Land with Home for Sale in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Set on 3.9 park-like acres in Scio Township, this exceptional custom French country estate designed by DeHaan Homes offers a rare blend of elegance, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. Mature trees, meticulous hardscaping, and a private pond with a sandy beach brought in from Lake Michigan's sand dunes create a setting of unmatched serenity. With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a 3-car attached garage, every detail reflects an uncompromising standard of quality. The main living areas set an immediate tone of grandeur. A two-story foyer, capped by a walnut planked and beamed cathedral ceiling with a striking catwalk above, leads into a great room defined by a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace. Arched transom sliding doors and skylights fitted with automatic shades draw natural light throughout, while balcony access extends the living space outward to sweeping views of the grounds. The adjacent dining room, anchored by a built-in china cabinet, flows to a covered porch outfitted for entertaining-complete with an outdoor kitchen featuring hammered copper doors, granite counters, a built-in grill, sink, refrigerator, and a stone fireplace of its own. At the heart of the home, the French country kitchen balances warmth and sophistication: creamy white Fieldstone cabinetry pairs with granite countertops and a contrasting wood-tone island fitted with a prep sink, while professional-grade Viking appliances and a walk-in pantry support both everyday living and serious entertaining. The first-floor primary suite serves as a private retreat, with a bay window, direct patio access, and an ensuite bath built for relaxation-featuring a walk-in shower with rainhead and bench, dual vanities, built-in storage, two walk-in closets, and a spa tub positioned to take in pond views. Upstairs, the showpiece of the level is a substantial library with a wet bar and private balcony-an ideal command center for the professional who works from home. Anchored off the library, a massive bedroom suite with its own dedicated sitting area offers a seamless retreat. On the opposite side of the catwalk, two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bath. The fully finished walkout basement expands the home's living space considerably, with bamboo flooring, a family room warmed by a second limestone gas/woodburning fireplace, a kitchen/bar equipped with a fridge and drawer dishwasher, a dedicated wine cellar, and a private guest bedroom with full bath. This magnificent home uses geothermal heating and cooling, offers 2 new furnaces with steam humidifiers, new well pump with control panel, and new water heater. Outdoors, the grounds are as considered as the interior: terraced gardens, bluestone patios, a firepit, professional landscape lighting, and a finished loft playhouse/storage shed surround the 15 ft deep pond and its private beach, creating a setting suited to both quiet mornings and evening gatherings.
