Endless Possibilities with this rare 158-acre Northern Michigan retreat where wide-open spaces, peaceful meadows and wooded backdrops meet unforgettable night skies. At the heart of the property is a one-of-a-kind Amish-built home filled with craftsmanship and character, complemented by a 36'x50' timber-frame barn and 18'x32' detached garage. Enjoy quiet mornings on the covered porch, evenings on the patio under the stars, and abundant wildlife—including sandhill cranes that return to the meadows each season. With ample acreage to farm, explore or customize to your vision, the possibilities are exceptional. Just minutes from Lake Michigan, Esch Road Beach, the Platte River and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, with Empire, Glen Arbor and Frankfort nearby, this is more than a farm—it’s an opportunity to create an extraordinary Up North lifestyle.
