Set on 8 acres, this pristine and newly renovated property offers a spacious open floor plan, surrounded by a variety of trees and 600 ft. of private river frontage. The Betsie River is known for its steelhead and salmon along with trout fishing. Walk the scenic short trail down to the low part of our river frontage where you can easily walk right into the Betsie to fish, play or launch a kayak/canoe/tube. No dock needed and safe for all ages. There is also a sitting area down there to relax and watch the wildlife, plus a 2nd firepit. Not uncommon to see deer, owls, turtles, eagles, wild turkeys, beavers and other wildlife on the property.

The home offers all the comforts of home and plenty of windows to provide natural light and stunning views from any angle. Two large sliders provide easy access to the enormous outside patio & firepit overlooking the river with plenty of seating.

Only three miles from the premier Crystal Mountain Resort and Spa and the Crystal Mountain Market. You can ski, golf, bike, hike, swim or take in one of many outdoor activities. The popular Iron Fish Distillery is 3/4 of a mile from the house and is walkable. The home is situated in an idyllic location, being close to Traverse City, Frankfort, Glen Arbor, Beulah, Little River Casino, Crystal Lake, Glen Lake, Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park and Lakeshore.
