Sunny 1-acre homestead is in a country setting southeast of Crystal Lake in Benzonia. Everything is on one convenient floor in this newly built 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch-style home with an oversized, attached, insulated and finished garage. Features include an open floor plan for the living room, dining room, and kitchen; a primary bedroom suite with a tiled shower and a walk-in closet; a bright kitchen with hickory cabinets and new stainless appliances; luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout; mini splits for energy efficient, zoned heating/cooling, and a backyard patio for stargazing, watching for wildlife, and enjoying quiet evenings. Give in to your gardening bug and design and plant your flowerbeds and veggies, install some landscaping, and attract sun-loving birds and butterflies. The location near Beulah and Benzonia--with a Crystal Lake beach and access to swimming and boating, the miles-long Betsie Valley hiking/bicycling trails, multiple golf courses, popular dining establishments, and a variety of shops and services—makes this spot desirable on so many levels. From here, it’s a quick drive to Crystal Mountain for skiing, golfing and outdoor concert-going, and to Frankfort and Lake Michigan for big water beaches and marinas, movies, breweries, art galleries, one-of-a-kind shops, dining and more. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park begins a few miles to the north via M-22. The home is currently rented month to month.
