Property Description
Bluff-Top Lake Michigan Retreat — 136' of Private Sandy Frontage Perched on 1.5 acres atop a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, this meticulously maintained ranch home offers something increasingly rare: 136 feet of private sandy shoreline paired with sweeping west-facing water views that stretch toward Arcadia and Manistee. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a seasonal sanctuary, or a standout investment property, this home delivers on every front. Step inside to an open floor plan that makes the most of the home's spectacular setting, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and a wet bar — perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding after a day on the water. A three-season room extends the living space outward, offering an ideal spot to soak in those unforgettable sunsets over Lake Michigan in comfort. The kitchen and bathrooms have been fully renovated, featuring tiled walk-in showers and quality finishes throughout. New luxury vinyl flooring flows through the main living areas, with cozy carpeted bedrooms for added comfort. First-floor laundry adds everyday convenience, while new Andersen windows and doors flood the home with natural light. Built to last, the home is topped with a heavy-gauge metal roof and offers an attached 2-car garage. The single-story ranch layout makes for easy, comfortable living, and the move-in-ready condition means you can start enjoying lake life immediately. Despite its peaceful, nature-surrounded setting, you're just a short distance from the conveniences of downtown Frankfort's shops, dining, and marina. With local trails, world-class golf, skiing, and coastal recreation nearby there are endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors year-round. Properties with this combination of acreage, private sandy frontage, and bluff-top sunset views rarely come to market. Opportunities like this on Lake Michigan don't last.
