Property Description

There are properties you buy, and there are properties you become part of. The Vanderhagen Homestead — 40 acres of rolling pasture, producing orchards, private vineyard, natural spring, and Welch Creek trout fishing — has defined this land since 1920. The 3-story classic brick farmhouse opens through a formal foyer and original French doors into a main floor made for gathering and everyday life. The open living and dining space flows into a commercial-style eat-in kitchen with storage that will impress even the most dedicated cook. A bonus room/office and main floor bath are tucked conveniently off the foyer. A library/sunroom off the north side of the living room connects directly to the composite back deck and sauna building, which has its own sitting room and changing area. Four bedrooms on the second floor share a full bath with claw foot tub and shower. The master bedroom has an attached sitting room — the kind of space you’ll look forward to at the end of a long day. The third floor offers open bonus space perfect for a studio, recreation room, or guest overflow. The basement features original stone walls and a root cellar alongside a supplemental wood-burning furnace and laundry. The north orchard and mature maple row frame the home. The back orchard produces apples, cider apples, cherries, plums, and pears, and a separate vineyard completes a property with real agricultural bones. A year-round natural spring on the property runs even through a UP winter. Welch Creek runs through the lower corner. The 120’ two-story barn — once home to the Silver Leaf Dairy herd — features 3 silos, new electric panel, hay loft, and workshop. A detached 2-car garage and 100’x36’ steel frame commercial building with cement floor are ready for storage, equipment, business, or events. Minutes to Ironwood, Big Powderhorn, Lake Superior, UTV and snowmobile trails, and the Porcupine Mountains. The Vanderhagen Homestead is ready for its next chapter — is it yours?
