About this home

Delightful cedar shingle farmhouse with 10 acres of woods and garden area with lovely countryside views. The front porch is inviting to sit with morning coffee as well as a deck on the west side of the house for great sunsets. A little shed and garden area just outside the fence to the north of the house. Room for a horse or two. Recent updates include some new windows, flooring, lighting, great ceiling fans and appliances. And just three tenths of a mile down the hill to the west is a public access to the beautiful and fast moving Betsie River, and launch for canoes, boats and kayaks. A quick swim, too!
