Property Description

For buyers looking to step into a ready-made horse property with room to spread out, this offering combines nearly 13.9 acres across two adjoining parcels with pasture, fencing, two substantial equestrian/agricultural buildings, and access from both Backman Rd and Van Dyke Rd. The two improvement areas are naturally separated by forest and stream, creating unusual privacy and flexibility. The 2,944 sf, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is dated but functional and move-in ready, with generous living areas, two fireplaces, a downstairs pellet stove, territorial views to the west, and two decks accessed from the living/dining area and primary bedroom. Equestrian improvements include a newer covered arena/stall building plus a separate older barn with multiple stalls and a large shop/work area. Pastures are usable with minor preparation. The adjoining 12.48-acre parcel has its own separate well and permitted 3-bedroom mound septic system, creating intriguing future-use potential. Buyer to verify future residential use and development possibilities to buyer’s satisfaction. A rare combination of acreage, established horse infrastructure, shop space, privacy, and country living near Rochester and I-5.
