The Best of Up-North Living
Imagine the rhythmic clip-clop of Amish buggy horses on the road outside your window. Softly lapping waves of a scenic lake that borders your own backyard. Tree-lined back-country roads, winding trout streams, fields, forests, and farms, rolling golf courses, friendly small towns. With easy freeway access to big city shopping, entertainment and sports that are all just “close enough.” That’s life up here. And it can be yours – whether you are looking for a ”weekend getaway,” a restful family home base or a good place to retire.
