Set along a quiet road on 11 acres in Chelsea, this exceptional Historic Cobblestone Farmhouse Estate blends timeless character, thoughtful modern updates, and the rare lifestyle appeal of a beautifully maintained country property just a short drive from Ann Arbor. Built with rich architectural detail and enduring craftsmanship, the home offers the warmth and charm of a historic farmhouse while providing the comfort, efficiency, and flexibility expected for modern living. The main residence features 4,420 square feet of living space filled with original features and carefully preserved details, including solid two-panel doors, tall ceilings, original exposed beams, wide plank floors, vintage kitchen cubbies, extensive built-ins, and walk-in closets throughout the bedrooms and bathrooms. The renovated kitchen anchors the home with updated cabinetry, countertops, refinished floors, exposed beams, and a butler's pantry just off the kitchen. The first-floor primary suite includes a beautifully renovated bath with heated floors, double vanities, and a large shower with a Euro glass door. The 1st floor also includes a 2nd full bath, a large office or 2nd bedroom, and a comfortable dining/family room. The Carriage House Wing creates a dramatic gathering space with a Napoleon woodstove set in a stone fireplace, double-volume ceilings, a quaint loft office with custom built-ins, handmade tin chandelier and sconces, and a practical fully enclosed lean-to that functions beautifully as a mudroom and winter wood-storage area. The 2nd level features 3 generous bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and laundry room, while the 3rd floor offers a large flex space and additional storage. Throughout the home, custom-fitted interior glass storm windows improve efficiency while preserving the beauty of the original windows. Year around comfort is provided by a geothermal HVAC system. The exterior is just as notable, with excellent stonework, copper gutters, functional lightning rods, architectural woodwork on the expansive front porch, and a well-maintained white picket fence. Mature maple trees frame the property with exceptional fall color, while established gardens offer flowering varieties throughout the seasons. The land invites a slower, more connected way of living: a native wildflower prairie with maintained walking paths, a shaded picnic spot with fire pit, an enclosed raised-bed kitchen garden, fruit trees & blueberry bushes, a clothesline for crisp linens, and a large fenced area currently used as a dog run. A secondary driveway with a quaint lane adds character and convenient access to the Guest Cottage. Set next to the main house, the Guest Cottage provides a welcoming and private space for visitors, extended family, creative use, or retreat-style living. It features a large porch, full bathroom, four-season heating (propane) and cooling, a kitchenette, Hunter Douglas blinds for privacy, exposed oak beams, tall ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. A truly distinctive feature of the property, the Pizza Studio is designed for memorable entertaining and hands-on culinary experiences. The commercial wood-fired Forno Bravo pizza oven is ideal for making pizzas, roasting meats, baking breads, canning, sausage making, and gathering with friends and family. With ample room for food prep, a large walk-in pantry, a full bathroom with walk-in shower, and indoor-outdoor flow for large groups, this space turns entertaining into an experience and includes four season heating (propane) and cooling. The property includes additional useful and charming outbuildings, including a Big Red Barn, Workshop (where sellers park a vehicle), Milk Room, and Chicken Coop. These spaces support a wide range of lifestyle uses, from storage and hobbies to gardening, animals and workshop projects. The big red barn has a newer roof and roof decking, a recent structural inspection, electrical panel and lighting, and water point in the barn basement. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises, sunsets and starlit night skies from this magical property - you will not be disappointed!
