What's the value of an unfathomable amount of fresh artesian water naturally driven to the surface from the depths of the enormous Lake Superior Aquifer? Now how about that value in 10 years? What about 20 years? Located near the tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan in the heart of the Midwest's most diverse resort destination, such a property exists. These natural springs are currently damned to create a roughly 4-acre lake that flows into a meandering stream that eventually hits the storied Inland Waterway, a 38-mile trek that starts near the shores of Lake Michigan between Petoskey and Harbor Springs and runs across the tip of the mitt emptying into Lake Huron. This estate spans a diverse 187 acres over two different parcels and boasts 2600 feet of shoreline and a lake that reaches depths of 16 feet and is full of fish and wildlife that you have a private front-row seat to view and interact with. The water is pure, it's cold, and is a natural wonder that can't be replicated. This is the ultimate recreational property with old-growth forests, open fields, river valleys and so much more, but this is not just a land purchase, the house and grounds are magnificent with a newer construction custom home featuring a main floor primary ensuite, two bedrooms and a bath on floor two, a finished lower-level family space, and a soaring barrel ceiling above the open concept living area with a wall of glass looking over the giant veranda and to the lake. Attached garage, detached garage, two pole buildings set up as a hunting headquarters with overhead feeders, gas storage, and miles of trails.... basically, everything you need to enjoy the outdoors at your own private retreat. The possibilities here are endless and the unique nature of these parcels makes it a one-off that could not be replicated by man or machine. In close proximity to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, I-75, and just 5 miles to Pellston Regional Airport. Available to be shown starting Sunday 9.1.24
