Whole house generator AND tankless water heater. Somebody thought this one through.
I drive past 13 Mile all the time and never imagined something like this was back there. Wild.
Close to I-94 and Marshall schools? That's a tough combo to find out in the country like that.
Pat_MarshallRight? Usually if you want that kind of acreage you're sacrificing the commute big time. This one seems like a rare exception.
Whole house generator is a must out that far. Smart that it's already included.
Built in 2019 so everything should still be pretty new. No surprise repair bills lurking hopefully.
That primary suite sounds dreamy. Spa bathroom plus a big walk-in closet, yes please.
No HOA is honestly the biggest feature on that list if you ask me.
Bob VanzettiHonestly yeah. The second you add an HOA to a property like that you lose half the appeal. Do what you want with your land.
15 acres and still minutes from I-94? That's actually a really good location for what you're getting.
The walkout basement for extended family is a huge selling point these days. Smart layout.
Rachel T.Especially with how multigenerational living has taken off lately. Having that separate lower level is way better than trying to add on later.
Built in 2019 so at least everything is still pretty new. No surprise repair bills right away hopefully.
I drive past 13 Mile all the time. Had no idea there was something like this back there.
mike_calhounThat whole stretch of 13 Mile surprises you. Easy to just drive past and not realize what's tucked back in those trees.
No HOA is honestly underrated. That alone makes it worth a second look.
That 30x40 outbuilding is what sold me. Husband would never leave the garage.
Carolyn SheffHa! Same with mine. He'd basically move in out there and we'd never see him for dinner again.
The 30x40 outbuilding is what got me. My husband would never leave.
975k is steep for Battle Creek but honestly for 15 acres and a custom build it makes sense.
Jim R.Exactly my thought. Compare it to what $975k gets you in Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo and suddenly it looks like a deal.
My buddy kayaks on Mud Lake every summer. Beautiful spot out there, super quiet.
Mud Lake is gorgeous in the fall. Can only imagine waking up to that view every morning.
Greg PolanskiMud Lake is so underrated. People always talk about Gull Lake but that area has its own kind of quiet beauty that's hard to beat.
5 bathrooms for 4 bedrooms? I mean okay lol
5 bathrooms tho?? who needs 5 bathrooms lol
Brent Bidwell does really nice work. Seen a few of his builds around the area and they hold up well.
Sandra MillhouseAgreed, my neighbor had him build their place off F Drive and it still looks brand new. Attention to detail is obvious.
That lake frontage alone is worth it. Mud Lake is gorgeous in the fall.
15 acres on Mud Lake for under a million? That's actually not bad for what you're getting.
975k in Battle Creek though? That's a tough sell for most folks around here.
