Tucked away on 5 breathtaking wooded acres just minutes from Brighton and Howell, this extraordinary custom log home offers the rare combination of rustic character, refined comfort, and complete privacy. From the moment you arrive, the property feels like a retreat. This beautifully maintained home is surrounded by mature trees, pristine landscaping, private walking trails, and peaceful natural views in every direction. Inside, warm wood interiors, exposed beams, and a stunning wood-burning stove create an atmosphere that is both timeless and inviting -- a home designed to be lived in and loved. The thoughtfully remodeled kitchen blends modern convenience with classic lodge-style charm, while the updated bathrooms and impeccably maintained interiors reflect true pride of ownership throughout. Expansive windows bring the outdoors in, filling the home with natural light and serene wooded views from nearly every room. Step outside and enjoy your own private outdoor oasis featuring expansive entertaining areas, a pool with surrounding deck space, firepit gathering area, and peaceful wooded trails that wind throughout the property. Whether you're relaxing on the covered porch, hosting summer get-togethers, or enjoying quiet evenings under the trees, this property offers a lifestyle that feels miles away from the everyday. Major updates including a newer roof and furnace provide peace of mind, allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy. The impressive 30x20 pole barn offers endless flexibility for hobbies, storage, recreational vehicles, workshop space, or outdoor equipment. This is more than a log home -- it's a private sanctuary with soul, craftsmanship, and a setting that's increasingly hard to find.
