Property Description
Motivated Sellers! Tucked among rolling meadows, gardens, and wooded trails, this 10-acre Frankfort property offers a rare blend of country living, creative space, and modern-day homestead potential—the kind of setting that’s becoming harder to find. The 3BR/2BA farmhouse blends original character with practical updates, including updated plank flooring, restored wood floors, stainless appliances, a dining nook addition with live-edge bar, and a welcoming main-floor layout with laundry and shared ensuite bath. Natural light, custom details, and peaceful countryside views create a warm, comfortable atmosphere throughout. Outside, the property is set up for hobby farming, gardening, home business use, recreation, or simply enjoying a quieter pace of life. The fenced gardens and established landscaping include native plants, flowering perennials, herbs, grape vines, berry patches, fruit trees, and room to expand. Gardens have been organically maintained without chemical use by the current owners. Rolling meadows, wooded areas, and mowed trails provide space to roam and enjoy every season. A major highlight is the heated and insulated 30x48 pole barn with upgraded 200-amp service, water, propane heat, workshop space, and three separate finished rooms with individual heating/cooling splits—offering excellent flexibility for studio space, offices, hobbies, workshop use, guests, or additional storage. Additional outbuildings include a 28x38 traditional red barn, greenhouse with water supply, and garden shed/chicken coop with concrete floor. Located just minutes from Frankfort, Crystal Lake, Lake Michigan beaches, Betsie Valley Trail, Crystal Mountain, and Sleeping Bear Dunes, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, usability, and proximity to some of Northern Michigan’s most loved destinations.
