Bordering the Sleeping Bear Dunes, this full log 3 BR, 2.5 BA home rests among mature trees on 1.7 acres south of the Dune Climb in Glen Arbor Township. A rare combination of an outstanding location and an exceptional home. The well-maintained residence was built in 2020, and amenities include central air, water softener, cable TV and internet, and a whole-house Generac generator for peace of mind. The inside is clean and bright, with log exterior walls and drywalled interior walls and ceilings. Flooring includes carpeting and luxury plank vinyl. A vaulted ceiling in the Great Room includes windows above the French door, allowing light to stream in above the living area. Cozy up to the gas fireplace or step from the living room to the 10x20 outdoor deck with spectacular views of the dunes. A cook’s kitchen includes a 6-burner gas stove and double oven, granite counters, cherry wood cabinets, stainless appliances and an island with seating next to the dining area. Off the kitchen is a screened porch for outdoor dining, reading and lounging. The main floor primary bedroom includes a huge walk-in closet with its own access to the laundry area, a sliding door to the balcony, and a full bathroom with dual sinks. A half bath is conveniently located off the entry. The finished lower level shares the upper entry and has its own entrance via a French door. Set up as apartment-type living space, the lower level includes a large family room, kitchen, bathroom with shower, and two bedrooms: one nonconforming, one with a door to the outside—perhaps for your home office or hobby room. Additionally, there is a 15x15 utility/storage/shop area. Store tools in a 16x12 garden shed. At the road is an RV hookup next to the 16x12 log cabin, attractively finished inside for use as guest retreat or an artist's studio. The long driveway promises privacy, less road noise, and the dark skies you need to stargaze around your private campfire. Walk from your backyard into the National Park.

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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