Showings begin Saturday, July 5th. Historic Schoolhouse perched high on a pristine acre of mature maples and towering pines, this remarkable, almost 100-year-old, brick schoolhouse has been lovingly transformed into an extraordinary 2+ bedroom Northern Michigan retreat. Located in the heart of Hayes Township, Charlevoix, this meticulously renovated property seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort while honoring its educational heritage. The schoolhouse’s original character has been thoughtfully preserved throughout the renovation process. Students’ signatures, carefully maintained on original window trim, serve as charming reminders of the building’s storied past as a cornerstone of the community’s educational history. The expansive original schoolhouse windows flood the interior with incredible natural light, creating an atmosphere that transforms the main living space into something resembling an art gallery with its soaring high ceilings and luminous ambiance. This unique property offers the perfect balance of accessibility and seclusion. While conveniently located near the charming communities of Petoskey and Charlevoix, the schoolhouse maintains its own sense of tranquil isolation—a true Northern Michigan oasis. From its elevated vantage point, enjoy sweeping views across rolling farmland and vineyards that stretch toward the horizon, creating a pastoral panorama that changes beautifully with the seasons. The beautifully landscaped yard complements the property’s natural setting, where mature trees provide privacy and stunning seasonal displays. The thoughtful landscaping creates outdoor spaces that feel both cultivated and naturally integrated with the surrounding environment. A Living Piece of History. This isn’t simply a renovated building—it’s a carefully preserved piece of Michigan’s educational and architectural heritage, transformed into a beautiful home that respects its past while embracing contemporary living.`
