Description
Looking for a one of a kind home in the Most Beautiful setting! You've found it! This Wood Craftsman/Bungalow style home built in 1987 by Rex and Phyllis Alexander on 40 Acres surrounded by 300 Acres of Federal and State Of Michigan Land can never be recreated. A trail runs through the land along the edge of Bear Creek(Nationally recognized Trout stream). The trail in the 40's was how children from the Leckrone property reached school miles away in Brethren. The property is located on the highest hill in the Brethren area and has seasonal views of Crystal Mountain-30 Miles away and Caberfae Ski Resort 20 Miles Away. If you have a love for the out of doors and want to live in the beauty that this home offers this is the property for you.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school promotes the slogan “small school, big family,” but unfortunately that hasn’t been the experience from a parent perspective. At times it feels less like a family supporting students and more like a tight circle that protects staff and internal decisions rather than fully addressing concerns brought forward by parents.Concerns about bullying do not always appear to be taken as seriously as they should be, and responses can sometimes feel dismissive rather than focused on resolving the issue. There also seems to be inconsistency in how students with special needs are supported. Families who advocate for accommodations may feel like their concerns are minimized unless issues are directly observed at school.Communication with parents could also be improved. When parents raise concerns about their child’s wellbeing or support needs, the response should feel collaborative and solution-focused rather than dismissive.Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard at school. Based on my experience, I do not recommend this school.Parent Review2mo ago
