Nestled on over 15 acres of picturesque land, this charming property offers the perfect balance of peace, privacy, and natural beauty. Aerial photos show a long, private tree‑lined driveway leading from the county road through belts of trees and open fields, emphasizing the property’s privacy and rural setting. Located in the tranquil surroundings of Pike Creek, you can enjoy the soothing sounds of wildlife while relaxing on the expansive covered wraparound porch draped in Wisteria, which features broad wooden posts, cozy seating areas and steps down to the lawn. The property is a nature lover’s dream, featuring a rich variety of trees, including black walnut and apple trees, as well as 2,000 cedar trees; the mature tree canopy and hedgerows are visible from above and create natural buffers around the home. The lush landscape provides a serene haven for local wildlife. The creek running through the property includes a dock, perfect for kayaking or canoeing, offering direct access to Lake St. Clair for your outdoor water adventures, and there is a gently cleared waterline area that connects the yard to the creek. The charming 1.5-story home, built in 2007, is designed with comfort and style in mind; the front elevation shows distinctive dormers, a welcoming roofline and an expansive front lawn anchored by a stone fire pit.

The open concept living space w/ soaring ceilings provides a modern, inviting atmosphere, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining; the living area includes a loft/upper-level overlook, an exposed wood staircase and generous windows that flood the space with light. Custom woodwork throughout adds warmth and character to every room — the staircase, loft railing and trim are all showcased in the main living photo. The finished basement features a Harley-Davidson inspired "man cave," adding a unique touch to the home’s living space. In addition to being a peaceful retreat, the property currently operates as a successful bed-and-breakfast, offering excellent income potential for the savvy investor. The backyard includes several outbuildings, currently used to host Airbnb guests, as well as a converted Old Town saloon – photos show a rustic guest cabin and a gazebo-style gathering structure tucked into the trees, plus a raised deck and covered porch on the event building, making it a stunning venue for weddings, celebrations, and special events.
