Description

Buckley - MLS# 479383
Set on 40 breathtaking acres surrounded by mature black walnut trees and an established Honeycrisp apple orchard, this beautifully renovated farmhouse estate blends refined luxury with authentic Northern Michigan living. The 3,091 sq ft home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its timeless character. Warm natural light fills expansive gathering spaces, while the chef inspired kitchen is designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. From peaceful mornings overlooking the orchard to sunset evenings across the rolling countryside, every inch of this property was built for a slower, more intentional way of life. The nearly 650 sq ft primary suite feels like a private retreat, featuring a gas fireplace, ensuite laundry, steam shower, and personal sauna. Modern upgrades including fiber optic internet, heat pump furnace, whole house generator, Marathon water heater, irrigation system, advanced crawl space ventilation, and a Quadra Firewood stove bring comfort and peace of mind without sacrificing the home’s farmhouse soul. 220 wiring is already in place for a future hot tub installation. Outside, the estate is exceptionally equipped for hobby farming, equestrian use, homesteading, or recreational living. Features include a wired 220-amp pole barn, heated and insulated outbuilding, historic barn with water access, horse stalls, electric pasture, root cellar, and included orchard equipment offering endless flexibility for storage, livestock, workshops, or future expansion. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, this one-of-a-kind property allows the next owner to step immediately into the lifestyle it was designed to provide. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, private retreat, or legacy estate, this is Northern Michigan country living elevated to an entirely different level. Because properties like this aren’t simply purchased… they’re claimed.
