Just minutes from Traverse City, you can enjoy sweeping unobstructed views and space high overhead – and that’s just in the barn. It still boasts the original open timber frame construction on the second story that has stood the test of time. An additional mostly-pole barn and a large detached two-stall garage offer even more storage/work/fun space.

What about the house itself? Unlike the barn, which dates from the same era – 1930 – the home at 4085 E Traverse Highway in Cedar ($385,000; MLS #1913398), has been completely updated. The cozy one bedroom, one bath house offers a kitchen with quartz countertops, an island with seating for four or five, and stainless appliances. More updates? Plumbing, electrical, roof, windows, furnace and central air, hardwood floors and a walk-in closet all bring it into the present day.
So vacation spot, home, farming? That’s up to the buyer, but the renovated home, the barns and a tillable five acres mean there are plenty of options.
