Welcome to Crystal Creek Ranch! This unique property is the ultimate delight for the nature lover or hobby farmer, with a mix of private ponds, woods, and rolling pastures, well-equipped outbuildings, and a truly stunning home in the midst of it all. The home itself features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and over 3,000 sq. ft. of living space. Highlights include a gas stove with a stone surround in the great room, a granite-topped island in the kitchen, a private bath off the master bedroom, central air, ample windows for gorgeous countryside views, and much more. The covered front porch is the ideal spot to sip morning coffee or evening tea while enjoying the peacefulness of nature that surrounds you. Outbuildings include a 32x40 metal horse barn with a hay loft, stalls and interior water (along with a nearby round training pen and electric-fenced pastures), and 40x57 pole barn subdivided into four sections for parking, storage, etc. , which includes a 32x24 insulated, heated workshop with interior water. Wildlife abounds on the property - deer, grouse, pheasant, geese, sandhill crains, eagle, osprey, hawks, falcons, mink, muskrat, bobcat, fox, coyote, etc. One of the many ponds is fed by a coldwater spring and is abundant with rainbow trout; a maintained camping/gathering area is found at this pond. The Ranch was developed by a professional resource manager to maximize habitat and movement corridors for wildlife and waterfowl. Sections on native Michigan grassland and wildflowers have been planted, along with numerous evergreens and fruiting trees (including apple, pear, and plum). Various food plot sections are laid out and have been planted throughout the years. There are trails on the property for riding, walking, and cross-country skiing; the Manistee River is roughly 3 miles north and a significant amount of public land is nearby. Additional acreage is available - up to a total of 63 acres!
