Mid-Century Modern Retreat on Private 10 Acres with 1-Acre Pond & Nature Trails.

Escape to this serene, mid-century modern retreat on a private 10-acre estate featuring a 1-acre pond, lush woodland trails, and beautiful views. Guests have exclusive access to 2,300 sq ft across two light-filled levels with hardwood floors, two bathrooms, three cozy bedrooms, and a spacious work/study loft – ideal for business travelers, remote work, family vacations, romantic getaways, and nature retreats. Perfect for those seeking a peaceful and stylish retreat surrounded by nature.

MIDLAND AREA: We are located just seven minutes from downtown Midland and there are multiple recreational outdoor opportunities in the area and a number of good coffee shops, and restaurants. Frequently visited places include The Chippewa Nature Center (5 minute drive), Dow Gardens and the Canopy Walk (longest canopy walk in the US), the Piere Marquette Rail Trail, Midland Center for the Arts, Dahlia Hill garden and museum, The Loons baseball stadium, etc.

ROOMS AND FURNISHINGS: The house has a roomy main living area with comfortable seating. The three bedrooms include beds of the following sizes: a king in the master bedroom, a queen size in room 2, and a queen size bed in room 3. The dining table seats six people (8 if needed), and the bathrooms both include a tub/shower combination. A wash room with a counter for folding clothes and a washer/dryer are available for your convenience. The kitchen is furnished with custom cabinets, a full-size stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, gas stove, coffeemaker, dishes and utensils.

GARAGE PARKING: Guests will also have access to in-garage parking with two stalls if needed for inclement weather. Overflow parking is available in two paved parking areas.

ARTWORK, ARCHITECTURE, & OWNER: The home is full of artwork and photography, created by the owner and host, Clark Most. Clark is a graphic designer, photographer-artist and architectural enthusiast who designed and built the home in 2006-2007, and you can learn about some of his work with a simple search on your computer.

INTERACTION WITH OWNER: Clark, the property owner, is often out of town. When he is in town, he may access the lower level, which is completely separate from the upper level and has its own entrance. He also has another nearby home where he often stays. Clark respects your privacy and will avoid contact unless initiated by you. If you do need to reach him for any reason, he is happy to help.

Most guests never meet Clark, but he is always glad to say hello and enjoys chatting if you’re interested.

Sister getaway
My 3 sisters and I stayed at Clark’s beautifully designed mid-century modern style home. Unbelievable amount of space and so well maintained. Felt so accommodating with large bedrooms and closet space. With 4 women the 2 full bathrooms were very much appreciated. And not only was the interior of the property beautiful but the grounds were also. We sat at the large dining table in the mornings and watched the deer come into the yard near the quiet pond and woods. Clark was so friendly and amiable to work with. We were all so happy with our stay in Midland. Not far from several really great restaurants and the Dow Gardens and Chippewa Nature Preserve. Both beautiful walks. Highly recommend this or other Clark Most vacation locations.

Stunning!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! There are not enough words to describe the architecture of the house. It is so beautifully decorated, the art throughout the house is incredible. The ambiance of this house made us feel so secluded, even though we were minutes from town. The host was easy to communicate with
