Nearly 10 acres. Just minutes from downtown Traverse City. Imagine what you could do here. Opportunities like this are hard to duplicate—a comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch set on 9.94 private acres, yet only about five minutes from downtown Traverse City, Munson Medical Center, Grand Traverse Bay, shopping, dining and recreation.

The approximately 2,000-square-foot home offers an easy one-level layout with spacious living areas, fresh interior paint and updated flooring. The kitchen features granite countertops, a butcher-block island, pantry and breakfast nook, with a separate dining area and comfortable family room.

Outside, nearly 10 acres give you room to spread out, explore the woods, enjoy the open areas, create gardens, let the dogs roam in the fenced pet area or simply sit back and enjoy the quiet. The covered porch and deck provide additional outdoor living space, while the private setting and dark skies add to the Up North feel. This property isn't about having the newest finishes—it's about having something you can't easily create: nearly 10 acres of privacy in a location this close to Traverse City.
