PRIVATE UP NORTH RETREAT WITH HOBBY FARM POTENTIAL – COVINGTON TOWNSHIP  Set on 5 gently rolling acres in Covington Township, this peaceful Upper Peninsula property offers privacy, comfort, and flexibility for a variety of lifestyles—from full-time residence to seasonal getaway. The land includes a blend of open areas and wooded sections, a private pond, gardens, apple trees, and raspberry bushes—well suited for gardening, small livestock, or hobby farm use, without being an actively operated farm. The existing layout provides excellent space for fencing, expanded gardens, or outdoor projects if desired. Approximately ±50 additional acres are available, offering opportunities for expanded agricultural use, recreation, hunting land, or enhanced privacy.  The home features 1,109 square feet of comfortable living space, highlighted by a spacious living room with French doors opening to expansive decking. Three bedrooms and multiple outdoor living areas—including a raised front deck and a large side deck with gazebo—create inviting spaces for entertaining, quiet mornings, or relaxing evenings surrounded by nature.  The lower level offers over 1,000 square feet of additional space, including an office/utility room, abundant storage, and standout wellness features such as a sauna with dressing and steam rooms. A covered patio and recreation room potential add even more versatility for gatherings, hobbies, or relaxation.  Outbuildings include a 26x30 two-car garage and a 30x45 pole barn with a 10x12 overhead door—ideal for equipment storage, workshop space, or recreational toys—along with a traditional wood-fired Finnish sauna for an authentic Up North experience.  Located just one mile from Vermilac Lake and near extensive trail systems for hunting, ATV riding, snowmobiling, hiking, and cross-country skiing, this property delivers a rare blend of space, privacy, and lifestyle flexibility—offering the very best of Upper Peninsula living with room to grow.
