About this home
Rare on the Rifle River: Here is an opportunity to own 10.03± acres on the highly desirable Rifle River with approximately 310± feet of private water frontage. Tucked back off the road in a quiet natural setting, this property offers a strong balance of privacy, recreation and comfort, making it well suited for year-round living or a Northern Michigan retreat.
The 2,300± square foot custom-built home offers character and quality craftsmanship throughout. The open concept kitchen, dining, and living area creates an inviting layout centered around a walk-around real wood fireplace that adds warmth and a natural focal point. Custom oak trim, solid wood flooring, and quality cabinetry provide a timeless look and feel. The main-floor primary suite offers convenience and privacy, along with main-floor laundry and an additional half bath for guests.
Upstairs, a spacious loft area offers flexible living space that can function as a second living room, office, or reading area, along with a bedroom and full bathroom. An unfinished bonus room provides the opportunity to create an additional bedroom, hobby room, or storage area depending on future needs. The home is equipped with central air conditioning, furnace heat, pellet stove heat, as well as a whole-house backup generator, providing comfort and reliability throughout all seasons. A heated two-car garage adds convenience and additional storage.
Additional improvements include a heated 40x24 outbuilding with concrete floors, 12' and 8' overhead doors, and a covered porch area that creates an excellent setup for entertaining, equipment storage, or workshop use.
On the land you will find off the back of the house it gently slopes down toward the Rifle River, creating an attractive elevation change while maintaining easy access to the water. The Rifle River is well known for quality trout fishing, kayaking, and year-round outdoor recreation, making this property appealing to both outdoor enthusiasts and those simply looking to enjoy a quiet waterfront setting. Across the road lies 5± acres of the property that offers additional hunting opportunity and directly adjoins hundreds of acres of state land, significantly expanding recreational access and long-term value.
It is rare to find a Rifle River property that combines water frontage, quality improvements, and additional acreage in one complete package. Call Cody Keefer directly to schedule your private showing to see it firsthand. 989-859-6926...
