Upon entering the long, winding private drive to your very own 39+ acres nestled within the southeastern "suburbs" of Manistee National Forest, you are all-but certain to feel enveloped in peace and serenity. The sky peers through mature hardwoods, quietly welcoming you home. As the driveway rounds, you are greeted by your custom-built haven "away from it all." The perfect combination of modern convenience alongside rustic log charm, this home was designed to embrace the best of both worlds! After you park in your 2 1/2 stall garage (complete with bar/work area & hot/cold water hookups), you walk into an inviting entryway with built-in cabinets, desk & closet. To your right, you will find a large walk-through laundry room with oversized cabinets, laundry tub & folding station. One door down, also on your right, you will find a full bath with tub/shower combo. But that's only the beginning! As you cross the threshold, at the end of the hallway, you arrive in the central hub of your home. The massive kitchen is chock full of stunning solid hickory cabinets & abundant counter space. Wood trimmed windows & recessed lighting (throughout) allow for a magnificent ambiance, especially when paired with the durable laminate floors & exquisite tile backsplash. Black/stainless steel appliances and large double sinks with brushed nickel fixtures lend an air of sophistication to this open yet inviting space. As you exit to the dining area you really begin to appreciate the “feel” of the home. A field stone breakfast bar to your left, a lavish four season porch with French doors to your right. The eyes are instantly drawn to the spectacular wood ceilings, field stone wood-burning fireplace & rustic hardwood mantle in the great room. Upon further exploration, you will find a large front entryway, another bedroom (with private half bath) & a large deck behind sturdy sliding glass doors. If you can peel your eyes away from the main living space, you'll notice a sprawling hallway behind you. It leads to your large master bedroom and bathroom oasis. The master bedroom is rendered complete by a large walk-in closet & sliding glass doors that lead directly to your fire pit and personal pond in the backyard. (Also, nearby is the exterior wood burner - great for keeping energy expenses down and the house toasty all winter long!) The master bath is a dream unto itself. Two skylights make you feel as though you're soaking in a hot spring rather than the huge Jacuzzi tub. The immaculate heated tile floors, coupled with large tiled walk-in shower are sure to relax you mind, body & spirit. And if the main floor's sprawling 2,475 sq. ft. isn't enough, a third bedroom awaits you downstairs. Make these spaces your own by completing the roughed-in areas (bar, bath, storage, office, etc.) at your leisure. Outside you will find miles of hiking/nature trails, deluxe deer blinds & tree stands, flower beds, a garden area & a 32' x 48' pole barn. (Once set up for horses, you could easily bring your pasture pets with minimal prep work necessary!) As you can see, this home is truly one-of-a-kind! Less than an hour from Grand Rapids & a short 20-minute drive to Big Rapids, this location is ideal for nature-lovers, hunters and commuters alike.
