Description

PRIVATE WOODED RETREAT WITH EXCEPTIONAL 40' x 60' CAR BARN ON 9 SCENIC ACRES. Perched high on a hill in Southwest Michigan's Mogadore Valley region, this custom contemporary home offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and functional space. Set on two parcels totaling 9 acres, the property features rolling wooded terrain, scenic views, and a peaceful, retreat-like setting. A true standout is the impressive 40' x 60' detached garage/workshop, ideal for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone needing substantial workspace and storage. Divided into two 30' x 40' sections, it includes heated workspace, hot and cold water, compressed air, epoxy floor, ample cabinetry, an office area, and multiple overhead doors--making it an exceptional and highly versatile asset. Built in 2001 by Dave Mark Construction and thoughtfully updated over 16 years of ownership, the home blends architectural character with modern improvements. Inside, vaulted ceiling skylights, rounded corners, and walls of Pella windows fill the space with natural light and capture the surrounding landscape. The main level features a dramatic living room with a gas fireplace and expansive views, flowing into a well-designed kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, skylights, and generous storage. A formal dining room, four-season room, and pergola-covered deck provide ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a tray ceiling, built-in desk/vanity, and a spa-like bath featuring a large tiled shower, whirlpool tub overlooking the valley, and double vanity. A second main-level bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests or single-level living. The finished lower level expands the living space with a kitchenette, family room, library/craft/game room, full bath, and flexible rooms for additional bedrooms or office use, along with a workshop and additional laundry. The attached 3-stall garage is fully equipped with cabinetry, hot and cold water, compressed air, gas heater, and epoxy flooring. The landscaped grounds feature terraced areas, manicured lawn, flower gardens, firepit, and two separate driveways from Birch Road and Carter Lake Street. Recent updates include a new 30-year roof (2023), heat pump HVAC system (2021), Generac whole-house generator (2024), and monitored security system (both home and car barn). Conveniently located within reach of University of Notre Dame, South Bend, and within driving distance of the Chicago area. More than a home, this is a private retreat offering space, versatility, and a lifestyle difficult to find.
