Large Farmhouse Near Horse Shows - 4 bedrooms - 2.5 baths, Sleeps 7-Plus

Enjoy a country setting in a classic 1800s farmhouse on two private acres surrounded by fields and cherry orchards. This home is located two miles from lakeside Elk Rapids, 8 miles from the Traverse City Horse Shows at Flintfields, and only 15 minutes from Traverse City. It’s filled with original character and updated conveniences. You’ll feel at home relaxing on the large stone porch or watching the sun set around a campfire. The house is set up with a king bed, queen bed, twin bed, and sofa bed, but there is plenty of space for air mattresses to accommodate larger parties.

The large, circle drive makes getting in and out easy.

When you arrive, you'll be greeted by a large stone porch that spans the entire front of the house. To the right is a sitting area with patio furniture that's perfect for watching the sunrise with coffee in the morning, or enjoying the evening breeze with a glass of your favorite beverage. At the other end of the porch is an outdoor dining area that seats 6. As you enjoy a meal or card game together, you'll have views of fields and cherry orchards.

Going through the front door, you'll find original woodwork and maple floors and large windows on every wall bringing in lots of natural light. To the left is a dining area that seats 6 and includes a built in bar (beverages not included), a window seat, and a table set for chess. To the right is a cozy living room with leather furniture and a 75-inch smart tv. The built in bookcases enhance the timeless atmosphere.

The kitchen is set up for a home-cooked meal, with a natural gas stove, plates and dishes, pots and pans, dishwasher, and south-facing windows for plenty of light. At the back of the house is a laundry space with a high-efficiency smart washer and dryer. You'll also find a bathroom with standup shower. There is a bedroom on the main floor, set up as an office with two desks, each ready with a standup desk perfect for catching up with work projects while you travel. This room also offers a full sofa bed.

As you walk up the wide, winding staircase and emerge into a large hallway with entrances to three bedrooms (all with original birdseye maple flooring) and a full bathroom. Bedroom one provides a king-sized sleep number bed, a large closet, and an attached half-bathroom.

Bedroom two offers a queen-sized canopy bed, a cozy dark green interior, a writing desk, a comfy chair for reading, and a large closet.

Bedroom three provides a twin bed, writing desk, and large closet.

Outdoors, you can relax in the hammock. To welcome the night or warm up after a day on the lake, you can build a bonfire with full west-facing views to catch the sunset.

The property is rimmed by birch, walnut, and maple trees, and offers plenty of space for parking.

With timeless appeal and updated conveniences, a central location close to northern Michigan's legendary food, wine, craft brew scenes, boat rentals and endless outdoor activities, this is the perfect place to enjoy your visit.
