Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Set in Joyfield Township, this residential development property centers on a historic Gambrel barn built with timber framing, hand-hewn mortise and tenon joinery, and oak pegs. The structure has been preserved while several key site and foundation items are already in place, including a restored stone foundation, a new AdvanTech engineered subfloor, freshly poured garage floors, insulated basement floors, and a newly installed gravel driveway. This is not a finished home; it’s a project with a substantial head start.
Architectural plans prepared by a Northern Michigan-based architect show a 3–4 bedroom, 3.5-bath residence across three levels, including a walkout lower level and an elevated main living area. The plans are available, but not required, and the structure and site can support multiple paths forward.
A mix of hardwood forest and open pasture creates usable space while maintaining privacy. The township is described as allowing a wider range of use compared to nearby more restrictive areas; buyers should verify their intended use with Joyfield Township. Showings are by appointment only; please respect neighboring properties.
