This cozy & efficient home is located on five gorgeous acres a few minutes from the wonderful beach town of Frankfort, MI. The custom design was inspired by the architecture of western Michigan's lighthouses & cherry farms in the surrounding neighborhood. The rear acreage is mostly wooded, and the owners have created walking trails which total almost 3/4 of a mile in length. This part of the property is especially peaceful & natural. Lake MI, Crystal Lake, Herring Lakes, the Betsie River & the outstanding Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy trails are nearby. For snow lovers, the Crystal Mtn. Ski Resort is 14 miles away. If you have been dreaming of living in an area with a variety of year-round outdoor adventures, this is the place to be! The all-electric compact home was built in 2010 & features radiant heating in both the lower & upper level. The 2nd floor is the primary living space & features a full kitchen, bathroom & laundry area. The "great-room" layout feels spacious with an illuminated, atrium-like ceiling. The total square footage of both floors (including the upper tower room) is 1252. The deck support structure was redesigned and rebuilt in 2022. The tower & its surrounding upper deck provide relaxing views of the back acreage and currently some seasonal views of Betsie Bay. This unique, comfortable home with acreage provides a rare combination of local convenience & privacy in a semi-rural setting and is just one mile from the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. This special home will not be on the market for long!
