The yurt style home features a spacious Great Room with kitchen, dining and living combined. Hallway leads to primary bedroom and bath. The walkout lower level has additional living space / bedroom and bath – storage and laundry room. The detached oversized garage has a furnished apartment with full kitchen. Groomed marked trails begin at the house. First stop is the scenic overlook of the valley below – then down into the woods and fields. Cold Creek originates on this property and the Betsie Valley Trail cuts thru for miles of biking and walking. Beginning just this year, has been used as a vacation rental. Has great potential. Seller is offering “turn-key†vrbo with all furnishings. Property lends itself to other uses – it is zoned RP 2.5 acre minimum with a variety of building sites. Splits are available. Or, could be used for farming, campground... Very private but close to everything – less than 2 miles to Beulah/Benzonia, Crystal Lake, Betsie River. Just a little farther to Frankfort and Lake Michigan and Crystal Mountain in the other direction.
