Welcome to 15049 Healy Lake Road: 5.02 magical acres in Bear Lake, Michigan, where a fully updated main home meets an inspiring riverside retreat on Bear Creek, a blue-ribbon trout stream highly sought after by anglers. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath main house has been completely refreshed with new flooring throughout, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated lighting, a new kitchen appliance package, a new furnace, a new hot water heater, and new outlets and covers, move-in ready from top to bottom. A new septic and a new well serve the main house, giving buyers real peace of mind on the big-ticket systems. Down along Bear Creek sits a rustic river cabin, the kind of spot that instantly becomes a muse. Electricity is already on at the cabin, and it's the kind of place that becomes a writing retreat, art studio, guest bunk, or simply your favorite spot to watch the trout go by. Water and septic aren't currently run to the cabin, but the acreage and existing infrastructure make bringing them online straightforward for a buyer who wants to expand the use. Location is a huge part of this property's story. You're minutes from Crystal Mountain for downhill and cross-country skiing, golf, and the Michigan Legacy Art Park; a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore for beaches, dunes, and Lake Michigan sunsets; and close to the charming small towns of Benzie County, Frankfort, Beulah, and Honor for dining, shopping, and lakeside culture. Whether you're after a year-round home, a four-season up-north getaway, or a creative escape on the water, this property delivers a rare blend of turnkey comfort and untapped potential.
A canopy of mature maple trees, perennial gardens, and a classic white picket fence welcome you to this beautifully preserved farmhouse, where timeless character and thoughtful updates come together on a spacious half-acre lot in the Village of Bear Lake. Step inside the enclosed front porch—a space that immediately slows the pace and invites you to linger with a morning cup of coffee or a good book before entering the heart of the home. Original wood floors, rich millwork, leaded-glass windows, stained-glass lighting, and a built-in bay window seat with hidden storage reflect the craftsmanship of another era, while fresh paint throughout most of the home and numerous recent updates make everyday living comfortable and move-in ready. The kitchen features a newer gas range, refrigerator, and pantry, opening to a formal dining room that's ready for holiday dinners, game nights, or everyday meals. Four bedrooms and two full baths provide flexibility for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. Outside, the spacious private backyard is surrounded by mature trees and established perennial gardens, creating a peaceful setting for relaxing on the large deck or entertaining friends throughout the seasons. Life here extends well beyond the property. Walk to Bear Lake's public beach, schools, Hopkins Park, pickleball and basketball courts, summer festivals, fireworks, the annual parade, and village events that make this community such a special place to call home.
