Wood-sided house and two-story garage...Bring your renovation ideas and toolkit to this three bedroom A-frame home and garage on 30 acres in north Benzie County, in a fantastic country location. This true handyman special is surrounded by hardwoods but has some countryside views and an open yard for gardening, playtime and barbecues. You cannot beat the location near thousands of state land acres and trails. And its only a few miles to Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park. Wood-sided house and two-story garage have new metal roofs but need to be stripped to the studs in places and finished on the inside. Lots of living space here with two bathrooms, a full basement, and a 16x30 addition in back with basement – the perfect design for a music/art studio or sunroom, guest quarters or mother-in-law apt. Features include a brick-surround fireplace wall, multiple windows and an updated well. This kind of acreage for sale is getting harder to find, especially west of County Rd 677. Get a head start on home ownership with a roof over your head, power, running water and LOTS of potential.
