From the moment you step in you'll be greeted with stunning panoramic lake views in this modern and updated waterfront home with 100 feet of frontage on 2500 acre all-sport Big Platte Lake. Big Platte Lake is known by the locals as one of the area's best kept secrets. Kayak and paddleboard adventures to Lake Michigan await via the Lower Platte River which runs through the lake. This beautiful and well-maintained turn-key 3 bed 3 bath home is located directly adjacent to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and minutes from popular Platte Point Beach on Lake Michigan. You will love the bright and open spacious main floor with expansive windows and two separate living areas. Enjoy watching sunrises and sunsets from the main living area featuring a fieldstone gas fireplace. Take in sweeping views of the lake while cooking from the beautifully appointed kitchen with granite counters, tile backsplash, center island with pendants from Rejuvenation, stainless appliances, and large pantry. A convenient bath on the main was recently updated with all new paint, fixtures, and a carrera marble counter. Relax and restore in the expansive primary bedroom complete with its own dedicated staircase, gas fireplace, and en-suite bath. Each bedroom showcases incredible lake views, with the primary and an additional bedroom opening onto a large deck perched high overlooking the lake. The entire home underwent an overhaul in 2021 with extensive updates such as new paint throughout the entire home, all new lighting and fixtures inside and out, new composite steps at the entrances, exterior doors and smart door lock, a new well, Culligan water filtration and reverse osmosis, new gutters, landscaping, a 2000 lb. mooring anchor and buoy, and more. New boulders stretching 6 feet high were added in 2023 for no-maintenance shoreline preservation for years to come. A special feature of this lake home is the included buildable lot directly across the street currently with a pole barn but with plenty of options to add a larger pole barn to store boats and lake toys, guests, or build an additional home making this a family compound at the lake. The home also includes high-speed internet, central air, underground sprinkling, natural gas, and has an excellent rental history. You will absolutely love this convenient location in one of Michigan's most renowned destinations but also just a short drive to Beulah, Frankfort, Traverse City, scenic M22, Glen Arbor and Empire. With plenty of time to still enjoy the summer, this property is being sold partially furnished so you can start enjoying lake living right away. The Bennington pontoon boat, aluminum dock, and lift are all negotiable. Don't sleep on this one, schedule your showing today to see this slice of Northern Michigan paradise that won't last long!

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.
