Check out this rare and awesome 4 bed, 2 bath on 40 acres just 12 miles from Houghton. The home is nestled in the pines and complete with a circle drive, a large field, acres of hardwoods, a pond, high speed internet (Baraga Telephone) and a two car detached garage. This location is amazing. Just driving here from Houghton, one feels like they enter another world, while still being close to town for all of your needs. Rolling farm fields, vast forests, horses, livestock, and wildlife are prominent on the local landscape. Locally there are several organic farmers that one can typically purchase goods from. Tapiola is just down the road, which includes the Feed Mill Cafe, as well as Karvakko's Market. To fit the small community vibe, the saying that is contributed to Karvakko's market is, "If they don't have it, you don't need it". One can tell that the home has been well maintained and it is ready to be enjoyed. The main floor has a large living area, a nice kitchen and dining room, and two bedrooms (one could be an office or nursery). The main floor is rounded off by a full bathroom. Upstairs are two more large bedrooms, a half bath, and a great study/play area. There are loads of storage throughout the home. The large two car garage has a side snowblower/smaller entrance as well. The field, pond, and many acres of woods create an ideal mix for recreation and wildlife habitat. This is a truly rare opportunity for a large acreage parcel home in this location.
