About this property

Custom family house with woodland views now available on the lower bluffs at the Lake Bluff Preserve. Great room encompasses the open living, dining, kitchen areas. Vaulted ceilings with beautiful tongue & groove finishes beg for your attention. Two bedroom suites are available on the main with sleeping for 6.

The Frankfort area is home to a deep water marina, the Stormcloud Brewery, Pointe Betsie Lighthouse, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Courses, wine tours, skiing at Crystal Mountain and you don't need to leave our property to hike, mountain bike and explore the dune and forests. Snowshoeing and cross country skiing can be enjoyed from your front door in the Winter. Crystal and Platte Lakes and the Betsie and Platte rivers provide sportsmen with fishing, kayaking, tubing and swimming with many gear rental businesses in the area.
Watch sunsets, bald eagles, whitetail deer, monarch butterflies and other native species from the comfort of your deck.

**Due to high water and erosion on Lake Michigan, we have closed the stairs down the Bluff. If you wish to spend time on the beach, we recommend the Frankfort Public Beach or any of the public beaches on Crystal Lake. We hope to reopen the stairs as soon as mother nature allows us.**

Very close proximity to M-22 makes Lake Bluff Preserve a great rally point for car and motorcycle touring clubs, wine tourists, retreats and reunions, golfers and anyone who wants a to behold the beauty of Lake Michigan and the Third Coast. Less than an hour to Traverse City, Leland, Arcadia Bluffs and Crystal Mountain.
