About this home
Set on over 8 acres in Joyfield Township, this property offers a rare combination of structure, land, and flexibility that is difficult to replicate in Benzie County. At the center is a historic Gambrel barn, timber-framed with hand-hewn mortise and tenon joinery and oak pegs. The structure has been preserved while key foundational work has already been completed, including a restored stone foundation, new AdvanTech engineered subfloor, freshly poured garage and insulated basement floors, and a newly installed gravel driveway. This is not a finished home. It’s a project with a substantial head start. Architectural plans by a Northern Michigan-based architect outline a 3–4 bedroom, 3.5 bath residence across three levels, including a walkout lower level and elevated main living area. Those plans are available, but not required. The structure and site support multiple paths forward. The setting adds another layer. A mix of hardwood forest and open pasture creates usable space without sacrificing privacy. Proximity to Crystal Lake, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club, Crystal Mountain, and downtown Frankfort keeps the property connected to some of the region’s most established destinations while remaining outside of higher-density areas. Joyfield Township is known for allowing a wider range of use compared to more restrictive areas nearby. Buyers considering a primary residence, seasonal use, or a mixed-use concept should verify their intended use with the township, but the flexibility here is part of what makes the property distinct. This is a fit for buyers who want to shape the final outcome rather than purchase something finished. Showings by appointment only. Please respect neighboring properties....
