Tucked beside more than 20 acres of untouched natural landscape—where deer wander and the call of the American woodcock echoes at dusk—this exceptional property offers a rare blend of privacy, sustainability, and thoughtful design. Located in the Lansing School District, it enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, medical facilities, and everyday conveniences.
This unique offering includes a special combination of lots (with an adjacent lot also for sale), where nature and comfort meet in perfect balance. Inside, warm bamboo flooring spans the first level, and a thoughtfully designed layout provides both openness and defined living spaces. The renovated den features custom built-ins, offering a quiet retreat, while the family room—with additional built-ins and a large screen TV that remains with the home—creates an inviting gathering space. A formal dining room adds elegance, and the kitchen with a large island is ideal for both function and connection.
Step outside to a multi-level deck overlooking a backyard oasis with a full-depth swim spa/pool. Designer landscaping, a brick walkway, and a fire pit set the scene for relaxing evenings. The expansive yard features perennial plantings, a fully fenced garden with mature fruit trees, and bluebird nesting boxes lining the driveway. A powered shed adds flexibility, while the circular driveway, stone walkways, front yard lighting, and a two basketball hoop full court enhance curb appeal and outdoor fun.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers an expansive walk-in closet with in-suite laundry and excellent organization. A bonus storage room above the garage adds versatility. The finished walk-out basement includes a brand-new full bath, zoned mini-split system, and flexible space for guests, recreation, or entertaining, with a premium surround sound system included.
Additional features include a large storage area with shelving, double sump pumps with French drain, a 7.5kW solar system, tankless water heater, whole-house generator, and a 440V EV charging outlet. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle defined by comfort, efficiency, and connection to nature.
