595 Wilson Rd

Built around 1925 from fieldstone quarried on the property, this farmhouse was once the heart of a working Old Mission fruit farm. A recent renovation stripped away decades of accumulated updates to restore the home's original character: refinished hardwood floors, exposed stonework, and a layout that reflects how people actually lived on this peninsula a century ago, now with an updated kitchen, fresh paint throughout, and modern amenities across roughly 2,000 square feet. 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, central heat and AC, first-floor washer and dryer, and off-street parking behind the house. The farm grows strawberries, cherries, and stone fruit across 35 acres and hosts a bustling u-pick in June and July, so the setting is alive and working, not just scenic. The large front lawn, covered porch, and deck overlooking East Bay can easily seat 6 8 people, and the sunrise views across the water are hard to beat. The busy summer days give way to tranquil summer evenings when the u-pick closes down at 6 PM. Five minutes to downtown Traverse City and the Old Mission Peninsula School. Direct access to hiking on the farm and a quick downhill to some of the best road biking in Michigan. The farm is quiet after early evening, and the property has a small community of creative, outgoing people nearby who keep it from feeling isolated without sacrificing privacy. 12-month lease, renewable annually. Natural gas heat. Tenant responsible for gas, electric, and wifi. No smoking, no pets (non-negotiable due to the working farm).
