If you're looking for more than just a home—something with space, privacy, income potential, and real investment value—this rare 34-acre estate is worth a closer look. Tucked away in a quiet setting that feels like your own private nature preserve, this property includes two homes, a spring-fed pond, multiple natural springs, and acres of untouched land—yet you're still just minutes from town, and under 6 miles from Lake Michigan, Torch Lake, and the Chain-of-Lakes. It’s the kind of place that rarely hits the market. The main home (inside the Village limits) is a beautifully kept 3-bed, 2.5-bath with an open layout, vaulted ceilings, a heated garage, and even a potential she-shed. Move-in ready and ideal for year-round living or extended stays. The second residence (technically a “barn” but fully finished upstairs) offers a 2-bed, 1¾-bath living space with its own heat source, private deck, matching storage shed, and an RV hookup with concrete pad and sewer. It’s perfect as a guest house, a short-term rental, or even a separate family retreat. Need flexibility? You’ve got options: * Keep both homes for multi-generational living or extra rental income * Live in one and rent or sell the other * Sell the acreage and barn, and keep the Village home or * Develop or conserve the land—it’s rich with potential! And the lifestyle? Think peaceful mornings by the pond, wildlife out your window, and weekends spent on the slopes at Boyne or Schuss, or kayaking through Michigan’s most iconic lakes. This isn’t just a property—it’s a smart investment in space, privacy, and possibility! Schedule your showing today and see what makes this place so special.
