Welcome to the ''Hawks Hilton''--an extraordinary Northern Michigan estate where comfort, privacy, and year-round recreation come together on one remarkable property. Located just outside the quiet town of Hawks, this historic homestead has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully remodeled, creating the perfect full-time residence, hunting lodge, or family retreat.
Purchased in 2012, the home has seen numerous improvements over the years, including a remodeled interior, some new windows, updated siding, roofing, flooring, furnace, central air conditioning, and many other upgrades. The result is a home that blends historic character with modern comfort while maintaining its original charm.
Offering over 2,600 square feet of living space, the home features 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, and generous living spaces designed to comfortably accommodate family and friends.
Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. A large barn and two additional outbuildings provide abundant storage for tractors, ATVs, boats, hunting gear, and all your outdoor equipment.
Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the incredible landscape. The property features three ponds--up to 14 feet deep--connected by two winding rivers, creating a scenic setting that's as beautiful as it is functional. The ponds are home to bluegill and largemouth bass, providing a peaceful place to spend an afternoon fishing without ever leaving your property.
The land has been carefully managed for wildlife and recreation, offering multiple apple trees, productive gardens, established food plots, and an extensive trail system that meanders throughout the property. Every corner has been designed to maximize the enjoyment of Northern Michigan's great outdoors.
For hunters, this property is truly exceptional. It has a long history of producing mature whitetail deer, with multiple hunting blinds already in place and plenty of room to expand. The lower level even includes a bunkhouse area, making it the perfect setup for hunting weekends with family and friends.
Properties like the "Hawks Hilton" rarely become available. Whether you're looking for a private hunting retreat, a recreational getaway, or a spacious country home surrounded by nature, this property offers a rare combination of comfortable living, outstanding wildlife habitat, private fishing ponds, and room to enjoy everything Northern Michigan has to offer.
