Welcome to your own private piece of country living, conveniently located just minutes from Macomb! This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on approximately 30 acres and offers an incredible combination of comfortable living, recreational opportunities, livestock potential, hunting, and the freedom to create the rural lifestyle you've always wanted.

The thoughtfully updated home features a spacious and functional layout with a bright living area, formal dining room, and updated kitchen complete with newer cabinetry, butcher-block-style countertops, center island, pantry storage, and built-ins. The main level also offers a large laundry area, mudroom, welcoming foyer, and additional flexible space that could easily serve as an office, hobby room, or guest area. The primary suite provides excellent storage with two walk-in closets, including one featuring custom built-ins.

Outside, enjoy the peaceful setting from the brand-new deck or relax on the covered front porch overlooking the property's beautiful front entry and surrounding landscape. The full basement adds valuable storage and functionality and includes a whole-house water filtration system, water softener, dewatering system, and concrete safe room.

The land is where this property truly shines. Spring Creek runs through the property, while a private pond, open ground, and mixed timber create a diverse landscape with something for everyone. The acreage offers excellent potential for horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, gardening, or the homestead you've always dreamed of. Enjoy fishing from your own pond or take advantage of the property's hunting opportunities for deer, turkey, and small game.

The property is exceptionally well equipped with two large barns providing tremendous space for livestock, equipment, vehicles, storage, and more. One barn features horse stalls along with electric and water access. Additional outbuildings provide space for chickens, storage, and garage parking. Three cisterns provide additional water access for agricultural use, while a drilled well services the home.

For the entrepreneur, the property's combination of acreage, buildings, setting, and accessibility creates exciting potential for a variety of income-producing uses. The large barn and surrounding property could offer an excellent setting for a private event venue, wedding venue, winery, agritourism operation, or other business venture, subject to applicable approvals and zoning.

Whether you're searching for a hobby farm, horse property, homestead, hunting property, recreational retreat, potential venue, or simply a peaceful place to enjoy country living, this property offers an exceptional amount of space, infrastructure, and versatility. With so much already in place and located only approximately 15 minutes from Macomb, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly hard to find.
