Property Description

The beauty of a vision and a really big flatbed truck moved this circa 1900's granary building from a nearby farm to the growing Jackson family's 20 acres in central Leelanau County. A community then came together. Good friends, & sweat equity tag teamed to build this funky, eclectic, cottage on nearly 5 acres in the woods, where kids explored and roamed around the forest, parents gardened & created their art. Family memories were created. Exposed hand hewn post & beam frame is a testament to longevity, maple floors to durability, & the artistic use of wood, steel, & masonry to craft. Main level primary bedroom, two bedrooms on the upper level share the only bathroom. Time to create your own vision with imagination, a budget, and money well spent, to make this unique abode your special home. Large 9'x28' covered porch will be a welcomed spot for sipping coffee, enjoying the vast views of peaceful, rolling hills. A chicken coop adorned with repurposed building materials could be resurrected for producing hen fruit, maybe a studio, or a she shed. The added underground root cellar might serve in tandem as a place to keep precious wine. The 24x30 detached garage/workshop has lots of utility, but will need some attention. Certainly this gem is a fixer upper, but well worth the effort, to reawaken and create your own memories of kids sledding and tree climbing. A private driveway is shared with 2 other residences. An informal agreement is in place to share in snow removal/maintenance costs at this point, something more formal is possible. Point-of-sale waiver for a water analysis may be likely as the supply lines have been compromised due to improper winterization. Septic was pumped in 2020, and has not had much use since. Yard art and some items from the work shop/garage to be removed, but may need to happen after a sale. This is a one-of-a-kind property. Given the interest, highest and best offers will be reviewed after 4:00 PM 2/12/26.
