If it were possible to have the best of ALL worlds in a home, this would be it! Here you'll find seclusion & serenity, yet only 1.5 miles to Torch Lake. This property has been meticulously maintained by the Owners since 1979. The main floor has the primary bedroom, bathroom, laundry, storage & an open living/kitchen concept which leads to the 3 seasons porch. Upstairs has a large landing perfect for a home office and 2 additional bedrooms. The home has beautiful, recently tuck-pointed fieldstones, vinyl siding and a metal roof for a low maintenance exterior. The land quite literally has everything you could want ''Up North''; open fields, rolling hills, a marsh accented with ferns, wonderful woods to explore, a high point with views for days and well-maintained paths for exploring it all! Keep your boat, pontoon, jet skis (all of the above??) in the huge pole barn and head to the boat launch a mere 3 minutes away, or make it your amazing workshop, gathering space, or whatever else your imagination can conjure. The area is absolutely gorgeous and centrally located with not only Torch Lake, but hiking at nearby Coy Mountain Natural Area, near Traverse City, Wine Country, Charlevoix etc. The property will have some splits remaining which could add flexibility/income for the future. This place has too many features to list and has to be seen in person to truly appreciate. So make sure to look at the extensive features list document and more importantly, schedule your appointment to see it today and get ready to fall in LOVE!
