The perfect combination of private country living with modern conveniences! Just 16 miles from downtown Marquette on 20 acres of rolling hills and hardwood forest, including towering Maples that are ready to tap, and the sweetest babbling brook running through in the spring, you'll find this well-maintained home that was built in 1995. The cozy home boasts an easy ramp access with wrap around deck that is perfect for taking in evening sunsets, entertaining friends, or cooking up some BBQ. The main entry provides a hall with closet and enough room for bench/coat hooks to get winter gear out of the way. Or just through the sliding glass doors from the deck you'll find an amazing great room/ living space with vaulted ceilings that are lined with tongue and groove. This kitchen, dining, living area is sure to become the heart of the home! The full main bath also provides convenient main floor laundry and further down the hall is the primary suite with its own vaulted ceilings, huge walk in closet and dedicated primary full bath. Sip coffee and watch the sunrise from your bedroom suite! The fully finished lower level has a full walk out egress and egress window where another one or two bedrooms could be added. This space is currently being used as a rec room but could also be a bunk house if the home was used as camp/vacation home. There is a non-conforming bedroom on this level that could also be used as an office or hobby room. There is plenty of storage space as well in the utility area. There is a crock for a sump pump, but none has ever been needed in this dry basement. The high efficiency furnace was purchased just 10 years ago, and the roof was replaced in 2015. A screened-in porch was added as well, the perfect spot to relax during those couple weeks in June when it gets buggy. And new seamless gutters were added with leaf guards recently. Other exterior features include apple tree, fire pit, two and a half car garage with workshop, wood fired sauna building with changing area, two sheds, and plenty of lawn space to play football or corn hole. The current owner has used raised beds to garden in the yard where there is full sunlight and has fed the birds for decades with hummingbirds, orioles, indigo buntings, grosbeaks, finches, and woodpeckers all visiting regularly. DeVought's Country Store and feed supply is just 3.5 miles down the road, the Skandia farmer's market is just 4 miles down the road, and the A&M Cafe is just 5 miles down the road. The 20 acres is split into two 10-acre parcels (sell one and keep one if you'd like!) and is zoned Resource Production so you can have horses, small livestock, bee keep, chickens, create your own hobby farm! You can also hunt on your own land! The land hasn't been select cut in 22 years and is about due again, generate income off the land right away! The current owners also enjoyed taking their side by side down Yalmer to forestry road which took them all the way to Lakenenland, Christmas, and Deerton!
