12559 H Drive S

OPEN HOUSE Sun 5/3 2pm-4pm. Set back off the road, 25 wooded acres in the Marshall School District, 12559 H Drive South is the kind of property that stops the search. This custom-built quality home offers 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 3,224sqft finished. Nottawa Creek runs through the heart of the land with pasture and timber to the south, timber-rich ground heavy with maple, walnut, and oak stretching north. Built in 2000, this is not a home that was constructed to sell -- it was built to stay in. The difference is visible in every single room. Start with the wainscoting - nineteen species of native Michigan hardwood, worked by hand into a pattern that runs through the main living areas. There is nothing like it in any other home in this market. Cherry hardwood floors carry through the entire main level, up the stairway, and through the trim work. The kitchen features hand-hewn decorative beams, custom spalted maple and curly hard maple cabinetry with slow-close drawers, new stainless steel appliances including gas range. The columns flanking the entry way dining room are solid Osage orange. All interior doors throughout are solid pine, stained cherry. Not a single piece of particle board was used anywhere in the construction of this home! The living room anchors the main level with a Rumford-style fieldstone wood-burning fireplace. Nine to ten foot ceilings throughout the main level. The primary suite is on the main floor with walls and ceiling insulated for sound and has an attached office or perfect extra walk-in closet. The primary bath offers a soaking tub, separate shower, and built-in cabinets throughout. The main level also has a half bath and laundry room. Four additional bedrooms on the upper level each feature large closets with custom cherry built-in shelves & storage cubbies. The upper level also boasts a large recreation space, large additional walk-in closet and huge attic for additional storage. The lower level is unfinished and offers plenty of storage and recreation space. The attached three-car heated garage runs 24 feet deep with a larger door opening sized for trucks. From the main level, step outside to enjoy a 2,000 square foot covered cedar wrap-around porch - 10 feet wide and running the full perimeter of the home! In the warmer months this becomes the heart of the property -- a true outdoor room overlooking 25 acres of private land, with the creek in the distance and nothing but your own ground in every direction. Outbuildings include a 16x24 heated granary with loft, a grain bin, an 8x20 concrete-floor storage barn, a corn crib, and a larger barn. Your furry friends will love the large fenced in area with shelter. Home also offers a security system and two-zone heating and cooling. The timber on the land has been managed since 1996 to produce the highest quality and value.
