An accessible entry point into one of Benzie County's most sought-after townships, these five acres of quiet hardwood and evergreen woodland, tucked into the rolling terrain of Crystal Lake Township - yet just minutes from the boutique shops, restaurants, and marina of downtown Frankfort and the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. Gently elevated topography creates a natural building pad with partial views across the Betsie Bay Valley, where the light shifts beautifully through every season. Mature trees provide privacy and character from day one. Access is via a deeded private road easement, and utilities - gas, electric, and fiber - are available at the Carlson Road entrance, ready to be extended to the site. Well and septic will be required. Whether you're envisioning a weekend retreat, a full-time residence, or a legacy property to hold for generations, this parcel offers the rare combination of genuine seclusion and real-world convenience. And if your vision is larger, this is one of three adjacent lots available - an opportunity to assemble up to 15 contiguous acres in one of Benzie County's most scenic townships. Come walk the land. The setting speaks for itself.
