buyers searching for privacy, personality, and a true Up North experience, this property offers a setting that’s difficult to duplicate. Just down the road from Crystal Mountain, 5 miles to Crystal Lake, and a short drive to Traverse City, Cadillac, and Manistee.
