Experience the best of Leelanau living with this extraordinary 107-acre property featuring 500 feet of private frontage on the crystal-clear waters of Lake Leelanau. Rolling hills, ridge-line lake views, open meadows, hardwoods, evergreens, and farmland make this a truly one-of-a-kind offering just 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City. Summer here is simply unmatched - spend your days swimming off the private dock, kayaking and paddleboarding, fishing, or hiking trails that wind through hardwoods and open meadows. When winter arrives, the property transforms into a private retreat for sledding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing on the frozen lake. The 4-bed, 2.5-bath main residence blends classic up north charm with modern updates - vaulted wood ceilings, inlaid wood floors, and a stone fireplace. Thoughtfully renovated in 2022 and move-in ready, with a Generac generator for year-round peace of mind. Evenings are especially magical, with stunning lake sunsets enjoyed from multiple vantage points across the property. A separate 1-bed, 1-bath chalet with a four-car garage offers space for guests, a private retreat, or potential rental use. Additional structures include a 30x50 pole building and two waterfront cabins, perfect as bunkhouses or lakeside gear storage. With 3,700 feet of road frontage, a private dock, and a lakeside firepit, this rare Leelanau County property delivers beauty, privacy, and outdoor living at its finest.
