Tucked into 8+ wooded acres with nearly 1,000 feet of private First Creek frontage, this one-of-a-kind log home offers privacy, peace, and a front-row seat to nature’s magic. Every corner of the property invites you to slow down - watch the salmon and steelhead run, wander the trails, or sit under the stars by the fire pit. Step inside and you're greeted by soaring ceilings, a grand fieldstone fireplace, and a floating log staircase that sets the tone for this custom-built retreat. The chef-ready kitchen blends rustic charm with modern function, while the wrap-around porch (with a cozy screened section) is made for morning coffee, evening drinks, and everything in between. Main-floor living includes a spacious primary suite with a bathroom, sauna, and tranquil views. Upstairs offers room to sleep, read, or simply spread out, complete with a thoughtfully designed split bathroom. Downstairs? That’s your go-to hangout space—wet bar, game room, walkout access, plus a guest bedroom, office/flex space (non-conforming bedroom), and a full bath. The home also has a strong rental history with many five-star guest reviews, and most furnishings are negotiable—making it easy to step right into the Up North experience. A 32x48 pole barn with water and 200-amp service handles your storage needs—whether it's for tools, toys, or future projects. And if you're into adventure, you're in luck. State land is right across the road, with access to snowmobile, horseback, and ATV trails. Crystal Mountain is a quick 7-minute drive. Sleeping Bear Dunes, Frankfort, and Traverse City are all close enough for spontaneous day trips. It’s more than a home—it’s a sanctuary where you can reconnect, recharge, and write your next chapter. Strong rental history and potential.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
