Single Family Residence In Trout Creek

Discover a truly special Northwoods property tucked away on 60 acres and surrounded on three sides by the Ottawa National Forest. This custom-built four-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers 2,648 square feet of living space and an exceptional combination of privacy, recreation, gardens, wildlife habitat, and year-round comfort. The home features a spacious main-floor kitchen plus a kitchenette in the basement family room, making the lower level ideal for guests, entertaining, or extended stays. In-floor hydronic heat throughout the home, complemented by a woodstove and electric baseboard backup, provides multiple heating options throughout the seasons. Step outside onto the wrap-around porch and take in views of the garden area, private pond, prairie meadows, and fruit tree orchard along with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and black raspberry patches. The landscape is a beautiful mix of mature maple groves, old-growth white pine, spruce, birch, aspen, hemlock, and oak, with terrain ranging from open fields and prairie meadows to rolling wooded hills. Well-maintained trails wind throughout the property and provide excellent opportunities for ATV/UTV riding, hiking, snowshoeing, and exploring your own acreage. The private 12-foot-deep pond is stocked with Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, Walleye, Bluegill, and minnows. Enjoy a swim on a summer afternoon or fish for dinner right at home. A heated pole building with running water provides additional workspace and storage. There is also a dedicated processing area with hydronic in-floor heat and hot/cold water, suitable for fish, game, and garden processing, along with an adjoining heated workshop/storage area. After a day exploring the property, relax in the outdoor sauna and cold plunge tank. On clear evenings, step outside and enjoy the possibility of watching the northern lights from your own private retreat. The property is located just off a year-round paved road and is close to numerous area lakes, including Paint Lake, Robinson Lake, Teepee Lake, Winslow Lake, Golden Lake, and James Lake. The setting is ideal for those seeking privacy and year-round outdoor recreation. This is more than a home—it is a Northwoods homestead and recreational retreat, with established gardens and orchard, private fishing pond, extensive trails, heated workspace, and direct access to an extraordinary outdoor landscape. A rare opportunity to own 60 acres surrounded by the Ottawa National Forest and create your own private Northwoods lifestyle. If you’re looking for a place where you can live, hunt, fish, grow your own food, explore miles of trails, and enjoy the Northwoods in every season, this property is ready for you.
