Description

The opportunities are extensive for this incredible 25.9-acre property that features frontage on a small, private lake, an exceptional equestrian facility, and one of the most gorgeous building sites you will see anywhere in the Ann Arbor area. The beautiful setting includes 7.5 acres of woods with mature trees, rolling land, and 365 ft of shoreline on the natural spring-fed lake with a dock for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and more. The property is two parcels, sold together, with the possibility of two homes. The property includes a modern, high-end equestrian barn with 10 horse stalls, multiple fenced horse pastures, and a 1424 square foot one-bedroom, two-bath apartment. A second modern pole barn is split between a heated garage/workshop and hay storage. The property works perfectly as a dedicated horse facility for your own horses, or as a boarding and training facility. The horse barn was constructed with maximum airflow, minimum fire risk and easy management of the horses' daily needs in mind. The barn includes a heated tack room, great storage, and high ceilings with an abundance of natural light. The apartment was designed for easy overnight stays with your horses and includes a living room, kitchen, and full bath on the main floor and bedroom and 2nd full bath on the upper level. The second barn features a fully heated work-shop area with a concrete floor and large over-head doors. The workshop is perfect for a car-enthusiast or wood-working shop. The remainder of this barn is designed for indoor hay storage, tractors, and other farm equipment. Wildlife abounds on this truly remarkable property, including bald eagles, deer, osprey and other rarer birds, and the 11-acre lake is populated with some magnificent fish.

More about the Equestrian Facility:

The stable, hay barn, and primary turnout for the horses are at the highest point on the property with 30-50ft of elevation, a large gutter/drain system, and mud-free footing that provides one of the driest equestrian facilities in Michigan. Nelson Automatic Waterers in the stalls and in the primary turnout eliminate the significant task of keeping the animals watered in all weather conditions. Dutch-doors with paddock access in every stall can eliminate turn-out duties. Horses can even be separated into two groups with 24/7 access to stalls and shade no matter which pasture they're enjoying. Finally, a Thurobed Mattress System in every stall significantly reduces the need for bedding. Together, these features result in one of the lowest effort equestrian operations that you will find.

    "I have very easy access to public transportation. I can ride my bicycle anywhere, and safely for the most part. I don’t drive to work so I can’t speak to the traffic, but from what I can tell, there is quite a morning rush into downtown. I love living in Ann Arbor. The current road closures for the purpose of allowing business to overflow outside their walls for the safety of those who wish to be consumers- I think is wonderful example of people coming together to work around hardship.
