Description
Opportunities like this don't come around often, offering over 34 acres, private lake frontage, and the freedom to create a lifestyle that's entirely your own. Set on approximately 1,600 feet of water frontage with a rare blend of open land and wooded privacy, this estate is accessed via a long private driveway that enhances the sense of seclusion and arrival, delivering a true retreat setting while remaining within reach of everyday conveniences. With over 3,600 sq ft above grade plus a finished walkout basement, this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home is designed for both comfort and flexibility. Inside, hardwood floors, expansive windows, and multiple door walls frame the surrounding landscape, bringing the outdoors in from nearly every room. The open kitchen and dining area features an oversized island, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and space to gather, while four fireplaces throughout the home create warmth and character across each level. Upstairs, each bedroom offers its own private bath, including a spacious primary suite with fireplace, walk-in closet, and direct access to a full-length balcony overlooking the property and water. The finished walkout basement adds even more versatility with a rec room, additional bedroom, full bath, and direct access to the backyard. Step outside and the lifestyle truly comes to life. Multiple outdoor living spaces, including dual full-length balconies, a custom pergola with swing seating and fire pit, and a separate deck with a custom metal soaking tub, offer endless ways to relax and entertain. Beyond the immediate outdoor living areas, the land itself opens the door to a wide range of possibilities, whether you envision quiet mornings by the water, sunsets from the balcony, exploring wooded trails, observing wildlife in its natural habitat, or embracing recreational pursuits like fishing and hunting, all while enjoying the space, privacy, and freedom that this kind of acreage affords. The property also features private frontage on a quiet, spring-fed body of water shared by only a limited number of neighboring properties, creating a peaceful setting with frequent wildlife sightings, including deer, birds, and occasional eagles, and an environment that can be enjoyed throughout every season. A standout feature is the large two-story pole barn with a newer roof (2020), offering exceptional space for hobbies, storage, recreational equipment, or workshop use, with flexibility to suit a wide range of needs. While the home does not currently have an attached garage, the property offers ample room for future expansion if desired. Additional highlights include mature apple trees that add character and seasonal enjoyment, along with extensive updates such as a newer roof (2017), two furnaces (2017 and 2018), tankless hot water heater (2018), updated water filtration system, two A/C units, one replaced approximately 2 years ago and one existing unit, and a freshly painted exterior (2026) that enhances the home's curb appeal. New carpet throughout the above-grade living areas (2026) adds a clean, move-in-ready feel. Located just minutes from Brighton and Howell with easy access to I-96 and US-23, and near Brighton Recreation Area, Island Lake, and Kensington Metropark, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, recreation, and accessibility.
