Why Boyne City

Boyne City sits at the foot of Lake Charlevoix's south arm, walkable, with a genuine downtown, a growing dining scene, and easy access to both the lake and the mountain. It offers Northern Michigan character with a friendly, community feel and attainable pricing.

Downtown Life and the Year-Round Calendar

Downtown is the draw, an authentic main street of restaurants, breweries, a distillery, and specialty markets a short walk from the Lake Charlevoix waterfront and marina. Boyne Mountain Resort is a quick drive for skiing and golf, and the town's calendar stays busy year-round, from the Saturday farmers market to the National Morel Mushroom Festival each May. The trails and overlook at Avalanche Preserve rise above town.

What Homes Cost in Boyne City

Boyne City's housing runs from historic in-town homes and cottages to new construction on the surrounding hills and water-access or frontage properties on the south arm. Values have risen as more buyers discover the town. The Hartwicks understand that shift and help buyers judge where value still lies, balancing walkable convenience against lake access across a wide span of prices.

A Few Boyne City Standbys

A few local standbys: Boyne Country Provisions for artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and deli fare; Stiggs Brewery & Kitchen for house-brewed beer; Muskrat Distilling for craft spirits and cocktails; the Boyne City Tap Room on the corner of Lake and Main; and Gilda's Lake Street Bakery for a morning pastry, with the Saturday farmers market a summer ritual.

Questions Buyers Ask About Boyne City

What Buyers Want to KnowBoyne City against Charlevoix, living here year-round, and what Boyne Mountain does to valueView QuestionsClose▾
What makes Boyne City different from Charlevoix?▾

Price and pace. Charlevoix occupies a narrow ribbon between three bodies of water with a famous downtown and the premium that comes with it. Boyne City sits at the foot of the south arm with a main street of restaurants, breweries, a distillery and specialty markets, a working farmers market, and a shorter drive to the mountain. It has historically been the more attainable of the two while values have risen as more buyers have found it.

Can you live in Boyne City year-round?▾

Comfortably. The downtown is walkable with a busy calendar all year, from the Saturday farmers market to the National Morel Mushroom Festival each May. Boyne Mountain Resort is a short drive for skiing and golf, and the trails and overlook at Avalanche Preserve rise above town. It is one of the few places in the region where the year-round population sets the tone.

Does being near Boyne Mountain change what a home is worth?▾

It changes who wants it. Proximity to the resort widens the buyer pool to include people who want winter access and rental potential alongside those who want the lake. That can support value, but it also means two buyers can look at the same house for entirely different reasons and arrive at different numbers. Worth deciding which buyer you are before comparing prices.

Welcome to the historical Randall’s Point on Walloon Lake! This is a rare opportunity to own a century old homestead with a distinct peninsula that offers unmatched views of the sunrise and sunsets from all 4 cabins. Nestled at the end of a scenic, long, winding driveway and sitting on 15.5 acres with an expansive 2,170 feet of waterfront, this unique property is truly one of a kind. Purchased by the Randall family in the 1900’s, Mr. Randall and his dear friend, Ernest Hemingway, foraged the centuries old red and white pines hunting grouse and woodcock. It is also believed that Bo Randall and his wife attended Hemingway’s marriage to Hadley upon his return home from WWI. While the original barn and boathouse remain, the three log cabins were built in the 1920’s. The main log home was built in the 1970’s and underwent a major expansion and renovation in 2001. The first floor ‘master suite’ is a completely self-contained living space, and the rest of the main level boasts gleaming hardwood floors, walls of windows on three sides that overlook the lake just 25 feet away, a stone fireplace, and multiple sitting areas to enjoy, entertain, and spend time with family and friends. The spacious chef’s kitchen can accommodate multiple cooks and includes stainless steel appliances, granite island, and ample pantry storage. Several covered porches emit peace and tranquility while providing panoramic and breathtaking views. Sip your morning coffee while watching the sun rise and listen to the birds chirping and the fish jumping. Unwind in the evening with your favorite beverage as the sun melts into the rippling water. Flat rock steps lead down to the amazing hard-packed, sandy beach with a fire pit, perfect for those evening bonfires and s’mores. As you enter the guest cabins you are instantly transported back to a time when life was simple. Don't miss your chance to own this integral piece of Walloon Lake history that will provide another century of fun for future generations.
