10117 Hawthorne Lane

Along a private stretch of the Shiawassee River, where only six homes share deeded water access and a private road, sits a hand-built log home on private, wooded acreage. The primary suite, kitchen, living and dining areas, and laundry all live on the main floor. The great room rises to a vaulted, log-beamed ceiling around a stone fireplace fed by a dumbwaiter that loads firewood from outside: no open door, no lost heat. Below, a finished walkout level adds a second kitchen, a second fireplace, and an in-law suite with its own bath. A covered porch spans the front; a screened porch with a swing spans the back. Two outbuildings round it out: one for RV and toy storage, the other a custom heated wood shop. Even the trees here are labeled by species, by an owner who knew and loved this land.
