You have an amazing opportunity to purchase a beautiful 8.5-acre property in the stunning Crystal Lake area, complete with a multi-functional facility/building. This lovely property is within a few minutes of fantastic areas such as Crystal Mountain, known for summer golfing and winter skiing, Lake Michigan fishing and swimming, and the city of Frankfort with restaurants, shopping, beaches and marina. The property is also just ¼ mile away from Crystal Lake with public access for summer boating/fishing and winter ice fishing/snowmobiling.
The building has recently been used as a state inspected and certified adult foster care home, but in addition, offers a multitude of opportunities for other uses only limited by your imagination. For instance, it could be converted to your single-family dream home with possible Crystal Lake views, or perhaps a multi-unit vacation rental facility, or a destination wedding venue…the possibilities are endless.
The value of the current facility and land can be understood by considering the flexible zoning, the brand-new septic system (2022) to accommodate up to 40 beds, the laundry facilities on both floors, the state approved interior sprinkler system, the Generac backup generator, the more than ample parking/storage area, and the ability to split the property for additional residential use.
