It all started with maple syrup production and developed into a very special home. Lots of labor of love here. The old Maple house was kept and now is the living room area of the house, heated with a robust wood burning fireplace. The newer addition as you enter the kitchen has laundry to the side and combined with dining room. The back deck is accessed by sliders off from the dining room. Walking down the hallway to the left is an ensuite with garden tub and full bathroom. To the right you enter a large area perfect for gathering. Complete with wet bar kitchen area, bath room and the cozy warm living room. There is a second loft bedroom with timber stairway. Perfect for multiple beds to accommodate everyone. The basement is very dry and could be converted to more space. Newer energy efficient furnace. The grounds by the house have multiple sheds and a 23x23 heated pole garage. As you journey to the back of the property you will find the multiple fingers of Betsie River which run through the property. Perfect for the one of a kind spot to keep the same or expand into your dream property.
