Wind through the woods to a gorgeous waterfront log home overlooking the clear, blue-green waters of Long Lake in Benzie County. This like-new 3 bedroom, 2 bath with two garages is the perfect combination of log craftsmanship and knotty pine coziness, tucked in the forested hills adjacent to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Enjoy sandy-bottom swimming. Pontoon, paddle, sail or fish from your 165 ft. waterfront. Spot wildlife passing through this private, peaceful, wooded 1.5 acres. From the covered back deck, you can sip coffee as you watch sunrises and seasons change beyond the lake. Birdwatching includes sightings of eagles, loons, kingfishers, herons and egrets. Built with full logs, the home’s interior features knotty pine and log accents, a cathedral ceiling with skylights, an authentic stone fireplace with woodstove insert, hickory kitchen cabinets, carpeted bedrooms, tiled floors, AC and high-speed fiber for internet/TV. The third bedroom is a large loft, and the main bath was recently remodeled to include a walk-in, tiled shower. Find a game room, bath and laundry/utility room in the lower walk-out level. Follow the paved driveway and park your cars in the insulated, heated, and finished 2-car garage under the home. Beside both is custom stone landscaping. Work or store gear in a 24×24 detached log-sided garage w/attic storage. This beautiful lake setting is across the road from National Lakeshore hiking and xc skiing trails. The sellers’ fav restaurant is 50 yards from the house. It’s an easy drive along M-22 to the Platte River to fish and tube, and to rockhound at the rivermouth. Pull your boat to nearby Crystal Lake for supersized fish. Head south to Beulah and Frankfort to visit beaches, shop, dine, watch movies, gallery hop and sample microbrews.
