About This Home

Set in a beautiful rural setting just minutes from downtown Coloma, local wineries, farm stands, antique shops, the Sister Lakes area, Paw Paw Lake, Lake Michigan beaches, St. Joseph, and South Haven. This special historic farm offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful country living in an outstanding Southwest Michigan location. Rich in history and spanning over 19 acres of scenic countryside, fruit trees, and open fields, the property offers charm, flexibility, and future potential. Held in the same family since the 1960s, and originally purchased from a family who had owned it for generations before that, this well-kept farmstead reflects decades of pride of ownership. The well-maintained 2,200 sq ft farmhouse offers a warm and welcoming layout with a large kitchen, formal dining room, spacious living room, separate family room and bedroom/office on the main level, creating comfortable everyday living and great space for gathering. Upstairs offers 4 bedrooms and a half bath with plumbing and a shower pan already in place for a potential full bath or future primary suite. Important updates include newer vinyl flooring, newer vinyl windows, updated electrical with new panel, newer water softener, electric water heater, dishwasher, and approximately 15-year-old furnace and roof. A large basement adds valuable storage and utility space, and MEC fiber optic high-speed internet offers the rare benefit of reliable modern connectivity in a peaceful country setting. The larger outbuildings are a standout feature and are in good functional condition, offering tremendous versatility for storage, hobbies, agricultural use, or small business needs. Highlights include a 60x50 cement block building with 3-phase electric, two 10-foot overhead doors, concrete floors, newer roof, and separate 16x50 heated and air-conditioned storage room; a 40x60 cold storage building with concrete floor, office area, and bathroom; a beautiful historic 80x30 barn with metal roof, loft, workshop space, concrete floor, and large slider doors; and a 3-car garage with concrete floor, newer windows, and opener on the center bay. Several smaller cottages (one is 1,100 sq ft with 3 bedrooms) and trailer structures are also located on the property. These secondary structures are not updated and would require improvement or restoration for active use, but may offer future possibilities for storage, workshop space, studio use, guest overflow, or other creative plans. The land is equally impressive, with over 19 acres, approximately 8 acres of cherry trees that may offer rental income potential, additional tillable ground that could be leased, and snowmobile trail access at the back of the property. A rare chance to own a historic Southwest Michigan farmstead with character, acreage, excellent outbuildings, and endless potential.
