A Thoughtfully Designed Interior: The heart of the home is the living room, anchored by a stunning fireplace and surrounded by oversized windows that overlook the enormous deck and heated in-ground pool. The adjoining chef's kitchen features butcher block counters, custom cabinetry, seamless panel-ready refrigerator, and highly rated Miele double ranges, all designed with functionality and aesthetics in mind.

Thoughtfully separated from the home's other bedrooms, it includes a spa-like bath with dual vanities, vaulted ceilings, private door to the deck, stunning fireplace, and a huge closet. Room to Live, Work, and Grow: Upstairs, you'll find a full bath and two additional bedrooms with an abundance of possibilities to be transformed into the adventurer's dream! Featuring high ceilings, loft areas and large closet - build indoor tree houses or a rock-climbing wall all while in the comfort of your very own room. The finished lower-level walkout features an expansive family room, perfect for movie nights, game days, or creating a home gym or studio. There's also a full bath, bedroom, fireplace, and full kitchen - ideal for guests, hobbies, or work-from-home needs. An Outdoor Lifestyle, Redefined: What truly sets this property apart is the land itself. With over 11 wooded acres to explore, this is more than a backyard, it's your own private nature preserve. Enjoy walking trails, meditation spots, and outdoor sitting areas where you can unplug, recharge, and reconnect. Enjoy relaxing in the screened in gazebo, sunset walks around the surrounding vineyards, or evening campfires around a firepit. There's plenty of room for future additions like a greenhouse, outdoor kitchen, or even a guest cabin tucked into the trees. Whether you're an avid hiker, a nature photographer, or someone who simply craves peace and privacy, this outdoor space is a rare and rejuvenating treasure. Perfectly Located, Yet Perfectly Removed: Despite its seclusion, this hidden woodland gem is located just minutes from Portage, Kalamazoo, and Mattawan.
