Property Description

This 38.56± acre property in Arenac County, Michigan offers an outstanding combination of comfortable country living, functional outbuildings and quality recreational land, all in a location that makes it ideal for a full-time residence, hobby farm, or Michigan hunting retreat.

A 900± foot concrete driveway welcomes you onto the property and leads back to the main home, creating a private setting tucked into the landscape. The residence offers approximately 3,480 total square feet of living space including the finished basement and has been designed with both comfort and practicality in mind.

Inside the home you are greeted by a welcoming entry that opens into a spacious open-concept kitchen, dining and living area. The living room features an inviting fireplace with custom woodwork crafted from trees harvested directly from the property, adding a unique and personal touch to the space. The kitchen offers beautiful cabinetry, generous workspace and a layout that flows naturally for everyday living or entertaining guests. The home includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with the primary bedroom located on its own side of the home for added privacy. The primary suite includes dual closets and a large walk-in shower. On the opposite side of the home are two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a convenient laundry and mudroom area.

The fully finished basement significantly expands the living space with a large entertainment area, built-in bar, workshop space, and plenty of storage. Just off the back of the home is a comfortable three-season room, which leads out to a stamped concrete walkway and fire pit area, providing a relaxing place to enjoy the property. The home also includes an indoor infrared sauna and outdoor hot tub, which will remain with the property, along with select furniture and an air compressor located in the workshop building.

Outside, the property is exceptionally well set up for storage, hobbies, equipment, or potential small business use if permitted. A 26x40 insulated two-car garage includes a propane heated utility room, providing an excellent space for projects year-round. The standout structure is the 30x40 fully insulated pole building with concrete floors and a power lift door, offering versatile space for equipment, vehicles, or workspace. In addition, there is a 32x60 storage building with concrete floors and 14' walls, giving the property substantial storage and operational flexibility. All outbuildings are equipped with power.

The land itself offers 38.56± acres of mixed pine and hardwood timber, creating both scenic beauty and recreational opportunity. A maintained trail system runs throughout the property, making it easy to navigate the land for hunting, accessing food plots, or general recreational use. Several established food plots and hunting blinds are already in place, along with a large centrally located food plot/field and fenced garden area designed to protect plantings from wildlife. Cursten Creek flows through the southeast corner of the property, adding natural character and wildlife habitat. The property also adjoins state land on two sides, expanding the usable recreational footprint even further.

Location is another major advantage. The property sits just a short distance from US-75 for convenient travel, and is located approximately 450± yards from a public boat launch on the Rifle River, offering access to trout fishing, kayaking, tubing, paddling and year-round outdoor recreation.

Properties offering this combination of a well-appointed home, multiple outbuildings, recreational acreage and proximity to the Rifle River are increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're looking for a country home with land, a hunting property with comfortable living space, or a year-round recreational retreat in Northern Michigan, this property offers exceptional versatility and value.
