13955 Rattalee Lake Road in Davisburg, Michigan is a truly exceptional private estate set on nearly 25 acres of water-influenced woodland within the Shiawassee River Basin Preserve--one of Southeast Michigan's most ecologically diverse and protected regions. Known for its rare prairie fens, coldwater springs, and rich wildlife habitat, the preserve offers unmatched recreational and conservation value. This unique property sits atop a magnificent bluff with breathtaking southern-facing views from inside the home, as well as from the porches and decks, overlooking the Shiawassee Basin, the river, and scenic Long Lake. A stairway leads directly down from the home to access the Shiawassee River and a picturesque, approximately ½-acre pond that reaches depths of around 15 feet--an ideal setting for relaxing, fishing, or enjoying the peaceful sounds of flowing water. The surrounding setting offers tranquility, privacy, and a rare connection to untouched natural beauty, making it an extraordinary retreat for nature lovers, equestrians, and outdoor enthusiasts. The land is well-drained and consists primarily of loamy sand, ideal for farming, recreation, or pasture use. Approximately six acres of open tillable fields are currently planted in wildlife plots and are overlooked by a custom deer blind. Adjacent to the horse barn is a half-acre outdoor riding arena with a 5-inch sand base. Additional fenced areas include nearly two acres of pasture with high-quality pressure-treated fencing and a half-acre pen for an array of animals. The home spans approximately 2,422 square feet and offers four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Inside, you'll find a custom oak-and-granite kitchen, warm Australian cypress wood flooring, and a natural stone fireplace anchoring the spacious great room. The home has seen significant updates within the last three years, including heating, cooling, water heater, electrical, plumbing, siding, and windows--providing modern comfort and peace of mind. A full home generator ensures uninterrupted functionality year-round. Outdoor improvements add to the property's versatility. A 30×50 horse barn with electricity and water includes an attached 10×50 dog kennel with cement pad. There are two 16×20 lean-tos, and an expansive 80×50 pole barn with a 10x50 overhang featuring engineered posts, two 12×14 roll-up doors, an additional large double slider door, and two-thirds of the floor poured in 6-inch concrete with a condensation liner beneath the steel roof. In the pastures, two automatic watering tanks with built-in heaters provide convenience and comfort for livestock. A 36×14 inground pool with concrete patio complements the outdoor living experience, and an attached 1,500 square foot four-car garage offers generous storage and workspace. Wildlife including deer and turkey are frequently seen on the property, and the location offers easy access to hunting, fishing, horseback riding, canoeing, and wildlife observation throughout the property and on the surrounding preserve which a large portion of the preserve is a no hunting sanctuary.
