A 12.87-acre custom estate in New Hudson, Michigan, anchored by a spring-fed pond and a perimeter of mature evergreens. Offered by the only owners since the original 2009 build. Presented by Derek Bauer of Real Estate One.
60675 Pontiac Trail is a custom estate on 12.87 contiguous acres in New Hudson, Michigan, offered by the only owners since the original 2009 build. The setting is the headline. A spring-fed 30-foot pond with a private dock and canoe sits behind the residence, framed by mature white pines, spruces, and red pines, with substantial open grounds extending past the water to the back of the parcel. From coffee by the water to evenings under the covered deck, the property is designed to be experienced, not just admired. A long approach drive carries the home back into the parcel, producing the kind of separation from neighboring development that simply cannot be reconstructed on a smaller lot. The aerial of the property tells the story directly: 12.87 acres of contiguous, manicured grounds with woodland edges, set distinctly apart from the surrounding subdivisions and active farmland.
The home is built around the view. Wake to the pond from a main-floor primary suite that opens directly to the deck running across the back of the home, with a Moen multi-zone shower system, jetted tub, dual-vanity bath, and 7x14 walk-in closet. The vaulted great room flows from a granite-and-tile kitchen with custom cabinetry and substantial center island, anchored by a stone fireplace, wide-plank cherry hardwood, and the kind of open sight lines that make a home of this size read as one generous, connected space. A 75-inch television and Polk Audio 5.1 surround sound system stay with the home. The cherry-paneled office is its own retreat: a fireplace and a full wall of built-in bookcases. A dedicated dog wash sits off the main-floor laundry. Solid core doors.
Three additional bedrooms occupy the upper level, including a private en-suite plus two bedrooms sharing a bath, alongside a 20-by-26-foot bonus room that flexes for media, recreation, gym, or a fifth bedroom. A main-floor laundry includes a dedicated dog wash and an adjacent locker drop zone. The 2,100+ square foot unfinished walkout basement carries soaring ceilings and the same water and field views as the main level.
The detached-feel attached workshop is a defining feature. At 15-by-23-feet with radiant heated floors on its own thermostat, dedicated 220V circuits, EV charging plugs both inside and outside, integrated dust collection and air filtration, ceiling-grade lighting, full cabinetry, workbench, and table saw, the space is professional grade and entirely turnkey. The current owner uses it for woodworking; with its dimensions and infrastructure, it has also been imagined as a future golf simulator buildout. An oversized attached garage with epoxy floors and integrated cabinetry sits alongside it.
Outside, a private dock with a canoe sits on a spring-fed pond historically stocked with bass and bluegill. The grounds carry mature white pines, spruces, red pines along the marsh edge, and a stand of producing apple trees. A 7-camera exterior surveillance system stays with the home. The property sits within an easy drive of Brighton, South Lyon, and Milford, with I-96 and US-23 corridor minutes south.
The mechanical infrastructure quietly matches the rest of the home. The build is fully electric: a closed-loop geothermal system draws from two coils submerged in the spring-fed pond and feeds three independent climate units, eliminating the need for traditional ground-loop trenching and significantly reducing the long-term operating cost. The original installation was tax-credit certified. Natural gas remains available at the road for any future owner who would prefer to run it.
