Discover 13 acres of natural beauty and country charm on this private hobby farm, perfectly situated just 12 miles from downtown East Tawas and only 8 miles from the sparkling shores of Lake Huron. The land is a dream for growers and homesteaders alike, featuring mature apple, pear, plum, mulberry, and walnut trees, along with raspberries, strawberries, asparagus, vegetables, and an abundance of colorful perennials. A 50’x50’ garden plot invites you to expand your harvest or try something new. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has newer windows (2022), new flooring and an 8-year-old roof, blending comfort with practicality. The property is set up for self-sufficient living with a 3,000-gallon water tank supply, an outdoor boiler as the primary heat source, and propane backup for added convenience and peace of mind. For storage and projects, enjoy a 2-car garage and two sheds (10x20 and 12x12). Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the deer blind, meandering groomed trails, the property’s easy access to the East Branch of the Au Gres River (just 1/4 mile away for trout fishing), and the surrounding 40 acres of state-owned wetlands that provide peace, privacy, and wildlife viewing. With 429 feet of frontage on Turtle Road, this property is tucked away yet connected to everything you need. Whether you envision a small horse farm, a thriving homestead, or a weekend escape close to the lake, this property offers endless possibilities and the rare opportunity to live in rhythm with nature while remaining minutes from town.
