Description

Welcome home!!! This charming Stonington Peninsula modern farmhouse pairs a beautifully updated interior (think Joanna Gaines!) with more than 40 acres to call your own and abutting thousands of acres of Hiawatha National Forest on two sides! Privacy and wildlife abound! Built in 1980, nicely updated, and set on a year-round road, this 3 bed, 1.5 bath home has fresh paint, flooring, trim and lighting throughout, as well as beadboard and batten-board details. The inviting living and dining spaces offer room to gather, while a main floor flex room adds versatility... use as a work from home office, guest room, hobby room, book knook, etc. The updated kitchen is open to the dining room and features a convenient island, a newer refrigerator, newly added dishwasher, new sink and faucet, updated cabinet pulls and fresh paint. The updated bathrooms are beautifully designed as well. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and a convenient half bath. The basement provides laundry, utility, and storage space. Outside, well-maintained trails wind through the property, offering room to hike, hunt, snowshoe or cross country ski and enjoy the changing seasons. The hunting here is excellent! Watch deer visit the twelve apple trees, or gather your own fruit from those and the plum and pear trees. Two gardens, a garden house with a ramp for mower access, a huge lilac tree, several additional sheds and a natural spring that creates a pond in spring round out the land. Enjoy backyard birdwatching, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and—on the right nights—the northern lights! The home’s practical features include a new Amish-installed metal roof, poured-concrete foundation, attached garage with 200-amp service and a generator hookup is configured to serve the home and both the attached garage and the detached two car garage with workshop. There’s a drilled well and septic system, whole-house water filtration, reverse-osmosis drinking water, Starlink internet (seller has worked from home), furnace and a wood stove with a new blower that was installed in spring 2026. The attached garage heater and dryer were also replaced in 2026. The kitchen’s refrigerator was installed in 2024. Upstairs bedroom trim will be completed before closing. Set on Stonington Point in Delta County’s Bay de Noc Township, this peaceful rural setting offers a front-row seat to the peninsula’s abundant wildlife and seasonal bird and monarch migrations (nationally famous). Peninsula Point Lighthouse is nearby, as well as shoreline access and opportunities for fishing, kayaking and boating in the surrounding bays. Approximate distances: 12 miles to Rapid River, 15 miles to Peninsula Point, 19 miles to Gladstone and 28 miles to Escanaba. A special property for anyone seeking space, gardens, trails, privacy, wildlife, nature and a quieter Upper Peninsula lifestyle. What an amazing home to call your own where anything is possible from hobby farming, to homesteading, nothing is out of reach.
