For sale in the U.P. of Michigan: Price negotiable, all reasonable offers will be considered. 1500 sq ft (main level) 13 year old ranch style home located in the middle of 20 quiet, private acres of mostly wooded land just a few miles from the friendly small U.P. town of Iron River, MI. The main attraction here is quiet and privacy, surrounded by nature. The house is set far back from the [low-traffic] road, and not visible summer or winter due to an abundance of evergreen trees. The property boasts several productive apple trees, many choke cherry trees, and both wild and tame raspberry bushes. A prolific group of rhubarb plants in front of the house produces all summer long. Wildlife of all kinds, including deer, rabbits, and turkeys frequent the property, making for entertaining viewing from the large 2nd floor deck on the main level, overlooking the field. Other features of the property include a spacious concrete-floor 2+ car detached garage with storage loft and power, a large 30'X60' fenced in vegetable garden placed for maximum sun close to the home, and plenty of space to park vehicles, campers, and other toys out of the way when not in use. A large concrete pad directly behind the home could be converted into a large patio area, or [as we use it] parking for RVs and other vehicles year round. An older wood fired sauna is located directly behind the house - it needs some TLC but could be made usable with minimal effort and cost. Features include a large master suite with jacuzzi tub, shower stall, dual sinks just off the living area. The living room has a large picture window overlooking the field and parking area, and has a wood burning fireplace. The dining area has a patio door that opens onto a rear deck that overlooks the back of the home, and is the perfect size for grilling near the dinner table. The kitchen has a large amount of counter space and storage, and a spacious walk in pantry. At the end of the kitchen is the upstairs laundry/mud room with a small porch accessing the north yard. The basement is unfinished, perfect for converting to a rec room. The lower floor is at ground level in front, and has a drive-in single car garage with workshop space perfect for summer or wintertime projects. A wall separates the garage/shop from the rest of the basement, which constitutes about 2/3 of the lower level. Primary heat is LP gas forced air. Also installed are three standalone LP wall heaters (requiring no electricity in case of a [rare] power outage) to get the chill out, or efficiently heat single areas of the home on chilly evenings not requiring the main furnace. The wall heaters alone are sufficient to heat the home during winter as a backup. Secondary heat is a forced air wood furnace located in the downstairs garage, with standalone stainless steel chimney behind the house. Wood furnace is separately ducted to different areas of the house, controlled by a thermostat upstairs, and intake air is filtered as with the main furnace. Inclusion of wood furnace itself with home negotiable. Central air conditioning is installed in the main LP furnace. Water comes from a well located in the basement of the home, powered by an efficient 110V shallow well pump w/ 30 gallon press. tank. Water quality is excellent. Septic/drain field is on the south yard. Nearby attractions include Ottawa National Forest bordering the property. The home is a few short miles from cold, clean, clear Ottawa Lake. This lake is surrounded by National Forest land, and is completely undeveloped, except for the Forest Service campground and park with hiking trails and pavillions. Boat launch is next to the park, and the lake boasts good fishing. Make this your retirement getaway, home away from home, hunting property, or just to escape to a simpler, quieter way of life.
