Compact 2BR, 1BA house in sweet location that backs up to Hickory Hills with 125 acres (hiking trails, skiing) and close to downtown Traverse City. This home has been in the same family for decades and with a little bit of work this could be a great starter or investment property. 2nd BR is upstairs (decent size) Use caution on the stairs that are steep and narrow. A workshop with carport is just a couple years old plus additional parking for 3-4 cars. 2 older sheds out back (good spot for mower, snow blower or gear). Add-on to the block house is in poor condition - plus it blocks light from 2 windows so should probably be taken down. Metal roof on house done in 2020.
Est. $1,392 per month, based on comparable rentals

A
Agricultural District
The A Agricultural districts provide areas for agricultural operations and low intensity land uses. These districts are composed primarily of unsubdivided lands that are vacant or are in agricultural use with some dwellings and accessory uses. The A districts are suitable for large tracts of open space, agricultural areas, woodlands, and fields. They are designed to promote the protection of the existing natural environment and to preserve, enhance and stabilize the essential characteristics and economical value of these areas as agricultural lands. The A districts may be used to encourage development in and near the core areas of the township by limiting the development densities of parcels less suited for intensive development. The A districts may also be used to protect natural resources and environmentally sensitive areas by preserving these areas for low intensity land uses.
