Birch Point Estate: A Private Lake Leelanau Legacy Property. 107 acres. 500 feet of crystal-clear water. Ridge-line views over the lake. Experience the best of Leelanau living with this extraordinary 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, with days spent 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, featuring 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. Beyond its life as a beloved family legacy property, the acreage offers real room to grow, whether that's a vineyard or winery, a horse barn and equestrian setup, additional building sites, or future development potential. Few properties in Leelanau County offer this much land, water, and possibility in one place.
