Waterfront lot on Long Lake in Benzie County offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity and setting on 1.5 acres. Prepare to enjoy 134 feet private all-sports frontage plus spectacular views of the lake and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Build a staircase to the lake from this homesite on the bluff and get ready for sandy bottom swimming, sailing, paddling, paddleboarding and fishing. Launch your pontoon or bring your lake toys. Long Lake is Benzie County’s best kept secret, a hidden gem next to Lake Michigan and the National Lakeshore, which includes hiking trails, boat access to nearby Loon Lake and a canoe/kayak livery on the Platte River. Long Lake is also home to nesting loons and eagles which provide hours of delightful birdwatching. This lot lends itself to a walkout design and is near the end of the road for quiet and privacy. BONUS: You can hike on 154 acres of nearby conservancy land. The property is equidistant to Beulah, Benzonia and Frankfort. Together, they offer shopping, dining, moviegoing, gallery hopping and wine/beer/spirits tastings. Hop on the Betsie Valley Trail for bicycling from Frankfort or Beulah to Thompsonville. Look to Crystal Mountain resort in Thompsonville for downhill and cross-country skiing, dining and relaxing at the spa.
