About this home
Artfully crafted and lovingly curated over the years, this remarkable log home sits on 10 private wooded acres and offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, creativity, recreation, and self-sufficiency. From the moment you step inside, it becomes clear this is not a home assembled from a checklist of upgrades—it is a property thoughtfully shaped around the functionality of an artisan's homestead, workshop compound, and outdoor recreation basecamp. The showpiece of the home is a breathtaking two-story library where floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stretch toward the vaulted ceiling and a custom red oak rolling ladder glides along the collection. Warm pine walls, hardwood floors, and woodland views create a space equally suited for quiet evenings, lively conversations, or simply getting lost in a good book. The kitchen balances character and function with Cambria quartz countertops, high-end appliances, a walk-in pantry with automatic lighting, and an antique butcher block island that feels perfectly at home in the space. Nearby, a formal dining room and sun-filled breakfast room overlook the gardens and provide easy access to more than 1,500 square feet of covered wraparound decking. The primary suite feels like a private retreat tucked within the woods. Hand-laid travertine, heated floors, a handcrafted walk-in shower with Euro glass door, a soaking tub surrounded by nature, antique cabinetry, and a spiral staircase leading to a hidden bonus room create a space that feels discovered rather than built. Beyond the home itself, the property reflects years of thoughtful stewardship. Established gardens, perennial plantings, herb beds, groomed trails, abundant wildlife, and towering trees create a setting that feels both peaceful and purposeful. For the makers, dreamers, collectors, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs, the outbuildings are equally impressive. A five-car garage, along with two insulated and heated workshops featuring water, 110/220 service, a dedicated paint room, lumber storage, covered work areas, and extensive workspace, offers exceptional flexibility for creative pursuits, home-based businesses, restoration projects, or simply having the room to dream bigger. Located just minutes from multiple lakes, only 2.4 miles from the Ambrose Lake ORV Trailhead, and less than a half-mile from over 100 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, the property offers easy access to some of Northern Michigan's best outdoor recreation. Here, you can enjoy the privacy of country living without sacrificing high-speed fiber internet, connectivity, convenience, or adventure....
