Ski lodging and village houses in one ZIP

Boyne Mountain dates to the late 1940s and now has 60 runs, a 433 foot vertical drop and Avalanche Bay, described as the largest indoor water park in Michigan. The Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa opened in winter 2005. Resort property and village homes along US 131 sit close together on the map. The 49713 ZIP's top tier value of $622,945 and bottom tier of $225,874 show the range a comp search has to cover.

The village had 358 residents in 2020. The ski hill next door has 60 runs.

Thumb Lake and the eastern townships

East of the village, Hudson Township holds Thumb Lake, also known as Lake Louise, about 510 acres. Chandler Township, with 284 people in 2020, had the fewest residents of any mainland township in the county. Both are rural, and sales there come slowly. Acreage and lake parcels in this corner may need comparable sales drawn from a wide radius, and the report should say how far the search went.

Common questions

Is a condo at Boyne Mountain appraised like a house in the village?
Not with the same sales. A resort condo is compared with other resort units, and lenders review the condo project as well as the unit. Projects run like hotels can face extra lending limits. Boyne Mountain, owned by Boyne Resorts, offers lodging such as the Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa. A single family house in the village draws from a different, smaller pool of sales.
Is Boyne Falls a city or a village?
A village. Boyne Falls incorporated in 1893 and sits inside Boyne Valley Township, so owners are part of both the village and the township. The community began in 1874 when the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad arrived. US 131 runs through its west side, and Boyne Mountain lies just outside village limits.
