This 47+ acre Benzonia Township property offers a rare blend of privacy, recreation, wildlife habitat, and long-term conservation protection. Gently rolling terrain, young aspen forest, and a small open meadow near the southwest corner create a beautiful setting for hunting, hiking, trail building, quiet camping, and future use. The entire northern boundary runs along the Betsie Valley Trail, giving the property a unique connection to one of the area's favorite pedestrian and biking routes linking Frankfort to Thompsonville. Located within the Betsie River watershed, the land is part of a larger connected forested landscape that supports wildlife movement, habitat diversity, and the natural beauty of Benzie County. Currently known as Love Forest, the property features early successional forest that provides excellent habitat for ruffed grouse, woodcock, white-tailed deer, and other wildlife. Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy purchased the property to ensure its permanent protection and is now offering it for sale subject to a conservation easement. The easement allows for private recreational ownership while protecting the land's ecological and scenic values for generations to come. Permitted uses include a future 2-acre building site, within which the owner may establish a 1-acre building envelope, allowing for one residence and up to three accessory structures. Additional permitted uses include hunting, hunting blinds, trails, and forest management with an approved plan. A special opportunity for acreage, privacy, recreation, and conservation-minded ownership in the heart of Benzie County.
