Spacious home on acreage with pole barn, workshop/walkout basement, and prime Northern Michigan location. Situated on approximately 3.5 acres just north of Vanderbilt, this property offers a rare combination of land, storage, and accessibility. Located close to I-75 and Thumb Lake Rd, commuting into Gaylord, Boyne City, Petoskey, or Indian River is quick and convenient, while still enjoying a wooded natural setting. Inside, the layout is functional with generously sized rooms, including a primary bedroom with en suite bathroom, and offers the convenience of main-floor living with plenty of natural light. An unfinished walkout basement adds 1500 sq/ft of space, and provides excellent potential for future living space, a workshop, or additional storage. The home does need updates and improvements and is priced accordingly, making it an ideal opportunity for buyers looking to add value. One of the standout features is the large 30x60 pole barn, perfect for equipment, toys, a workshop, or recreational use. Whether you’re into snowmobiles, ATVs, or need space for tools and projects, this property delivers. Snowmobile trails are nearby, making this a great Up North base camp. A strong option for investors, renovators, first-time buyers, or anyone seeking land and outbuildings at an affordable price point. Hard-to-find features, excellent access to Gaylord, and room to improve make this a compelling opportunity. Sold as-is. Buyers encouraged to bring vision and creativity.
