17470 Smokey Hollow Rd, Traverse City, MI 49686

Nestled along one of the most tranquil stretches of waterfront on Old Mission Peninsula, this inviting home blends timeless charm with a setting that’s nothing short of spectacular. Inspired by traditional Swedish cottages, the residence offers warmth and character throughout its 1,550 square feet, featuring rich redwood walls and ceilings, maple hardwood floors, and clear cedar trim. Immediately upon entering the home, you'll be wowed by the design and custom touches, like the open stair case at the heart of the home, which allows for unobstructed water views from the moment you step inside. The main living space is anchored by a cozy fireplace with custom built-ins and a wall of glass doors that frame breathtaking views of East Bay. Upstairs are two bedrooms - each with stunning water views - plus a non-conforming third bedroom. Set on a beautiful 1.2-acre lot with towering mature trees, the property boasts 150 feet of private, direct waterfront—a perfect vantage point to enjoy stunning sunrises over the glistening waters of East Bay. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a brand-new back deck added in 2024. Boaters will appreciate the notoriously calm waters of East Bay, with easy access via boat to some favorite local spots such as Old Mission Harbor (Haserot Beach), the village of Elk Rapids or Petobego sandbar. Life on this part of Old Mission is idyllic and feels like a world of its own… bike to Old Mission General Store for a sandwich or snack, go hike the trails surrounding Old Mission Lighthouse, stop by one of the many roadside fruit stands or wineries, or stop by Seven Hills/Mission Proper for morning brunch (or drinks/music in the evening). Additional features include an oversized one-car garage, forced air heating and A/C (natural gas), and updated windows and doors on the lake-facing side of the home (within the last 15 years). This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of peninsula paradise—peaceful, picturesque, and ready to enjoy.
