About This Home
Welcome to "Benzie Basecamp" - a peaceful & recently updated riverfront home on the beautiful Platte River. Enjoy it as a year round residence or Up North cottage with option to short term rent (property is a 5 star "Guest Favorite" on Airbnb with successful rental history). Plenty of room for family & friends to spread out with 3 bedrooms plus a 4th non-conforming bedroom and two bathrooms. Spacious primary ensuite with tiled walk-in shower and new vanity. Other updates throughout include new flooring and trim in main living space; paint throughout; landscaping & riverside deck. The oversized two car garage plus two sheds provide plenty of space for storing recreational toys/gear. The family room with sliding glass door leading out to the back deck overlooking the river is sure to be a popular gathering spot in any season. The gas stove creates cozy ambiance for snowy winter days (enjoy a wood burning fireplace in the living room as well!). The river on this stretch is shallow and sandy, perfect for kids to splash around. A very short wade upstream is a proven spot for catching brown trout & rainbow trout. In the spring and fall, enjoy the excitement of watching salmon & steelhead push upstream. The idyllic dirt road leads right to a nice hiking trail on public land - enjoy a short hike down to the Platte River State Forest Campground which offers additional river access points and is a nice place to go for a walk. Named "Benzie Basecamp" because the location is the perfect jumping off point for enjoying the best of Northern Michigan... 15 min to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park & Lake MI beaches; 10 minutes to the charming village of Beulah; 15 min to the village of Lake Ann; 30 min to Traverse City. Many furnishings available for purchase (fully equipped kitchen; newer Nectar mattresses + bedroom furniture; dining set) to make this a mostly move-in ready property. Seller is a licensed real estate salesperson in MI.
