Welcome to your own private Northern Michigan retreat! Nestled on 20 beautiful wooded acres overlooking scenic Manton Creek, this custom-built, single-owner home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, & outdoor adventure. Perched on a gentle bluff, the home captures breathtaking creek views from the expansive composite deck and inviting three-season room. A winding path leads down to Manton Creek where 2 recently rebuilt bridges (2025) provide access across the water. For years, the owners and their family have enjoyed fishing, exploring, birdwatching, cooling off in the creek on warm summer days, & simply enjoying the peaceful flow of the water. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed floor plan featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and generous living spaces throughout. The spacious main-level primary suite offers a large walk-in closet and direct access to the three-season room overlooking the creek. Hardwood floors enhance the bright and welcoming living room, while a sliding door leads to the oversized deck where the views continue. The fully finished walkout lower level provides two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, a non-conforming room ideal for an office, hobby room, or storage, plus a wet bar and cozy gas fireplace-perfect for entertaining family and friends. A sliding door leads directly from the basement to the creekside pathway. Convenience abounds with an attached 3-car garage that enters into an oversized mudroom and laundry area complete with an additional full bath. The property has been exceptionally maintained and is truly move-in ready. Recent improvements include a new roof (2018), furnace (2018), irrigation system (2022), water heater (2025), and regular maintenance of the whole-house Generac generator, most recently serviced in May 2026. Additional features include central air conditioning, mature landscaping, a garden area, and a garden shed. ORV trail head/railroad bridge is just a minutes drive away!
