Legacy, Land and Lifestyle await. This exceptional Leelanau County estate presents a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully developed Up North retreat centered around equestrian living, family connection, and the joy of wide-open space. At its center is a custom-built home featuring solid oak trim, cherry hardwood floors, and expansive windows that capture views of the countryside. Designed for comfort and connection, the home offers generous living areas, a spacious kitchen made for gathering, and a wraparound porch where sunrises and wildlife sightings become daily life. Complementing the main residence is 1300 sq ft Lodge, an inviting guest retreat overlooking the pond and surrounding sanctuary. Originally the family's first home, it later welcomed guests who traveled from near and far to experience the ranch during its active hunting years. For equestrian enthusiasts, the estate is ready to ride. A 50 x 56 five-stall horse barn includes wash and grooming areas, tack and feed storage, and room for future expansion. Attached is a 72' x 80' indoor riding arena with LED lighting, providing year-round opportunities for riding and training. Fenced pasture and supporting improvements complete the setup. Includes a finished and insulated four-car garage, along with several accessory buildings (60'x24' Storage Building & 24' x 24' Insulated workshop) for hobbies, equipment, and future endeavors. The spring-fed pond, stocked with trout, largemouth bass, and sunfish, serves as a peaceful centerpiece while attracting abundant wildlife throughout the seasons. Located just 1.5 miles from Cedar, 30 minutes from Cherry Capital Airport, and approximately 40 minutes from Traverse City Horse Shows, this property strikes the perfect balance between privacy, recreation, and accessibility. Whether envisioned as an equestrian estate, family retreat, hobby farm, or lasting legacy, this is a place where memories are made, traditions endure, and the next chapter is ready to be written.
