Property description

NEW! 1103 CR 545 N. in Skandia, Michigan...Looking for that rural Northern Michigan acreage to just get away? This amazing 16.79 acres in West Branch Township in one not to miss. This equestrian property has a horse barn, 3 stalls and individual paddocks, loft/tack and feed rooms, not to mention pastures, water and electric. No horses? Store that RV and side by side in the pole barn and hit the trails just around the corner. It's only a 3-4 hour round trip ride via ATV to Au Train - depending on how fast you ride! Roughly 1300 sf finished main and lower level, this 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath ranch has a mix of milled barn wood flooring, carpet and vinyl with barn wood wall decor downstairs from the original Wiseman Farm dating back 100 years. Gorgeous hand-laid stone surround envelopes a wood burning fireplace on the main floor and extends to the lower level propane fireplace surround. This unique family space includes a bar and additional office that could become a non-conforming bedroom. Back upstairs, the vaulted ceilings in the living room with large East West picture windows allow for wonderful cross breezes while also accessing the deck off the dining room slider. Beams adorn the ceiling and add that rustic flare that screams Northern Michigan. The Primary suite boasts its own private bath and deck that looks over the back of the property and woods. The guest bedroom has its own access to a guest bath and is adorned with board and batten wall treatment adding character to a special room. The laundry and powder bath are steps from the attached two car garage. Makes sense, right? Chicken coop stays and overflow toy space in the detached garage will not disappoint. White vinyl fencing is inviting and a larger pasture with wood fencing in the rear of the barn is tucked away from travelers. Wiseman Creek runs along and borders the back of the property! Trails throughout but wear good boots. Get away from it all in the UP. 25 minutes to downtown and quaint Marquette. Welcome Home.
