Absolutely stunning custom new construction home, complete with a pole building and workshop hidden in the rear of this diverse 4.5-acre parcel with gentle rolling hills, mature trees, easy-maintenance landscaping, and lots of natural sunlight both at the home and outbuildings. This main-floor living home is the guest house to the estate property, also for sale next door (MLS 479947), but completely private; you only see trees and nature in every direction. The actual home is only 2 years old, was custom-built by the current owners, and every detail was done with care. From the open-concept main floor living area, custom cabinetry, sun-drenched concrete patio, A/C, whole-house generator, large primary suite, including laundry and walk-in closet... too many details to list here.  Located just minutes from two Walloon Lake boat launches and only 10 minutes to Petoskey, this is ideal as a year-round, vacation, or retirement home and is really a condominium alternative. (No HOA dues, though) The lower level has an ingress/egress window already in place, generous ceiling heights, and is fully insulated, making it ready for whatever your needs may be.  More beds and a bath?  Hobby Room? Home Office? There are a multitude of ways to economically configure the space to suit your needs and double the square footage. As for the workshop, it's not visible from the home, and is a short drive down your own bucolic, well-graded gravel drive, and offers multiple buildings and open space. Currently set up as a sawmill and woodworking shop, it would make great boat/toy storage and is heated, a real home away from home, but only a few hundred yards from your main residence. This is not your old farmhouse or 1980s year-round residence that needs to be completely redone in the country. Everything has been thoughtfully taken care of; just bring your personal belongings and get ready to reconnect with nature the way Northern is supposed to be enjoyed. Call today for a private tour.
