Nestled among mature trees and surrounded by abundant wildlife, this exceptional 2.29-acre property offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and opportunity. The peaceful setting feels like a secluded retreat, yet it is less than 10 minutes from downtown Rochester and Lake Orion, whose parks, dining, and everyday conveniences are at your fingertips. The property features a 2,032-square-foot ranch style home with 3 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and a walkout basement, providing endless possibilities to renovate, expand, or reimagine to fit your vision. For those looking to build, the expansive acreage presents an outstanding opportunity to create a custom estate in one of Oakland Townships' most desirable locations. Adding to its appeal, the property may be eligible for a split into two approximately 1-acre lots, subject to Oakland Township approval. If you are seeking a private sanctuary for a dream home building site this is an opportunity to purchase land that is increasingly difficult to find in Oakland Township.

Oakland, located between Rochester Road and Adams Road, is a residential and park-adjacent Rochester Hills neighborhood with winding subdivision streets and a strong trail-and-greenway feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Rochester Road corridor near Downtown Rochester, where sidewalk dining, indie storefronts, and evening foot traffic set the tone. Architectural cues lean toward late-20th-century colonials and ranches, with mature trees and generous setbacks shaping the streetscape. Paint Creek Trail adds a linear outdoor spine for walks and bike rides. Meadow Brook Hall and the Meadow Brook Amphitheatre bring a cultural counterpoint to the quiet blocks. Seasonal events and farmers-market energy in Downtown Rochester round out the day-to-day rhythm.
