Set on 40 beautifully wooded acres, this property offers the privacy, space, and natural surroundings that outdoor enthusiasts dream about. Whether you're looking for a peaceful Up North retreat or a place to fully embrace Northern Michigan’s outdoor lifestyle, this setting delivers. Inside, the home features wood floors and an open concept living area, creating a comfortable and welcoming space to gather and relax. The lower level offers additional unfinished space, providing an opportunity for future expansion such as creating additional bedrooms, a recreation room, or extra living space tailored to your needs. Outside, the possibilities truly shine. A spacious 30 x 40 pole barn provides plenty of room for boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, and all the gear that comes with enjoying all four seasons. An additional small accessory building offers even more potential and could easily be transformed into a workshop, studio, or hobby space. Picture summer evenings gathered around a bonfire, fireflies dancing, and a sky full of stars overhead. In addition, the wooded acreage itself also presents added value. With thoughtful, selective logging, the next owner could generate additional income while maintaining the property's natural beauty. Despite the peaceful setting, you’re still close to the best of Benzie County living. Enjoy summer nights at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theatre, spend the day boating, fishing, or swimming on Platte and Crystal Lakes, or visit the sandy shores of Lake Michigan’s public beaches in Frankfort and Empire. Hundreds of acres of nearby state and national land offer hunting and hiking adventures, and nearby towns like Benzonia, Beulah, Honor, and Frankfort provide access to grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and local charm. Whether you're searching for a private getaway, an outdoor basecamp, or a property with room to grow, this wooded retreat may just be the place to make your Up North dreams a reality.
