Located in Midland County, this 33.67± acre property combines a well-built five-bedroom home, a large insulated pole barn, stocked pond, and wooded recreational acreage. The home and outbuilding provide substantial finished and functional space, while the surrounding acreage adds privacy, hunting ground, trails, and room to enjoy the property outdoors. The home was thoughtfully designed with attention given to both the layout and finishes throughout. The main level features an open and flowing floor plan while still maintaining separation between the primary living spaces. Custom cherry cabinetry, molding, and wood finishes are found throughout the home and give the interior a consistent appearance. The living room is centered around a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace, while glass French doors provide direct access to the back deck overlooking the pond. The kitchen connects to an additional family room, providing another comfortable gathering space separate from the main living room. From there, the home continues into an all-season room that can function as an office, recreation room, sitting area, or other flexible year-round space. The primary suite is located on the main floor. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Two of the bedrooms offer good-sized layouts with standard closets, while the larger third bedroom includes a walk-in closet and enough space to accommodate additional uses if desired. An additional open area upstairs provides a convenient location for a desk, office setup, or study area. The basement adds considerably more finished living space. Approximately half of the basement is finished with a large recreation and living area, wet bar, fifth bedroom, and full bathroom. The unfinished portion contains the home's mechanical and utility systems along with substantial storage space and additional room that could potentially be finished or adapted for other uses. Additional home features include an attached two-car garage, central air conditioning, forced-air heat, city water, and a well. A great component of the property is the 40x80 insulated pole barn. A 10x65 covered lean-to extends along the rear of the building, creating additional covered space outside the main structure. The barn is equipped with power, water, a full bathroom, and two furnaces for heat. Four separate office rooms have also been constructed inside, providing flexible space for storage, hobbies, projects, or other permitted uses. Vehicle and equipment access is provided by two 10x10 overhead doors along with an additional 8x10 door leading into a designated painting room. Between the open floor area, offices, utilities, heat, and multiple access doors, the building offers substantial space for boats, recreational vehicles, equipment, workshop activities, collections, and general storage. Buyers considering commercial or business-related uses should verify applicable zoning and local requirements. Beyond the home and buildings, the property includes 33.67± acres with a mix of hardwoods, softwoods, and areas of thicker cover. A partial trail system extends through the acreage and provides established access toward the northern portions of the property for hiking, hunting, property maintenance, and general recreational use. Plenty of deer trails are present throughout portions of the property, and one hunting blind is currently in place. The existing timber, thicker cover, trails, and open areas provide a starting point for someone looking to further develop the recreational side of the acreage. There is room to evaluate additional stand locations, food plots, or other habitat improvements based on the next owner's goals. Directly behind the home is a ground-fed pond approximately 20± feet deep. The pond is stocked with fish and includes an aerator that is currently not connected. Its location immediately behind the home creates a scenic backdrop from the deck and living areas while adding another recreational feature to the property. The combination of the five-bedroom home, substantial pole barn, pond, wooded acreage, and established trail access creates a property with several distinct components without requiring them to compete for space. Convenient access to M-20, M-30, and US-10 also provides straightforward routes toward Midland, Mount Pleasant, and other surrounding Mid-Michigan communities. Call us today to schedule your own private tour.

Sanford's Most Recognizable House Has a Few Surprises Inside If you've driven through Sanford more than once, you already know this house. It's the mint green one. The kind of mint green that doesn't apologize for itself, that you can spot from two streets over, that has probably been a landmark in someone's directions at some point ("turn left at the green house, you can't miss it"). And you can't. But here's what you don't know unless you've been inside. She's had a lot of love poured back into her recently. Fresh paint, newer flooring, and enough little touches to make her feel genuinely special instead of just memorable from the curb. The living room is the kind of large that actually became a problem for me. I have staging tricks. I have ways of making smaller rooms look bigger and bigger rooms look intentional. This room laughed at all of them. It is enormous, the kind of space where you stop thinking about furniture placement and start thinking about what kind of life you want to live in it. Movie nights with too many people. A piano you've always wanted. A reading corner that doesn't feel cramped into an afterthought. There's room for all of it and then some. Past that, you've got over 1,700 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and a bathroom so cheerful it matches the personality of the exterior. Apparently the vibrancy doesn't stop at the front door. Outside, there's a deep attached garage for anyone who actually wants to park a vehicle and still have room for tools, bikes, and the various other things garages accumulate. And then there's the back patio, covered, comfortable, and overlooking two thirds of an acre that feels like a lot more than two thirds of an acre. The privacy back there is the kind you usually have to drive out to actual acreage to get. Instead, it's right here in town. All of that, the size, the privacy, the space that made my staging brain sweat a little, for $185,000. In Sanford. That's a number that's getting harder to find attached to this much room and this much yard. So yes, she's mint green. She's always been mint green. But now she's mint green with fresh paint, new floors, a backyard that feels like its own oasis, and a price tag that makes a lot of sense once you've stood in that living room. Some houses you forget. This one, you were never going to.
