## Description

### Agent Description
Charming log cabin retreat nestled on nearly 15 acres just 7 miles from downtown Traverse City! This inviting 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with a cozy loft offers the perfect blend of rustic character and peaceful country living. Surrounded by natural beauty and backing directly to state land, this property provides unmatched privacy and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation right out your back door.  The estate is well-equipped for hobby farming or storage needs, featuring a 32x24 barn with cement floors, two 10-foot lean-to additions, and two additional sheds. A full basement currently serves as a workshop, offering even more functional space for projects or storage.  Zoned to allow for a small farm—including horses—as well as rental opportunities, this versatile property is ideal as a year-round residence, vacation getaway, or investment. Enjoy the tranquility of acreage living while remaining just minutes from all that Traverse City has to offer.
