About This Home

Location, location, location! Here is a charming 2-bedroom farmhouse/hobby farm in Tapiola! This wonderful 40-acre property offers approximately 30 acres of open fields and 5 acres of wooded land. This location is truly fantastic, being less than a mile from Otter Lake, with a public boat launch, great kayaking and fishing. The natural beauty of this area is undeniable. As you enter, you'll find a spacious and thoughtfully designed kitchen (updated in 2014), along with the bathroom, living room, and sitting/dining room. The front of the house includes a large enclosed porch, part of which has been converted into an additional (3rd) bedroom. The home received new insulation in 2024 along with new entry doors. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms and a landing area that could potentially be converted into a half bath. Outside, the property includes a convenient two-car garage and a large working barn. The current owners have cattle on the land. A significant feature is the large solar panel system installed on the south-facing roof of the barn. While the system doesn't include batteries, it has provided the owners with electricity for the Ontonagon REA minimum of $30 per month, as REA offers a dollar-for-dollar credit for each unit of electricity produced. Impressively, the panels have generated enough electricity for a family of four. The roof of the house was replaced in 2015. The property also boasts raspberries, blueberries, a peach and cherry tree and numerous apple trees (Cortland, Honey crisp, Yellow Transparent and others), all organically grown. Motivated Sellers! Please note that all showing requests require 24-hour notice.
