Overview
Description
Step onto 33.54 acres of breathtaking rolling woodlands and open, pristine grasslands at 14734 Schleweis Road, where historic character meets modernity. Built in 1861 by John English and held by only two families across its rich history, this remarkable farmstead offers an extraordinary blend of heritage and tranquility. When purchased by current owners, the home underwent a complete, top-to-bottom renovation, updating every core system—including all new wiring, plumbing, windows, mechanicals, whole house generator, modern baths, and an updated kitchen—and has been impeccably maintained ever since. Custom brick and stonework greet you at the street. As you drive up the large horse shoe drive and to the front of the estate, under the shaded canopy of mature trees, you feel like you just experienced a master class in "arriving". Spanning 2,700 square feet, the residence opens into a large, welcoming entry hall featuring a classic box bay window, situated beside a main-floor bedroom

and a formal living room adorned with original historic trim. Toward the back, a spacious eat-in kitchen sits adjacent to the laundry room and a full main-floor bathroom. The focal point of the main level is an extra-large family room anchored by a magnificent, hand-cut rock fireplace. From here, French doors open directly to a covered porch with a porch swing overlooking the peaceful tree-lined hills. Upstairs, the large primary suite features a walk-in closet and dedicated primary bathroom, while two additional bedrooms share a full Jack-and-Jill bath. Outside, ten well-preserved original outbuildings offer limitless possibilities for livestock, equestrian use, workshop spaces, or hobby farming. The diverse natural landscape is crisscrossed with private walking trails and framed by historic rows of maple trees planted over 150 years ago. Comprising two distinct parcels, the property provides the added benefit of a second buildable lot for a future guest house, barn, or separate residence. Tucked away in a serene countryside setting, this peaceful sanctuary remains exceptionally accessible, located less than 10 minutes from downtown Manchester and just a 30-minute commute to Ann Arbor, Jackson, and Adrian. Quiet, beauty, and timeless Michigan history reside here.
