Property Description

Tucked back off the road on **2 private acres adjoining DNR State land with access to the Betsie River**, 5896 Betsie River Road offers the privacy and Up North lifestyle buyers are looking for—with more than **$150,000 in improvements since 2022**. This 1,800+ sq. ft. home features **2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a possible 3rd bedroom, main-floor living**, and a spacious open great room perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Major improvements include a **new roof, furnace, electrical, encapsulated crawlspace, premium flooring, fresh interior paint, solid wood doors**, and much more. A **pre-listing inspection has already been completed** and is available for review with an offer/proof of funds. The outdoor living spaces make this property especially appealing. Relax in the **5-person hot tub under its gazebo**, entertain in the **24x20 covered BBQ area** just off the dining room, gather around the separate **fire pit patio**, or enjoy the newly fenced garden areas. Mature evergreens provide additional privacy, while handcrafted **lighted flagstone pillars** welcome you up the paved driveway. A **rebuilt carriage house, storage shed, and attached 2-car garage** provide plenty of space for vehicles, tools, recreational equipment, and all your Up North toys. The private ensuite located off the garage adds even more flexibility. With **State land and Betsie River access right next door**, this Interlochen property offers a hard-to-find combination of acreage, privacy, outdoor recreation, extensive improvements, and comfortable main-floor living. **Home is available as-is, including furnishings. Possession at closing. Motivated seller—must see to appreciate everything this property has to offer!**
