Property Description
A rare opportunity to own one of Chatham's premier country estates, where meticulous craftsmanship, unmatched privacy, and endless outdoor recreation come together on 30 breathtaking acres. Surrounded by mature hardwoods and directly adjoining 600+ acres of Lyme Timberlands, this exceptional property offers unparalleled access to miles of maintained two-track trails for hunting, trail riding, hiking, and year-round adventure—all accessible right from your own backyard. Established trails wind throughout the property itself, while multiple additional building sites provide endless possibilities for future expansion. Built in 2001 and maintained with an uncompromising level of care, this home reflects true pride of ownership. Every improvement has been thoughtfully completed, creating a move-in-ready retreat where quality is evident at every turn. The inviting interior features a spacious, functional layout centered around a stunning floor-to-ceiling natural stone wood-burning fireplace. The expansive kitchen and dining area seamlessly connect to the main living space, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A private primary suite offers a walk-in closet and ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms provide generous accommodations for family and guests.Perhaps the home's most cherished space is the beautiful sunroom overlooking the professionally landscaped backyard, where vibrant perennial gardens, mature trees, raspberry bushes, a charming garden shed, and an impressive glacial boulder create a peaceful landscape that feels like your own private park. It's the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply take in the beauty of every season. Recent improvements include brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a new high-efficiency furnace, newer water heater , central air conditioning, a whole-home Generac standby generator, and a fully encapsulated crawl space with a commercial-grade dehumidification system—providing exceptional comfort and peace of mind for years to come. Equally impressive is the property's infrastructure. The heated attached garage is complemented by a Cleary pole building near the home featuring 100-amp electrical service eith 220 Volt hook ups and a floor drain. A second large pole building near M-67 offers its own dedicated 200-amp electrical service, multiple RV hookups, separate septic connections, an additional private well, and a dedicated campsite capable of accommodating multiple RVs—creating incredible flexibility for guests, recreational use, or future possibilities. With separate electrical services, abundant storage, premium utility infrastructure, paved access, and direct adjacency to hundreds of acres of commercial timberland open for recreation, this is far more than a home—it's a legacy property designed for those who appreciate Northern Michigan living at its finest.Properties of this caliber rarely become available. Dont miss your chance to own this one!
