There are properties you buy for the house. Others you buy for the land, location and possibilities. 850 Maggie Road North gives you all of it. Tucked away on approximately 30 acres in beautiful Charlevoix County, this well-maintained 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers privacy, elbow room and the kind of Northern Michigan setting that rarely comes to market. Even better, the property adjoins approximately 40 acres of state land that sees very little use, giving you the feeling of nearly 70 acres of wilderness outside your door. For the outdoorsman, this one is ready to go. Terrific hunting habitat includes an established food plot and elevated tower deer stand. But this isn’t just a hunter’s paradise—it’s a gatherer’s paradise, too. Explore the woods for wild mushrooms, watch the wildlife or simply enjoy everything nature provides. Large windows throughout the home bring the outdoors in, filling the home with natural light and creating the feeling that you’re living right alongside the woods. Some will call it a little gem; others may see a diamond in the rough, because the possibilities here are tremendous. Already-cleared areas provide opportunities for additional building, a barn, workshop or the Northern Michigan family compound you’ve imagined. The three-car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, toys and equipment, with the possibility of an additional bathroom. A plow truck is even included with the sale. And while it feels wonderfully removed, you’re centrally located to Boyne Mountain, Boyne City, Gaylord and Petoskey, putting skiing, golf, boating, dining, trails and four seasons of recreation within easy reach. Privacy. Acreage. Nature. Location. Opportunity. Properties like this simply don’t come along very often. 850 Maggie Road North is Northern Michigan waiting for your next chapter.
