The 730-square-foot basement features stone walls, a concrete floor with a floor drain, extensive built-in storage, and two workbenches?perfect for hobbies, projects, or additional storage. Step outside and experience nearly 20 acres of scenic countryside. Once actively farmed, the land has naturally evolved into a beautiful mix of mature deciduous woods, open meadows, and abundant wildlife habitat. A picturesque half-acre pond lies approximately one-third of the way into the 1,961-foot-deep property. Nearly a mile of maintained walking trails winds through the woods, crossing a charming wooden bridge and providing endless opportunities for recreation and exploration. The property includes exceptional outbuildings suited for a variety of uses. A 36 x 48 metal-sided pole barn features two oversized overhead doors, two access doors, and an 8 x 12 heated workshop complete with electricity and built-in shelving. Also on the property is an impressive approximately 50 x 50 historic gambrel-roof barn. The original section, constructed in 1890, features a fieldstone foundation, while a 1916 addition includes a concrete floor and former horse stalls. The upper level served as a seasonal art gallery for 25 years, showcasing the barns remarkable versatility. In recognition of its thoughtful restoration and adaptive reuse, the barn received the Michigan Barn Preservation Networks Barn of the Year Award in 2008. Outdoor living is equally inviting. A 13 x 26 screened porch, added in 1992, sits atop a deck originally built in the late 1980s and provides the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, outdoor dining, or peaceful evenings overlooking the property.
