About 8665 Worden Road
Welcome to your slice of paradise in beautiful Benzie County! This rare 76-acre, fourth-generation working fruit farm blends rich agricultural heritage with breathtaking natural beauty. Renowned for its exceptional soil, the land is ideal for cultivating cherries, apples, and a variety of other fruits. Set against a backdrop of rolling countryside, the property offers panoramic views of Lake Michigan, Big Platte Lake, and Little Platte Lake — a stunning trifecta of Northern Michigan vistas. The charming main home features custom Amish cabinetry, finely finished woodwork, Corian kitchen countertops, and a walk-in pantry. The bathrooms offer a touch of luxury with granite countertops and a Jacuzzi jetted tub (with heater) in the main bath — perfect for unwinding after a long day. A second home on the property provides rental income potential or private guest accommodations, supported by a strong rental history. For entrepreneurs, a well-established roadside fruit stand with a loyal customer base is ready to go, offering immediate business potential. Additional highlights include a spacious pole barn for storage, and the option for a local farmer to lease and maintain the tart cherry trees — allowing for passive income and minimal upkeep. Whether you're dreaming of hands-on farming, starting a new agri-business, or simply relaxing in a scenic Northern Michigan retreat, this one-of-a-kind property offers it all.
