This high-quality, well-built and well-maintained ranch style home is tucked away in a peaceful, private setting on 12 acres completely fenced with woven wire and a solar powered entry gate. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath home was built in 2006 with energy-efficient 2x6 construction, R-24 wall insulation, and R-50 attic insulation, plus large energy-efficient windows all around to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of northern Michigan. The main level offers a primary suite with a private bath and dual walk-in closets, a spacious living room with a beautiful gas fireplace, formal dining, large pantry, and main floor laundry. The finished basement adds three bedrooms—including a second large suite with two walk-in closets—a family room with a freestanding gas fireplace, and a third bath. Ideal for hobby farming, the property includes a 30’x40’ pole barn with wood stove, 30'x60' hay barn, chicken coop with solar door, 2 goat barns, 12 acres with fenced pastures, woods, apple trees, and a large fenced garden. Excellent location only minutes away from Crystal Lake, Crystal Mountain, Betsie River, Platte River, and Benzie Central Schools!
