Discover a one-of-a-kind 11.5-acre sanctuary nestled along 900+ feet of pristine Boardman River frontage. Seamlessly merging with state land, this estate boasts exclusivity via a gated private bridge. Traverse through majestic hardwoods and follow the tranquil path of a meandering stream, amidst a picturesque setting. Step inside the 4 bed/2 bath main house to be greeted by the warmth of beautiful tongue-and-groove cedar vaulted ceilings, enveloping the space in rustic elegance. The lower level offers a seamless transition to the outdoors, with a walk-out feature leading to a sprawling deck, perfect for serene moments or lively gatherings. A heated, two-story detached garage with five overhead doors stands as a testament to craftsmanship and utility, offering ample space for vehicles, equipment, and hobbies. Additionally, a 1200-square-foot guest quarters provide comfort and privacy for visitors, featuring 2 beds/1 bath, a living area, and a full kitchen. Perched above the river, this property offers breathtaking views and privacy, while being only minutes from downtown Traverse City amenities!

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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