Tucked well off the road on 40 private acres, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the kind of quiet Northern Michigan setting that is getting harder to find. Surrounded by mature woods, rolling hills and abundant wildlife, the property offers plenty of room to explore, hike, hunt, ride, snowshoe or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of your own land. The home has been exceptionally well cared for with numerous updates inside and out. The kitchen features marble countertops, newer appliances and updated finishes, complemented by oak hardwood floors throughout the main level and brand-new carpeting in the lower level. The main floor features a spacious primary suite with private bath, convenient laundry and an inviting screened porch just off the kitchen—a great spot for morning coffee or relaxing while taking in the wooded surroundings. The walkout lower level adds two additional bedrooms and a comfortable family room with direct access to the outdoors. Recent improvements include new siding, a new roof and gutters, whole-house generator, newer well pump and water softener, underground sprinkler system, garage door and opener, along with additional excavation, landscaping and improvements to the driveway approach and yard areas. The shaded lawn and established landscaping create a welcoming setting around the home, while the acreage beyond feels wonderfully private and natural. High-speed internet adds the flexibility to work from home without giving up the quiet Up North lifestyle. Located near Crystal Mountain and within an easy drive of Benzonia, Beulah, Frankfort, Lake Michigan, Traverse City, Cadillac and Manistee, this property offers a rare combination of acreage, privacy, recreation and thoughtful updates.
