Real Estate One®

Incredible opportunity to own a beautiful piece of history! This 200-year-old, 1 family-owned farm sits on 2.5 acres in the center of the beautiful Port Hope, located in Michigan's thumb. Just a few miles from Lake Huron and the border to Canada, just imagine the amazing potential for a Bed and Breakfast, destination wedding venue or that hobby farm you have always dreamed of! The 6-bedroom farmhouse used to house the lumberjacks of Port Hope. When it was built, it was designed as a multi-functional home. One half was home to the family and the other half was used as a unique bunkhouse for the local axmen. Can you imagine a more interesting story and history to tell your guests as they make themselves comfortable in one of the 6-8 eclectic bedrooms? The den offers its own secure entrance, original hardwood floors and a hidden staircase that leads to the second floor. The spacious living room leads to the large deck overlooking the beautiful property. The enormous formal dining room opens to the first-floor Primary bedroom suite, office and kitchen. The adorably eclectic, eat-in kitchen is bright and cheery, with a glorious walk-in pantry that leads to a full bathroom and first-floor laundry room. Through the office, you will find the second hidden staircase. Up the stairs you go to find 4 bedrooms with sizable closets and a half bathroom that looks like it's straight out of a dollhouse. Just when you think the tour is over, there is more! Through one of the bedrooms, you will find the 5th hidden bedroom. One more surprise, another hidden room through a bookcase! You must see it to believe it! Exploring the property offers even more incredible surprises with the barns, garages and outbuildings. The property has been priced aggressively to reflect some significant deferred maintenance and is being sold AS IS. It will need a new roof, some ceiling repairs due to water damage and a new front porch. Don't miss this amazing opportunity to bring this historic beauty back to its original splendor!
