1942 Hoosier Valley Road

Set along a quieter stretch of Hoosier Valley Road, this property currently operates as a professionally managed short-term rental, but it functions differently than most Traverse City listings. About 10 minutes outside downtown Traverse City. Close enough for restaurants, events, and waterfront access, but far enough from traffic, density, or neighboring rentals stacked on top of each other. The Kingsley Club, stretches of the Boardman River, and trailheads like Lone Pine, Oleson Bridge, and Keystone Rapids offer up north recreational opportunities just minutes away. Built in 2023 on just over five wooded acres, the layout of this home is built for family, friends, and guests to gather. Five to six bedrooms, multiple gathering areas, and outdoor space that actually gets used. From the road, the house is visible. Once you’re on the property, the living areas face into the woods, and that’s where the experience shifts. The short-term rental structure is already established. Fully permitted, professionally managed, and consistently booked. This isn’t “investment potential.” It’s already performing, with a track record that supports it. One detail that matters more out here than most buyers expect is internet reliability. Starlink is installed and performs well, which removes a common issue for properties in this type of setting. In this part of the market, newer construction on acreage tends to draw a different buyer. Someone who wants a property that’s already set up for group use without inheriting the maintenance curve of an older home. That’s a different profile than in-town rentals, where turnover is higher and management tends to be more hands-on. Space, privacy, and a working rental setup, with town still within reach. That’s really what this comes down to.
