Property Description
Benzie County Barndominium Opportunity — Where Vision Meets Versatility Welcome to one of Benzie County’s most iconic and inspiring redevelopment opportunities: a historic, timber-framed Gambrel barn set on over 8 acres of rolling hardwood forest and open pasture, just minutes from Crystal Lake, Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Mountain, and downtown Frankfort. Crafted with hand-hewn mortise and tenon joinery and oak pegs, the structure has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully prepared for its next chapter. A new AdvanTech engineered subfloor, freshly poured garage and insulated basement floors, a restored stone foundation, and a new gravel driveway are already in place—setting the stage for your dream project. Architectural plans by a noted Northern Michigan architect envision a stunning 3–4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home spanning three levels, complete with a walkout lower level and elevated main-floor balcony. Whether you follow those plans or pursue a different vision, this property is a blank canvas of possibilities. Why limit your imagination? In Joyfield Township, you’ll enjoy exceptional freedom to design, build, and use the land as you see fit—be it as a dramatic barndominium, a boutique event venue, a working hobby farm, or an equestrian retreat. Featured on American Dream TV and soon airing on HGTV, this rare offering combines timeless craftsmanship with modern infrastructure—ready for your final touches. Your dream. Your vision. Your up-north escape. (Please respect neighboring properties and schedule showings by appointment only.)

- Nick did an awesome job in helping us find and purchase our condo. He listened to our wants and identified options and in the end we found a good fit for our needs for a vacation home Since we are far from Holland Nick set up a couple video tours to reduce travel. Thanks Nick for all the hard work and insight. We are very excited about our new home!Gordon L
- Nick was awesome to work with! I just went through the process of purchasing my first home and Nick couldn’t have made it any easier. He is super knowledgeable about the industry and the area. He answered all my questions and made sure to point out things I may not be thinking of since it was my first time going through the process. He was attentive, super responsive, easy to talk to, and truly cares about finding his clients a home they’ll love! I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future and would definitely recommend him as an agent!Emily Rzeszutko
- Nick was amazing to work with! This was my first time buying a house. Nick was very patient and took the time to walk me through everything and address all my questions. He was always quick to respond. He was clearly knowledgeable about the area and was great at pointing out and educating me on issues to watch for as we walked through houses. I absolutely recommend Nick to anyone buying or selling a home, and look forward to working with him again in the future!Kayla Kocal
