Unique home and set of buildings on 3+ acres, perfect for a small business, car enthusiast, mechanic, woodworker, landscaper, animal lover, or multi-generational living. Includes a large farmhouse with a main residence & two apartments above, a 2400 sq ft newer pole barn with 2 tall bay doors, a big air compressor, & an attached, mostly enclosed, 1600 sq ft lean-to. In addition, there's a 940 sq ft steel shed that was used for restoring historic vehicles. It has a bay door, a large air compressor with drier, & a very large reserve tank that's located in a lean-to off the back of this shed. The large, classic red barn has a steel front addition that was used for handling customer berry sales. Note: The barn has an upstairs apartment space that is no longer connected to water or septic. Finally, there's a cold storage building with an attached lean-to, & a modest 168 sq ft greenhouse. Buildings have plentiful storage for large vehicles such as motor homes, boats, trailers, or trucks.... The expansive Italianate farmhouse was built by the Platt family in 1842 and home to the Makielski Berry Farm since 1952. In the original part of the home, the main residence includes 10-foot ceilings in the spacious living and dining rooms, abundant natural light from many large windows, recently refinished pine & oak floors, a newer cherry kitchen, two bedrooms, a first floor laundry, and two older baths. The house has a 1968 addition, which includes a large family room, 3rd bedroom, and upstairs office. Two second floor apartments, both ready to rent (but could also use updates) have a separate covered entrance and share a laundry room that's in an enclosed porch. Extensive mechanical updates to the house in 2025 include a new septic system, roof and gutters, updated electrical & plumbing, water heater, sump pump, main kitchen floor, and fresh paint throughout. The one and two bedroom apartments together generated $2,200/month in rent in 2024. The main floor could easily rent for $2,000/month or more, but would require bathroom updates and some carpeting/flooring before being offered. Price reflects updates and finishing touches likely desired in the farmhouse, and some maintenance neglected in the outbuildings. Conveniently located close to Ann Arbor, Saline, and Ypsilanti, with easy access to US-23, I-94, and Michigan Avenue/US-12. Parks nearby, with a bike/walking path in front of the house connecting to Ann Arbor and Saline. Saline Schools and Pittsfield Township taxes.

Agricultural District
The Agricultural District is intended to protect existing and promote new agricultural areas of the Township by encouraging agricultural activity and allowing for additional uses that will be consistent with the agricultural character, as well as providing for large lot residential uses that will support residential or niche farming operations. Residential dwellings should be accessory to the principal use of farming on the property or should be located on large lots that contain substantial areas of natural features. Residential subdivisions and other forms of development are considered incompatible with agricultural land uses. The district, in preserving and promoting areas for agricultural uses, is also designed to prevent the proliferation of residential subdivisions and urban sprawl.
