In Almont Township, 3.5 acres support a micro-flower farm lifestyle, complete with fenced raised beds, irrigated rows, and a 40×60 pole barn with 220V service, all anchored by a rebuilt historic schoolhouse. In Pentwater, cottage living unfolds with lake views and easy access to marinas, downtown, and the beach.

Down a blacktop drive in Almont Township, this rebuilt historic schoolhouse sits on 3.5 acres shaped for hands-on living. Fenced raised-bed gardens and irrigated row gardens have supported a thriving micro flower farm, complete with a roadside stand, while a 40×60 pole barn with 220V service lends itself to metalwork, woodworking, or business operations. Inside, an open kitchen pairs newer appliances with hickory cabinetry, and the great room is filled with natural light beneath a vaulted ceiling framed by exposed wood beams. Practical comforts include a first-floor bedroom, full bath, laundry, and an indoor under-stair dog kennel. A primary bedroom loft adds a walk-in closet and half bath, and the remodeled full basement introduces a third bedroom and office. Outside, an expansive deck overlooks a chain-link fenced backyard, with extra parking for RVs or trailers.
