Welcome to your slice of Northern Michigan paradise; this serene 20-acre parcel just outside of Honor offers the perfect blend of privacy, recreation, and possibility. Nestled just down the road from many area attractions including Platte Lake, Platte River and bordered by thousands of acres of State Land, this property is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking off-grid living or a private retreat. The land features a mix of open space and wooded terrain, home to deer, turkey, grouse, and even seasonal morel mushrooms. A small apple orchard and cherry trees add charm and attracts wildlife. An existing 448 sq. ft. shed provides immediate storage or project space. A rare bonus is the scenic Betsie Valley Trail that quietly meanders through the northern edge of the property, offering over 20 miles of biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing yet it remains well-hidden from potential building sites along the south rim of the valley, preserving your peace and privacy. With easy access to the Platte River, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and Lake Michigan, this property combines natural beauty with convenience making it an exceptional setting for a hunting cabin, Up North retreat or off grid residence.
