Rooted on 5 acres of quiet northern Michigan countryside, this two-story farmhouse at 8449 Townline Road gives you space to spread out, with the character of a home built around 1900, ready for someone to bring it back to life. Mature pines frame the property, and country views stretch out in every direction. Inside, 1,349 finished square feet include a living room, a generous family room, and an 18-foot kitchen with wood floors throughout the main level. Laundry is on the main floor, and the primary bedroom is upstairs. With some updating and personal touches, this home could truly shine. Outside, the property is built for hobbies, storage, and land use, with a detached two-car garage, a garden shed, and a pole barn with 10-foot ceilings that has room for equipment, vehicles, or a workshop. The acreage leaves room to garden, raise animals, hunt, or just enjoy the privacy. If you've been looking for acreage at an attainable price and a place to make your own, this is it.
