Lovely home with a 2-car garage tucked away on 10 heavily wooded acres located near the Manistee National Forest and just down the road from access to hundreds of acres of State Land. This home has been well loved and meticulously maintained throughout the years. Built in 2001, this 2x6 construction shows the longevity and worry-free maintenance. With an open living, kitchen and dining area and cathedral style ceilings it gives you that warm welcome feeling as you walk through the door. There is a main floor master with a private master bath, a ½ bath off the living area and the 2nd bedroom is on the upper level with a 3/4 bath. The upper level has a spacious loft area that could be used as an additional sleeping area or a "non-conforming bedroom". The home has been a wonderful Up North Retreat for the current Sellers and would continue to do so for a new buyer or would make a wonderful year around residence. The Manistee River backwaters is a short distance to the south and the North Country Trail head is just a few miles away. There are tons of wildlife on the property and great Morel Mushroom picking. This is your chance to own a wonderful home in beautiful Northern MI.
