Property Description

Perched atop 9.53 picturesque acres overlooking a serene valley and the charming city of Frankfort, this beautifully crafted 3,122 square foot custom home (built in 1997) offers privacy, space, and breathtaking views in every season. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, this thoughtfully designed home blends quality craftsmanship with everyday comfort. Rich hardwood floors and Andersen windows fill the interior with natural light while framing the surrounding hillside landscape. The spacious layout offers generous living and entertaining areas, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The large walkout basement expands the home’s versatility, complete with a kitchenette, additional bedroom, and full bathroom — ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or private retreat space. Step outside onto the expansive deck and take in Lake Michigan views — perfect for morning coffee or sunset evenings. A 2-car attached garage adds convenience, while the impressive 40x45 pole barn provides exceptional space for storage, recreational equipment, hobbies, or workshop needs. Enjoy biking distance access to nearby beaches including Frankfort Beach and Point Betsie. Crystal Lake and Crystal Mountain are just a short drive away, offering year-round recreation. Outdoor adventure awaits — kayak the Betsie River, witness the fall salmon runs in the Betsie and Platte Rivers, explore Sleeping Bear Dunes, or take a scenic drive along M-22. Frankfort’s downtown dining and shopping are just minutes away. Additional opportunity: An adjacent 9.94 acre parcel is available for purchase for $250,000.
