This well built home situated on a 5 acre parcel with undeveloped land surrounding it is in a prime location.  Close to Cascade- Ada shopping and amenities but in a rural setting, this 4 bedroom two story has a great floor plan.  Three bedrooms  and a full bath upstairs, the main level has a master suite with cathedral ceilings, bay window, private bath, and walk in closet.  The main living area has an open floor plan with kitchen, dining, family room all adjacent and open to each other.  The living room has a separate entrance to the front porch, so it could be used as a home office.  The back mud room, utility room and full bath are  just off the kitchen and 2 stall oversized garage. The rolling wooded hills and privacy are a premier asset, but the owners have added a 28 x 32 Storage ...

When you live in a cold climate, the winters are long. We find our amusements in our backyard. We have a feeder for the birds. We enjoy watching them up close.   We have several other neighbors who like our feeder, too.  They are always looking for a free lunch, free breakfast, free snack. It becomes a part time job to keep them away from the black gold known as sunflower seeds.   If startled, the moochers will fly into the air and land with a thud!  It is about 14 feet to the ground. We will show “The Moocher” in his dare-devil Olympic Class maneuvers……   The Time Trials Begin: How fast can we chase him away? A few more Seeds before the Actual Events Begin. Checking out the competition. Hang Time. The Clock Starts. Slippery Conditions on the Vertical Planes. Great Footwork. Great Form...

 Ada Michigan is fortunate to have started a local Farmer's Market this year in the parking lot of the Ada Community Reformed Church on Thornapple River Dr in downtown Ada.  We have been several times buying gorgeous produce from local farmers.  The tables were piled high with radishes, tomatoes, blueberries, black cherries, lettuce, spinach, onions, and the first crop of peaches and plums. It is so difficult to decide......it all looks so good. Should I get a bushel of cukes to put up as relish or wait to see if my vines produce enough?  I did buy a dozen eggs (cage free), lettuce, spinach, tomatillos, blueberries, and black cherries.   The cut flowers and potted plants are a real temptation for  me but I don't want to water them daily right now.  Which is exactly what I would have to ...

The Ada area growth trends remain strong. Ada Township planner, Jim Ferro states that the Ada population has grown by 20% since 2000. There is a new proposed 80 unit condo site - Villas of Ada and Stone Falls of Ada - a 210 unit apartment complex, currently  under construction here. Both of these new developments are quite  close to Adacroft Commons.                    Adacroft Commons Real Estate                    May  2009 Market Report                   2 Sold, 1 For Sale, 0 Expired Adacroft Commons Active Listings: 1 Adacroft Commons Active Price - $189,900 Adacroft Commons Active Price/SqFt - $94.38 Adacroft Commons Active Days on Market -12 Adacroft Commons SOLD Listings: 2 Adacroft Commons average sold price - $ 187,00 Adacroft Commons average sold price/SqFt - $95.99 Adacroft C...
