This 2008-new 1600 s.f. cottage home sits on a 3 acre lot in a park-like setting near Frankfort-Elberta and Lake Michigan (2.3 miles), Crystal lake boat launches and beach 1.3 miles), Betsy River game refuge, river and trails (1.2 miles), and nearby to Sleeping Bear Dunes and other attractions.

The home is a super-insulated with low utilities and is accessible (ramps, walk-in shower). The newly painted interior and tinted concrete floor is ready for a personal touch. The private well and septic were both inspected by the county in August. The circular drive and yard is over-flowing with fruit and flowering bushes, an apple tree, and awesome plants and spices planted by an avid nature lover. This home would make a good vacation getaway, starter home, summer rental, or a builder's dream with more than a 10,000 s.f of ready-to-build clearing. Generous space around the building means you can easily expand or landscape for little cost. This super-insulated wonder was built for a long-time Alaskan to Alaska standards and is a one-of-a-kind find in this area. Features include: 12" thick walls with dense pack cellulose walls up to R45. Double wall construction (little continuous wood from inside to outside boosts the R value) High performance air sealing (the blower door tester said it was the tightest house he'd ever tested). HRV Heat Recovery Ventilator is installed. High performance wood double pane windows with low-e coating and argon filled. Insulated ICF stem wall and a slab on SIX inches of foam In-slab radiant heat heated by a simple 500 dollar hot water heater. The average electric cost was around 180/month for all electricity: range, dryer, lights, AND electric heating. No air conditioning is required due to a tight building with high R value and solar shading. The heating system is maintenance-free. Construction drawings and photos are available.
