Your Northern Michigan Compound Awaits. 40 private acres, multiple buildings and four seasons of adventure come together at this exceptional Northern Michigan retreat. Whether your vision is a family compound, year-round homestead or recreational getaway, this property offers the space and setting to make it your own. At the heart of the property is an inviting 3 bed 1 bath home, with thoughtful updates, nearly complete, that retain the warmth of a true Up North retreat. New roof, range, water softener and gutters. Knotty pine, a wood-burning fireplace, updated kitchen and sitting room create a comfortable place to gather after a day outdoors. Beyond the main home a detached 2+ car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, snowmobiles, side-by-sides and outdoor gear, plus an additional recreation building. The guest house is waiting for someone handy to finish the two bedrooms, full bath and open living /kitchen area their way. This offers tremendous flexibility for family, guests, hobbies and entertaining. Outside is where this property truly comes alive. 40 wooded acres are threaded with trails beneath oaks, maples and white pines - your own private playground for hiking, snowmobiling, ATVs, hunting and year-round exploring. The property also adjoins state land, extending the sense of space and adventure well beyond your own acreage. Spend winter days on the trails, summer days boating and fishing on nearby Higgins Lake, and evenings gathered around the fire under a Northern Michigan sky. Private enough to feel worlds away, yet conveniently located near Higgins Lake, Houghton Lake, Forest Dunes and I-75. STR’s allowed until 2030. More than a home in the woods, this is a place to gather, explore, put down roots and create your own Northern Michigan legacy.
