This meticulously maintained 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom tri-level residence sits at the heart of 40 pristine acres, offering a rare blend of sophisticated living and world-class outdoor recreation. The home's exterior is a masterclass in curb appeal, featuring professional landscaping, a decorative pond, and a fenced garden that creates a park-like atmosphere. Whether you are enjoying a quiet morning in the expansive sunroom or watching the sunset over your private acreage, the home serves as a seamless bridge between indoor comfort and the great outdoors. For the avid sportsman, this property is a true legacy estate. The land is thoughtfully managed with established food plots, multiple hunting blinds, and a natural pond that draws in local wildlife, making it a turnkey haven for hunters. If 40 private acres aren't enough, the property sits directly across from the Manistee National Forest, granting you immediate access to over 8,000 acres of additional public land. After a day in the woods, you can retreat to a home built for ultimate peace of mind, featuring energy-efficient geothermal heating and cooling, a newer roof and windows, and a whole-house Generac generator to ensure you're never left in the dark. Storage and hobby space are equally impressive, anchored by an oversized 32 x 45 garage featuring a heated workshop--perfect for year-round projects--and an additional pole barn for all your seasonal toys and equipment. From the high-end mechanical upgrades to the unrivaled access to Michigan's natural beauty, this estate offers a lifestyle of total privacy and limitless adventure. Don't miss the opportunity to claim this exceptional retreat as your own. ## Location - **Address:** 10343 N Walnut Avenue, Bitely, MI 49309 - **County:** Newaygo - **Coordinates:** 43.740495, -85.763845 -
