This tranquil property features a meandering creek that winds through the woods and flows toward Barnard Pond, where a charming pond house sits at the water’s edge—your own secluded escape surrounded by mature trees and nature. This inviting 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers desirable main-floor living, warm wood finishes, and an open, comfortable layout perfect for everyday living or a vacation home. Enjoy two covered porches for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or entertaining guests, plus an attached 2+ car garage for convenient parking and additional storage. The generous, partially finished lower level adds valuable flexible living space and can be customized to fit your lifestyle. Use it as an in-home gym, game or media room, home office, craft studio, or multi-purpose space for hobbies and gatherings—there’s plenty of room to spread out. One of the property’s most exceptional features is the expansive 40 x 50 insulated and heated pole barn, complete with a 10' overhead door and separate insulated addition. It is ideal for a workshop, car or boat storage, RV or toy storage, small business operations, or year-round projects—perfect for anyone who needs extra space for equipment, tools, and recreational gear. Outside, you’ll appreciate peaceful strolls along wooded trails, and the opportunity to watch birds and wildlife by the pond from your private waterside porch. This quiet, countryside setting offers privacy and natural beauty while still being conveniently located just 10 minutes from downtown Charlevoix, Lake Michigan beaches, shopping, dining, and marinas.
