Dating back to the 1890s, this home still whispers of its past while embracing the comforts of today. You’ll find timeless elements throughout such as original hardwood floors, intricate woodwork, built-in cabinetry, and vintage wallpaper that adds a whimsical, nostalgic charm. And while history is honored here, modern updates such as a geothermal heating and cooling system ensure everyday comfort. Just off the home, a fenced backyard offers a safe, sunny space for four-legged companions. Steps away, the barn stands tall—complete with silo and corncrib—the image is nothing short of magical. As the sunlight filters through the slatted walls, the space glows with quiet reverence. The main level features a solid barn floor and soaring ceilings, while the lower level reveals fieldstone walls, massive wood beams, and original feed mangers. If you’re still enough, you might hear the soft cooing of pigeons nesting in the old silo. Swing open the oversized doors and you’ll find yourself gazing at a green field, ready to be a pasture, gathering space, or something entirely its own. Beyond the barn, this property once thrived as a bustling cherry orchard. The property still features the old cherry tank wash pad and two versatile accessory buildings—perfect for hobbies, tools, a workshop or creativity. And the old chicken coop? It is patiently waiting to welcome its new feathered flock. A handful of old sweet and tart cherry trees, along with a lone Bartlett pear tree, still yield a tasty harvest each year. Established iris beds and garden areas yearn to add color to the grassy landscape. Whether you're dreaming of a self-sustaining lifestyle, creating art in a space that inspires you, hosting unforgettable gatherings under the stars, or simply longing for the peace of Leelanau County living—this property offers the soul and space to bring those dreams to life. This is not just a home—it's a place for new beginnings. A place to be inspired. A place to write your next chapter.
