Here’s your chance to own the award-winning Chameleon House—a true modern-industrial masterpiece designed by San Francisco’s Anderson Anderson Architects and featured in multiple luxury architecture books. Set high on a one-acre hillside overlooking cherry orchards, this one-of-a-kind home captures sweeping westward views of Lake Michigan, the Manitou Islands, Fox Islands, and The Crib Lighthouse. Its unique reflective polyethylene siding transforms with the seasons—blending into snow-covered landscapes, spring blossoms, and autumn colors, earning it the name Chameleon. Constructed with steel I-beams and structural insulated panels, the home is both innovative and energy-efficient. Inside, birch wood panels add warmth to the clean, modern design. The layout includes a primary suite, two guest bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and a loft-style executive office with its own bath. At the very top, the rooftop deck offers unbeatable sunset views over the lake—perfect for unwinding in total privacy. Located just minutes from Leland’s Fishtown and Northport’s Bayfront Park, this is not just a home—it’s a statement, a conversation piece, and a rare opportunity to own one of Northern Michigan’s most distinctive properties.

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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