Description
Discover a rare opportunity at 1734 N Gailbraith Rd in Mio, Michigan—where craftsmanship, space, and Northern Michigan beauty come together on 10 stunning acres.
This spacious 5-bedroom, 2-bath home showcases exceptional Amish custom woodworking throughout, featuring high-end finishes and timeless attention to detail. Built with quality in mind, the home offers a full basement and is completely plumbed with a well and septic system in place. While the home currently has no electricity, access from the basement makes adding service a straightforward upgrade for the next owner if desired.
The property is set on a blacktop road with a long, private driveway accented by beautiful boulders, leading you into a peaceful, wooded setting rich with wildlife. Trails wind throughout the acreage, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, or anyone seeking privacy and natural beauty. Deer, turkey, and even bear are frequent visitors, offering exceptional hunting opportunities right out your back door.
For horse lovers and equestrian families, this property is truly special. The well-maintained horse barn features multiple stalls, water access, and ample space for tack, feed, and equipment. Two separate, fenced pasture areas provide safe and convenient turnout options, allowing for rotational grazing or separation as needed. The existing trails throughout the property offer the perfect setup for riding right from your own land, making daily exercise and enjoyment effortless. With room to expand or customize, this property is ideally suited for a private equestrian retreat, small boarding operation, or hobby farm.
Outdoor living shines here with a large custom-built pavilion and fire pit patio area—perfect for entertaining, gatherings, or simply enjoying quiet evenings under the stars. The landscaping throughout the property adds to the charm and welcoming feel.
For those needing space to work, store, or create, the property includes five large outbuildings:
- A horse barn with multiple stalls, water access, and two fenced pasture areas
- A massive 4,000+ sq. ft. finished building previously used as a store
- A large wood shop, complete with an attached spray area for finishing work
- Additional barns and storage buildings offering endless flexibility
Whether you’re looking to run a business, start a hobby farm, create a wedding or event venue, or simply enjoy a private retreat, the possibilities here are truly endless.
