There are properties that give you privacy, and then there are properties that simply feel removed from the business of the world entirely. Welcome to 10688 N Sherman Road. Set on 2.16 acres in the rolling, wooded countryside outside Barryton, this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-full-bath home sits in an elevated setting with gorgeous views into the surrounding woods. The setting is quiet, private and distinctly Northern Michigan — the kind of place where the view out the window changes with every season and your closest neighbors are often deer. Inside, the home has been freshly painted and thoughtfully remodeled, but without losing the character that makes it special. Warm wood interiors, natural textures and an inviting cabin-inspired feel work perfectly with the wooded surroundings. There is a comfortable sophistication here — updated and clean, but still warm enough to feel like a true country retreat. You will be challenged to find something that has not been recently replaced or updated, from roof, to doors, to windows, to flooring and so so much more, this full-time residence has been thoughtfully updated throughout. Outside, the property gets even better. A large 4+ car garage/pole barn + storage shed provides serious room for vehicles, boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, hunting equipment, a workshop or simply the kind of storage space that is almost impossible to have too much of. With 2.16 acres, there is plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors without signing yourself up to maintain a massive property. And if hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation are part of the reason you're moving north, this location makes a lot of sense. The Barryton area is surrounded by woods, wetlands, lakes, rivers and thousands of acres of recreational land, including the Martiny Lake Flooding and State Game Area. Less than 2 miles away from the DNR boat launch and 8 point lake! Deer and small-game hunting are part of the fabric of this area, while nearby lakes and the Chippewa River system provide excellent opportunities for fishing, kayaking and exploring. This is a property for someone who wants a little more independence from the world around them — beautiful woods out the windows, room for the toys, privacy when you come home, and a house that has already had much of the updating done. Whether you're looking for a year-round home, a Northern Michigan base camp, or simply a quieter place with some character and elbow room, 10688 N Sherman Road is an awfully compelling package!
