Kick back, relax, and let the river take reality away... This "Up North Hide-Away" sits on 3.19 acres of pristine land on the Betsie River. With 356.4 feet of frontage, this sandy bottom parcel offers a slice of heaven! The name "Betsie" comes from the French Riviere Aux Bec Scies, or "River of sawbill ducks" (bec-scie). The Betsie is a 54-mile river which lies mostly within Benzie County (which takes its name from a similar pronunciation). It winds southwesterly from Green Lake in Grand Traverse county into eastern Benzie County, then flows briefly into northern Manistee County before turning northerly to return to Benzie County before it spills into Lake Michigan. This specific section of the Betsie flows through low, rolling, forested hills and plains, with a gentle mix of ferns, raspberries, strawberries, and forget-me-nots. There are over 40 species of plant life. Deer and mink are abundant here. The entire river can be traversed by canoeing, kayaking, and tubing with a moderate-to-fast current. Crystal Mountain ski resort and snowmobile trails are situated nearby making this is also a perfect Winter Wonderland escape. Fishing on the Betsie is excellent for steelhead, Salmon, and Brown Trout. The Betsie River Access Site and biking trail is just down the river about a mile. This beautiful parcel sits adjacent to the Michigan Nature Association which is protected from further building. Come and experience river life at its finest!
