Tucked away at the end of a private road, atop a scenic ridge, this one-of-a-kind Leelanau County property offers more than a home-Âťit delivers a front-row seat to sweeping water views, rolling countryside, and the quintessential Up North lifestyle. The expansive acreage, lined with mature evergreens and hardwoods, offers endless privacy and the soothing presence of nature. From the moment you step into the backyard, you're greeted with breathtaking views of Lake Leelanau, stretching wide as the eye can see. With selective tree trimming, the potential to expand your view is limitless-Âťoffering total control over your own picture-perfect backdrop. The home itself is full of potential and ready for a creative vision. While its in need of updating, its bones provide a solid foundation for transformation. A walkout lower level includes a charming sunroom and opens to a backyard with natural undulating topography-Âťadding character, movement, and charm to the outdoor space. Picture cozy evenings around the bonfire under star-filled skies, or morning sunrises with coffee on the deck as the lake glistens in the early light. Also included is a 30x60 pole barn, complete with water and power-Âťideal for a workshop, storage, or housing all your outdoor toys and hobbies. And if more privacy is what youre after, four additional vacant parcels along the private road are available to extend your slice of paradise. While the peaceful setting feels like a world away, youre just minutes from some of Leelanaus best offerings-Âťwineries, Lake Michigan beaches, fishing and boating on inland lakes, and the iconic towns of Lake Leelanau, Suttons Bay and Leland. Traverse City is just a 30-minute drive, making it an easy escape for business and pleasure. Whether youre dreaming of a secluded retreat, a full-time residence to make your own, or a property to build a legacy for generations to come, this is more than a home--it's a rare opportunity to craft your vision of the Leelanau lifestyle.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
