Maple Ridge Farm. It's where Gerry & Vivian White "came home to". After successful careers, they decided to come back to Leelanau County, where Gerry was born, to begin the next phase, of a decades long retirement. In 1997 they finished building their dream home on this beautiful, 120 acre, farmstead property. They lived in the estimated circa 1930's, or 40's farm house, while the new house was being built, & now, with their passing, the White family is ready to find their parents' successors. The main house pays homage to the land, with pastoral views of the rolling meadows, hardwood forests, and, the towering pines, & orchards they helped establish. You'll enjoy the spacious living/entertaining areas, beginning with a truly serious home cooks kitchen; Viking double oven, cooktop, & ventilation system, large butcher block top on the center island, two sinks, lots of countertop work space, & storage in the beautiful cherry cabinetry, w/ convenient pantry, just steps away, large combined living/dining area that overlooks a covered deck/grilling area, large master suite w/ 2 large walk in closets, additional bedroom, den/study, & full bath, oversized and heated 3 car garage w/ separate service stairwell to the abundant lower, terrace level, where over half is finished, with additional bedroom, third full bath, huge family room, with a cozy Quadrafire wood stove, 2 "work shop/studio" areas, & wine cellar. Natural gas furnace with A/C, Generac back up generator, 50 gallon gas hot water heater, central vac system. Eight more buildings include the older, 3 bedroom, 2 bath farmhouse, (that will need some attention, could be a great place for family, friends, or an agricultural rental experience?), 75x42 Morton building, rustic tractor barn/granary w/ 2nd level in a portion, charming studio/craft building, chicken coop, 2 additional garages, & a "rustic" farm building. Some open meadows, lots of hardwood forest that's currently enrolled in a forest management plan.
