40 Acres of Up North Retreat Lovingly maintained and deeply cherished for years, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is a peaceful retreat where memories are made and nature meets comfort. With 1,764 square feet of finished living space, it offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience — centrally located between Lake City, Grayling, and Houghton Lake. Remodeled in 2010 expanding the floor plan with larger rooms and storage space, this home was thoughtfully updated to enhance both comfort and functionality. You'll love the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, main floor laundry — ideal for gathering with family and friends. The unfinished basement houses all mechanicals, and a durable metal roof, added in 2010, offers long-term peace of mind. The attached 2-stall garage has a spacious bonus room above to be finished — perfect for a bunkhouse, man cave, or guest suite. Outdoors is the paved circle drive, 32' x 32' pole barn with concrete floors, electric, and heat-ready setup is ready for your tools, toys, or workshop and separate garden shed offers even more storage. The 40-acre property has been a beloved family hunting retreat for years, with hardwoods, tillable land currently farmed locally, and wildlife that abound throughout the seasons. Close to Jack Pine Motorcycle Camp, families gather and make memories for years. And for everything you need — whether it’s groceries, hunting or hardware supplies, gas (including rec gas!), pizza or a burger — the 100-year-old Whipple’s General Store offers small-town charm with convenience. You’re also only a quarter-mile from direct trail access to the Missaukee, Kalkaska, ORV-Trail systems, making this property a perfect launch pad for ORV and snowmobile adventures. Pack your gear, bring your crew, and start enjoying the ride with friends and family. Whether you’re seeking a hunting basecamp, a family getaway, or your very own up north escape, this property offers heart, history, and wide-open potential.
