This 5.9-acre property is designed for the equestrian lifestyle - it comes complete with fenced pastures/paddocks, a nearly-new 12,800 sq. ft. (80x160) indoor riding arena, and it's less than 3 miles from Flintfields, home of Traverse City Horse Shows! Additional infrastructure for horses includes a heated stable with 7 stalls and an overhead door, 3 stalls (partially framed) in the indoor arena with plenty of room to easily add many more, and a small outdoor arena. The home has undergone a total renovation - new kitchen, baths, flooring, appliances, deck, etc. Highlights include pristine white cabinetry and granite counters, a fireplace in the spacious living room, and a primary suite with a private bath. In addition to the home on the property, there is also a gem of a building site on the eastern 2-3 acres - slightly elevated for views and adjacent to a neighboring sunflower field. This is a great property for a equestrian to call home-away-from-home while competing in show, or a wonderful opportunity to put down some roots with the necessary infrastructure already in place.
