5110 PUMPANICKEL ROAD, TRAVERSE CITY, MI 49696

This property on the Boardman River is one of those rare places where peace and quiet can truly be felt. While it's still just a few minutes from town in East Bay Township, it feels like it's a world away from the hustle and bustle. The only sound for your ears to hear is the gently flowing river, and the absence of light pollution means the Milky Way is yours for viewing on clear nights. Nestled on this 2.11-acre parcel with 210 feet of river frontage is a lodge-style home that was lovingly custom-built by the current owner with new and reclaimed materials used in high-quality artisan craftsmanship. The property is being sold furnished, meaning you can enjoy it right away. Highlights include soaring vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a wood stove insert in the living room, hardwood floors in the island kitchen, complete with handmade stained glass accents in the dining area, a lovely screened-in porch, and a back deck. There are two bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room on the main level, along with two more bedrooms and second full bath in the upper level (which also features built-in openings to the living room to aid in heat flow). In addition to the 4-bedroom home, the detached bunkhouse features space for parking 3 vehicles, a 36x15 living area with a kitchen and full bath, along with a 40x14 bunk room in the upper level - this means you can sleep a minimum of 20-25 people with the current beds in the property, but the owner has entertained upwards of 50 people for gatherings. This stretch of the Boardman is upstream from the Brown Bridge Quiet Area with an abundance of hiking trails and thousands of acres of adjacent state land to explore. Located down an ultra-private road for seclusion, properties on Pumpanickel Rd. seldom come up for sale - this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
