Property Description
**Historic Character, Country Views & a Seller-Paid Rate Buydown** Set among the rolling countryside of Northern Michigan, this distinctive 3-bedroom stone home offers approximately 1,200 square feet of character, history, and opportunity. Original wood flooring, unique architectural details, and timeless stone construction give the home a warmth and personality that is increasingly hard to find. Adding to the appeal, the seller is offering a **2-point mortgage rate buydown**, which may help reduce the buyer’s interest rate by approximately 0.50%, depending on loan terms and lender approval. It is a meaningful incentive that can help make this unique property even more attractive. Outside, wide-open country views and memorable sunsets create the kind of peaceful setting that defines Northern Michigan living. A historic barn, once part of a local dairy operation, adds another layer of character while providing valuable space for storage, equipment, hobbies, projects, or future possibilities. Additional outbuildings offer even more flexibility. The location puts you within convenient reach of Ellsworth and Central Lake, while Torch Lake, Intermediate Lake, Lake Michigan, and the Chain of Lakes are all nearby. Boating, fishing, hiking, skiing, golf, wineries, Glacial Hills Trails, Antrim Creek Natural Area, A-Ga-Ming Golf Resort, and Shanty Creek Resort are all part of the lifestyle surrounding this property. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, an Up North getaway, or simply a home with a story and character of its own, this property offers something genuinely different—historic charm, useful outbuildings, beautiful countryside, and a seller-paid mortgage incentive that adds even more value.
