Some properties check boxes. This one builds memories. Tucked into 6+ wooded acres bordering State Land in Wexford County, and within Fife Lake - this one-of-a-kind Northern Michigan compound was built for people who live for the outdoors and know how to come home in comfort. Immediate access to ORV, ATV, and snowmobile trails, a private motocross/side-by-side track winding through the property, and some of the best hunting land in the region make this a four-season recreational dream. The main home is warm, well-maintained, and move-in ready. Inside, an open-concept layout connects the living room, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, to a generous kitchen with dual skylights, abundant cabinetry, a peninsula, and a dining area with slider access to the covered porch. That porch deserves a mention of its own: deep, covered, and oriented toward the wooded property, it's the kind of space you'll use from May through October. The spacious primary suite offers real room to unwind, with a private en suite bath and views of the trees. Just steps away, the custom barndominium lodge is something else entirely. A full knotty pine kitchen, custom tongue-and-groove plank ceiling, wall-to-wall cabinetry and stone tile backsplash feeds into a sprawling great room with a handcrafted log-post bar, wood stove set in a river rock surround, dining for a crowd, flex sleeping space, and nearly 800 sq ft of covered patio/carport. This isn't a garage conversion, it's a purpose-built gathering place with serious character. Whether you're envisioning a family compound, a four-season sportsman's retreat, or a Northern Michigan getaway with room to breathe and space to play, this property delivers on every count. State Land access. Private trails. Two structures that couldn't be more different and couldn't work together better. See link to virtual tour!
