Welcome to your own secluded paradise in Forester Township! Nestled on 3 serene acres and surrounded by mature trees, this unique and tranquil property offers the perfect setting for a year-round residence or a home away from home - just minutes from Lake Huron and Delaware Park. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed for comfort, beauty, and function. Experience the calm and beauty of a landscape filled with wildlife and lush, natural views. The highlight of the property is a large, private pond with a remote controlled fountain and colorful lighting you can operate from inside the home. A newly added (2023) outdoor patio provides the perfect space for entertaining or simply relaxing while enjoying the tranquil views. There's also a cozy screened-in sitting area - an ideal spot to unwind and take in the sights and sounds of nature, especially during a peaceful rainfall. The pond surrounds a non-operational helipad. Storage and utility abound with a 2-car detached garage with a carport, two sheds (including one that is 288 sq ft), and a massive 30x60 pole barn with electricity, ready for storing boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, ATVs and more. Inside, the 2,704 sq ft home is just as impressive. This 2-story layout includes 3 spacious bedrooms - two guest bedrooms on the first floor and a private primary suite upstairs with double-door entry, full bath, and walk-in closet. In fact, all bedrooms have walk-in closets - a rare and welcome feature. Upstairs, a stunning 33x20 family room with hardwood floors and custom woodwork leads into a year-round sunroom offering breathtaking views of the pond and property. Downstairs, in addition to the two guest bedrooms, enjoy a large eat-in kitchen, first-floor laundry, full bathroom, pantry/storage area and an expansive living room - added in 2023 - featuring walls of windows overlooking the pond and woods, hardwood floors, custom woodwork, and a door wall that opens to the patio. It's a perfect blend of rustic charm and comfort. Recent updates include a new roof and shutter
