Skandia Farm with more than 40 Acres of Beautiful Land and Natural Gas! If you have ever dreamed of living on a quiet country farm you have found your piece of heaven right here. This well kept Country home with natural woodwork is set like a picture postcard among the rolling hills, lush green fields, towering Maples and hearty apple trees. This home is move in ready featuring the charm of a traditional Finnish Farm House, but you may choose to do some updates and decorate to your own taste. Boasting efficient, reliable and low cost NATURAL GAS, which is impossible to find in the Skandia area combined with a nearly new High Efficiency Furnace helps keep the cost of living low. The Well and Water Heater are newer also. There is a metal roof and covered porch and enclosed entry. The home is perfectly set off a quiet and plowed County Road providing privacy and peace. A third bedroom was used in the landing area of the stairs where the previous owners had a couple beds, but the home is listed as a two bedroom. The landing is not a true bedroom, but it worked for other families. The home has a perfect layout for expansion if you wish for a great master bedroom or family room possibly. The barn is sturdy, ready to be used and built to to last, with stalls for horses and cows, a chicken brooding area, storage for Tractors, a Hayloft and a workshop. Water is run to the barn. There is a sauna which the previous owner began to remodel and is now completely gutted and incomplete so it could be finished the way you like. The driveway is lined with with a rainbow of flowers and perennial gardens. As you would expect in the gorgeous yard are raspberry bushes, fruit, a tremendous rhubarb patch, lilacs and more with splashes of beautiful color in every direction from a variety of plants and shrubs. A large pond is pretty, tranquil and a haven for wildlife such as ducks, cranes and beaver. The walk to the Pond brings you through a clean forest of Healthy Maples, great for making your own Maple Syrup. Whitetail Deer trails cross the property where they can snack on the wild apples or sip the cool waters of the pond. Cranes prance through the field, ducks and geese enjoy the pond, and Pollinators are attracted to the fresh scents of colorful blooms. Prime sandy loam soil grows tremendous organic vegetables, feeds healthy livestock and there is a great big hay field. A Michigan Off Road Trail is close by so you can take off from your home and ride to most of the the great U.P. The neighbors are great and helpful, but you can't see a single one of them from your home and yard so the sounds of nature may be your only distraction. These Historic Farms are getting harder and harder to come by, but living a lifestyle with room to breathe and for kids to run and play is very gratifying. Let it begin right here and now.
