One-of-a-kind properties like this rarely come to market because this is more than simply a house, land, or pole barn - it is a place with meaning, uniqueness, and year-round character. Perched high atop a beautiful ridge in Wexford County, this spacious home enjoys a secluded setting off the main road while overlooking an absolutely breathtaking valley below. Fletcher Creek meanders along the southern edge of the property, creating stunning scenery, fertile ground, exceptional wildlife habitat, and a truly rare opportunity to enjoy private trout fishing right on your own property. Quaint little camping areas tucked along the creek provide the perfect setting for relaxing, enjoying a campfire, or making memories with family and friends.

A well-maintained trail system winds throughout the acreage, providing easy access to every corner and opening the door to excellent hunting opportunities for deer, turkey, small game, and upland birds. The combination of timber, creek bottom, ridge, and varied terrain creates the kind of diverse habitat outdoor enthusiasts dream about. The property also offers the potential to become an incredible horse farm, with the scenic setting, open areas, trails, water, and abundant space providing an ideal foundation for an equestrian lifestyle.

From the home, the expansive views and peaceful sounds of the babbling creek create a setting worthy of Northern Michigan with a sprinkle of Montana or Wyoming!

Inside, the home offers a classy, open floor plan on both levels, providing plenty of room for large gatherings while also allowing guests to spread out and enjoy their own space. Gorgeous custom cabinetry, tasteful color schemes, beautiful flooring, and thoughtful finishes give the home a warm yet refined feel. Step outside onto the large deck and take in the sweeping valley views - a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, entertain friends, or simply watch the seasons change.

A spacious attached two-car garage provides everyday convenience, while the large detached heated pole barn sits privately below the home at the end of the groomed driveway. The barn offers substantial storage for equipment, along with a well-designed workshop.

Conveniently located between Cadillac and Traverse City, this property puts you close to countless Northern Michigan recreational opportunities while providing a private retreat to come home to. Only a short drive to the famed Big Manistee River and Crystal Mountain Ski & Golf adds another layer of four-season recreation. Properties with this combination of home, views, creek frontage, private trout fishing, camping areas, hunting, equestrian potential, privacy, trails, and outbuildings are exceptionally hard to find. This is truly a special place.
