Property Highlights
Outbuildings
The property includes four outbuildings in total, highlighted by two beautiful, historic timber-constructed barns built in the mid-1900s. The first barn measures 56 by 36 feet and is uniquely positioned on a hillside, allowing drive-in access to both the upper and lower levels. The tractor currently housed in this barn is negotiable with the sale.
The second barn is a 28 by 42 foot structure. Both barns feature cement floors on their lower levels and retain their original charm and character. The pontoon boat stored in this barn is also negotiable with the sale.
Situated between the two barns is a cement half basketball court—ready to be brought back to life for future games.
Just east of the attached garage is a 12 by 12 foot well house, which includes a root cellar on the lower level. Behind the home, you’ll find a 6 by 8 foot storage shed that was once used as a smokehouse.

Property Tax
This is a HUGE incentive for the new owner!! Thanks to Public Act 446 passed in 2006, upon transfer of a conservation easement property the property tax on the land remains capped. There will be no “pop-up” to the current SEV on the land, buildings however may increase in value.
Robbins Lake
Robbins Lake is 64 acres with a maximum depth of 50 feet. This is a private all sports lake. According to Fishbrain the top species in Robbins Lake is Largemouth bass, Northern pike, and Yellow perch. The lake has excellent fishing in summer and winter.
