Midland Lodge Retreat - Relax and Explore Nature
I am selling my home and created this page to promote.
The Lodge
Overview
Tucked away at the end of a quiet drive, this private Pine River retreat offers a rare combination of space, water frontage, and natural beauty just minutes from town.
Set on nearly two acres with approximately 279 feet of private river frontage, the property is bordered by mature trees and adjacent nature preserve, creating a peaceful setting with exceptional privacy.
This custom built home is thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with generous room sizes, abundant natural light, and views of the river and surrounding landscape throughout.
The main living spaces flow easily, offering flexibility for gatherings large or small, while the home’s layout allows for both connection and separation when desired.
Outdoor living is a standout feature, with expansive river views, room to relax, explore, or simply enjoy the changing seasons and wildlife along the water. The key benefit of this home is the privacy. You will see no neighbors and enjoy an unobstructed view of the water, filled with natural wildlife. From bald eagles, deer, turkeys, foxes, even the occasional bobcat. The river is a natural pathway for the birds and animals that will travel while you watch from the living room.
This is not a typical subdivision home — it’s a setting that’s increasingly difficult to find: acreage, water, and privacy, all within Midland. A unique opportunity for buyers seeking a long-term home, a retreat-like setting, or a place to slow down without giving up convenience.
This home could easily be used as an "up north" getaway for those living near Detroit. It's perfect for family vacations and blended families who want both privacy and togetherness.

From Birmingham, Rochester, or Bloomfield Hills, you can head north after work and be sitting by the fire before dark.
Midland offers the peace, privacy, and pine-scented air of northern Michigan — along with great restaurants, art, and entertainment when you want them.
Just a few hours north, 799 S Midnight Pass in Midland, MI, offers all the serenity, space, and rustic beauty of “Up North” living — without having to cross the bridge or fight weekend traffic.
This is more than a home. It’s a lodge, a retreat, and a gathering place — perfect for family getaways, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone ready to slow down and reconnect with nature.
