Build your home or getaway on 9.5 acres adjoining state land, which leads to Big Platte Lake access. West of Honor, this location offers electric and cable service along the paved county road. The parcel is in the country yet just one mile to US-31 for an easy jaunt to Honor and Beulah. Partly wooded with conifers and deciduous trees, the acreage includes several nice spots where a home or cottage could be sited. Some lowlands make for great wildlife watching and hunting. Also nearby are a Big Platte Lake boat launch for water sports and the iconic Cherry Bowl Drive-In movie theater offering summer films. Platte Road leads to M-22 and miles of National Lakeshore recreational property as well as the bustling Lake Michigan town of Frankfort. Outdoor activities in the area include paddling, hiking, tubing, fishing, boating, sailing, birdwatching, beachcombing and cross-country skiing. Several golf courses and downhill skiing at Crystal Mountain are a short drive away. This size acreage so close to state and federal land has been the dream of buyers for the 30-plus years I have been in real estate. Not many like this one become available.
