There's a lot to see (and love) here. Address is on M-55, accessed through Schaiberger Ln (shared with parcel adjacent to south). This is a large parcel with multiple structures. Large circle drive leads to the residence. Looks to have been beautifully landscaped prior to abandonment. Exterior of the house is gorgeous. Rear of the house was being remodeled for enclosed porch and patio. Interior appears to be an older country home that has received one or more additions over the years. The interior is also mid-remodel. In particular, it looks like plumbing and electrical are a work in progress throughout the structure. This place looks to have been well cared for throughout its lifespan. As such, it offers both classic and modern charm. Mechanicals all appear to be on the newer end, including the hot water boiler. Also has a Generac backup generator. There is lots of space in here. Depending on how the space is utilized, there's four bedrooms, plus office, sitting room, etc. Appears to have a full (unfinished) basement, which seems to have stayed dry. Fireplace in the basement and main floor, and the split wood indicates its functional. Personal property throughout this and other structures on the parcel, much of it packed up. Two car garage attached to the house. Right behind the house is a pole barn (with lean-to wings), which looks to have been used as a shop/man-cave. Overhead gas heat in there. There's a second level up top, too. Beyond that is a nearby concrete pad. That may have been the footprint of something else in a past life, but looks to have last been used as a basketball half-court most recently. Further beyond that is another garage/barn. It may have had livestock use in the past considering the fencing. Both accessory structures have have their own sub panels, and it looks like water, too. There is far too much here to try and encapsulate in brief comments. The photos will have to do most of the additional speaking. This is a great location; minutes away from virtually everything West Branch has to offer. Although M-55 runs to the north, there is virtually no visibility of this parcel from the roadside, but you can hear the road noise. It will take some time and effort to complete the house, but will almost certainly be worth the headache. Whipping the grounds back into shape will also be non-trivial. This is the type of place you imagine large family gatherings happening across generations; the ancestral family forever home. Make it happen.
