DESCRIPTION
Custom Log Home on 180 Acres - Petoskey, Michigan
At the end of a private, winding drive, surrounded by 180 acres of rolling hardwoods and pristine wilderness, sits a home that perfectly captures the heart of northern Michigan living. This 3,061- square-foot custom log home isn't just a house - it's a retreat, a gathering place and a statement of craftsmanship. With mature timber, panoramic views and an immaculate interior filled with handcrafted detail, this property offers a rare blend of rustic beauty and modern comfort. Located just 12 miles from Petoskey and 10 miles from Indian River, this estate lies in one of Michigan's most sought-after regions. World-class lakes, rivers, trails and charming small towns are all within easy reach, yet the property itself offers total peace and privacy. Whether you're here for the hunting, the scenery, or simply the quiet of the woods, this home delivers it all in one breathtaking package.
The Land: 180 Acres of Natural Beauty and Opportunity
The property features approximately 180 acres of mature northern Michigan timber, with about 140 acres enclosed by a one-wire fence around the perimeter. An established trail system winds throughout the land, providing easy access to every corner - perfect for ATVs, snowmobiles or scenic walks. Stands of oak, maple, pine and spruce fill the landscape, giving the property a classic northern character. For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, the setting is exceptional. Deer, turkey, bear, and small game are abundant, and the property's mixture of thick cover and open ground provides ideal habitat. The owner has enjoyed years of hunting success here, with privacy and surrounding natural land helping to ensure a healthy game population. Beyond recreation, this land also holds solid investment potential. The mature timber stands carry significant value, offering the new owner an opportunity for selective harvesting and long- term return on investment - all while maintaining the natural beauty of the forest.
The Home: Rustic Elegance with Breathtaking Views
The custom-built log home is an architectural gem, handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail and designed to feel warm, welcoming, and timeless. With over 3,000 square feet of finished living space, it's the perfect blend of lodge-style charm and comfortable modern living. One of the home's most striking features is its wraparound porch, which completely encircles the house. Whether you're sipping coffee as the morning sun rises through the trees or watching the last light fade across the rolling timber in the evening, the porch offers panoramic views in every direction. The covered seating areas around the entire home provide space for relaxing, entertaining or simply taking in the peace and quiet of nature - no matter the season. The exterior's custom stone columns add a touch of refined beauty and strength to the rustic log design. Together, the logs, stonework and natural surroundings create a picture-perfect northern Michigan aesthetic that's both inviting and unforgettable.
Main Floor: crafted for comfort and gathering Inside, the main floor is an open, light-filled space where rustic character meets refined comfort. Two beautifully furnished bedrooms each feature custom-built queen beds, four-drawer dressers, and nightstands - all crafted to match the home's log style. Area rugs, soft lighting and handcrafted linen cabinets filled with towels and washcloths make every space feel like a luxury lodge. The kitchen is built to impress, with custom cabinetry, solid-surface countertops and real antler knobs and drawer pulls. Stainless-steel appliances - refrigerator, freezer, stove, microwave and icemaker - provide the convenience of a modern home. The custom-built dining table seats ten comfortably, making it perfect for large family meals and holiday gatherings. The living room feels like the centerpiece of a true log lodge, featuring a leather sofa, two chairs with ottomans, and handcrafted furniture pieces from sofa tables and end tables to a TV stand built specifically for the home. Real elk and whitetail antler chandeliers cast a warm, natural glow across the space and Andersen windows and patio doors allow light to pour in while framing the views outside. Both front and back doors are custom-built with stained glass featuring the Rustic Pine logo - a signature detail that perfectly ties together artistry and function.
Loft: space, warmth, and northern charm: the open loft is designed with both versatility and comfort in mind. It includes two queen beds, two twin bunk beds, a sofa, nightstand and several Brazilian cowhide rugs, creating a cozy yet spacious retreat for guests or family. It's a perfect blend of cabin charm and functional sleeping space - ideal for extended family visits, hunting weekends or relaxing after a day outdoors.
Walkout Level: relaxation and practical living The lower walkout level offers even more living space, including two queen futons, end tables, a coffee table and boat-style shelving units that add to the property's lake-and-woods theme. A television setup provides entertainment space and a custom bathroom linen cabinet comes stocked with embroidered Rustic Pine towels and washcloths, adding a subtle personal touch. The laundry area features cabinetry with laminated countertops, complete with real antler knobs, plus a washer and dryer. A nearby workroom includes a second stainless-steel refrigerator/freezer, additional cabinetry and all the supplies needed for maintaining the home's finish and materials - from paints and stains to sealants and caulks. A dedicated utility room houses a propane furnace with central air, hot water heater, well water bladder tank and the main electrical panel. Everything has been kept in excellent working order and organized for easy access and peace of mind.
Exterior Amenities: built for living outdoors: beyond the home's wraparound porch and panoramic views, the exterior amenities make this property as functional as it is beautiful.
" 1,000-gallon underground propane tank for efficient and reliable energy
" 5" water well (104 feet deep) providing fresh, clean water year-round
" Septic field in excellent condition
" 8x12 wood shed with metal roof, electric, and lighting - perfect for tools and maintenance items
" Frost-free water hydrant for convenience in all seasons
A hand-built 20x30x9 pavilion, crafted from local spruce poles and pine logs with a metal roof, stands as one of the property's most memorable outdoor spaces. It includes an antique gas stove, a nod to the area's heritage and a great spot for outdoor cooking or gatherings. A 14x34x12 Quonset-style shelter provides additional covered storage for vehicles, boats or recreational equipment, with a newer cover installed just two years ago. There's also a designated scrap wood and brush pile - the perfect fuel for a grand winter bonfire under the Michigan stars.
The Lifestyle: Northern Michigan's best few properties can match this one for lifestyle versatility. Here, you're only minutes from some of Michigan's best fishing lakes - Burt Lake, Mullett Lake, and the Inland Waterway - where bass, walleye, trout and salmon fishing are world-class. Hunting, mushroom picking, snowmobiling, golfing, hiking and skiing are all within easy reach, with Petoskey, Indian River and Boyne offering excellent amenities and year-round recreation. For those seeking cultural and leisure experiences, Mackinac Island is just a short half-hour drive away, while I-75 access makes travel convenient. Despite its proximity to everything northern Michigan has to offer, this property remains completely private - a peaceful sanctuary that feels a world away from it all.
