Rustic Retreat with Modern Comforts – A Hidden Gem Near the Pine River Tucked back behind a winding drive and mature trees, this one-of-a-kind pole barn cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. Whether you’re looking for a family getaway, hunting camp, or multi-use retreat, this property delivers. Set on 10 wooded acres complete with walking trails and a small apple orchard, the property invites exploration, wildlife watching, and year-round enjoyment. Located near three separate Pine River access points and adjacent to hundreds of acres of state land, outdoor adventure is right at your doorstep. The main structure features a thoughtfully designed living space with ADA-accessible shower/tub unit conveniently located in the laundry room, multiple heat sources throughout a cozy rustic setting. The garage portion of the pole barn is fully insulated and heated, complete with hot and cold water, and boasts two overhead doors—one 10’ high and one 8’ high—perfect for storing recreational equipment or vehicles. An additional finished partitioned room offers flexible use as a mudroom, kid’s sleeping nook, gear room, or whatever suits your needs. Several lean-to additions provide even more covered storage for vehicles or toys. Pet owners will appreciate the fenced-in area, and the entire home is generator-ready for peace of mind in all seasons. Also included on the property is a second rustic cabin with its own well and septic, ideal for guests or a separate family hideaway. Plus, a cement pad with RV hookup (electrical on site) expands the options even further. This is more than just a property—it’s an opportunity to create lasting memories in a private, peaceful setting. Whether for year-round use, seasonal fun, or investment potential, you won’t want to miss this versatile slice of Northern Michigan serenity.
