Escape to your own private Northern Michigan retreat! Tucked away on 10 beautiful wooded acres of mature hardwoods, this custom-built home offers the peace and tranquility you've been searching for. A winding driveway leads you through the trees to a picturesque hilltop setting where the only sounds you'll hear are birds singing and nature all around you. Designed with comfort and functionality in mind, this well-built home features an inviting open floor plan with expansive living and dining areas centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The spacious kitchen is perfect for everyday living and entertaining, offering abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and a peninsula with bar seating. The home includes two oversized bedrooms, each with large walk-in closets, including a private primary suite with its own full bathroom. Natural light pours through the home, and each bedroom, along with the kitchen and dining area, features sliding glass doors leading to the wraparound deck—creating the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, watch wildlife, or simply relax in the peaceful surroundings. The full walkout basement is unfinished, offering endless possibilities for additional living space, recreation, or a home office, and already includes a bathroom for added convenience. Outside, you'll find an impressive barn complete with a loft for storage and a dedicated workshop area, making it ideal for hobbies, equipment, vehicles, or even a future home-based business. With a recently installed boiler, quality craftsmanship throughout, and a setting that's both secluded and just minutes from Lake City, this property truly offers the best of both worlds.
