About 2580 E Bellinger Road
Welcome to 2580 E Bellinger Road — a truly whimsical and one-of-a-kind retreat tucked among 40 acres of cedar and hardwood forest in beautiful Cedar, Michigan. Here, nature and imagination meet in perfect harmony. A meandering river flows throughout the property, feeding a scenic pond with a dock, water fountain, and peaceful seating areas. Nearby, a water wheel turns with the river’s current, and a moaning windmill adds a touch of rustic charm to the landscape. Set out your outdoor furniture and spend lazy afternoons fishing, taking a refreshing dip, or simply soaking in the tranquility. At the heart of the property stands a Cedar shake home with copper roof accents, designed with craftsmanship and character. Inside, you’ll find two kitchens and two bathrooms, offering flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or creative spaces. The upper level evokes a warm, nostalgic feel — featuring a rooster-nest ceiling, deer-carved trim, and a boat-like design surrounded by windows that fill the space with natural light and views of the treetops. A new cozy cabin by the pond provides additional living or studio space, complete with electricity and a mini-split heating system — perfect for meditation, morning coffee, or evenings by the water. The property also includes future plans for an 80x30 garage/barn and room for home additions, offering the flexibility to expand or enhance this remarkable setting. Wildlife is abundant, making it a haven for hunters, birdwatchers, and nature lovers alike. Every detail of this property tells a story — from the flowing river to the handcrafted architecture — creating a mystical Northern Michigan sanctuary unlike any other, a must see property. By appointment only.
