Your horses will thank you! Imagine relaxing on the porch while watching your horses graze on the gently sloping pastures of this idyllic, custom craftsman estate. The 3 bedroom architectural main house features a brilliant open floor plan on the lower level complete with a spacious, welcoming entry, "farmhouse" style mudroom with designer brick floors, island kitchen, dining room with fabulous, custom built-in cabinets, cozy guest room, and spacious living room. The second floor is keenly planned with a private master wing boasting a luminous personal office looking out over the horses, spacious walk-in closet, en-suite bath, and a bedroom that seems to be perched in the trees. The large second bedroom is so much more than just a bedroom. Large enough for 2 queen beds on the main level and features a cool upper loft perfect for sleep-overs, a reading nook, or just more room for toys! Across the drive is the imaginative, custom 2-story guest house that is an Air BnB dream! Large enough to sleep 8 people it features stunning vaulted ceilings, kitchen, a large, airy living room, master sleeping area, and a built in bunk room! The custom horse barn has 3 stalls, a large aisle, hayloft, solar roof and storage for 300 bales of hay. Your equine friends will enjoy multiple pastures with a large run-in shed and an outdoor riding arena with fabulous footing. The entire estate has been carefully planned and offers so much more: a finished lower level in the main house, a hot-tub under the trees surrounded by custom decking, a large screened-in porch off the kitchen, a designer Wittus Twinfire wood-burning stove, Generac generator, and a zip line through the hard-woods! Conveniently located near M72 for easy access to Traverse City. All measurements are believed to be accurate but should be verified by buyer or buyer's agent. More photos and virtual tour coming soon.
