Head to the back 40—because you finally can. Set on a square 40 pristine, wooded acres with maintained paths winding through the property with multiple raised hunting blinds, this unique raised ranch offers the rare combination of acreage, privacy, functional outbuildings and thoughtful updates- just minutes from M-46, M-24 and M-15 for an easy commute. The 20x24' outbuilding is a blank canvas with serious potential, featuring a cement floor, storage underneath, electricity and its own second driveway. Create a workshop, studio, additional hangout space, hobby building or future finished space. Nearly 1,600 square feet of living space was completely remodeled in 2013, creating a home that feels perfectly suited to its wooded surroundings. The open dining and living rooms center around a wood-burning fireplace and flow into the one-of-a-kind kitchen with vaulted ceilings, rich wood cabinetry, walk-in pantry, butcher block island, and access to the back deck, where mature woods make you feel completely removed from it all. A knotty pine accent ceiling leads toward three bedrooms, including a primary retreat with its own four-season porch and access to updated full bath with tiled shower and deep, jetted tub. The finished lower level adds flexibility with garage access, a second full bathroom with walk-in shower, family room with electric fireplace and abundant storage. Major updates include electrical panel (2013), furnace and AC by SIR (2020), water heater (2026), water softener, vinyl/Pella windows and generator outlet. High-speed internet is available through Thumb Electric. Outside, the acreage offers room to roam and abundant hunting opportunities with maintained paths, wildlife pond, fruit trees, hardwoods, garden area and an RV carport. Whether you're exploring the woods, working on a project, watching wildlife from the deck or simply enjoying the privacy, this is country living with space that's increasingly difficult to find.
