Estate sale being sold AS-IS. First time ever offered for sale, this owner/builder home has been lovingly maintained since it was built in 1976 and is ready for its next chapter. Set on nearly 10 wooded acres directly adjoining Manistee National Forest land and located across the street from Lake Mitchell, this is a rare opportunity to own a property where privacy, recreation, and convenience come together. Explore your own wooded acreage, enjoy the small creek and footbridge, watch abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, and numerous bird species, or hunt right out your back door with a tree stand already in place. With direct access to hundreds of acres of National Forest land, outdoor enthusiasts will feel right at home. The bi-level home offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, approximately 1,700 finished square feet, and includes all appliances. The main level features approximately 950 square feet of living space, while the finished lower level provides additional room to spread out with a spacious family room featuring a wood stove/fireplace. A newer forced-air natural gas furnace provides efficient heating. Move-in ready yet ready for cosmetic updates, this home is a true 1976 time capsule full of potential and character. Outside you'll find a 22x20 detached garage with a 20x28 pole barn addition complete with a wood stove and workshop space, a 12x16 storage shed, and plenty of additional parking for vehicles, trailers, and recreational equipment. Occupancy is available at closing. Properties offering nearly 10 acres, National Forest frontage, Lake Mitchell proximity, and multiple outbuildings at this price point rarely become available. Bring your vision and make this unique property your next home, getaway, or recreational retreat.
