Property Description
Rarely does a Northern Michigan waterfront property offer this combination of 216 feet of crystal-clear North Blue Lake frontage, nearly two private wooded acres, exceptional privacy, and a custom Craftsman residence. This 4,000+ square-foot estate is designed to embrace its natural setting, with four bedrooms, three baths, soaring cathedral ceilings, expansive windows, natural craftsmanship, and a dramatic stone fireplace. At the heart of the home is a large, open kitchen, dining, and family room overlooking the lake, creating an exceptional setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Expansive windows keep the water in view and make North Blue Lake part of the experience from nearly every gathering space. The waterfront lifestyle is enhanced by a private dock and three-season room overlooking the lake. The low-wake setting is ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and peaceful days on the water, while the lake’s remarkable clarity creates an especially beautiful backdrop. For the Northern Michigan enthusiast, the property also features a heated 24×24 workshop and an impressive 40×30 toy barn with 16-foot sidewalls and 14-foot drive-through doors—ideal for boats, vehicles, recreational equipment, and seasonal storage. Snowmobiling, ORV’s, Golf, skiing, fishing, and other four-season recreation are all within easy reach. This is more than a waterfront home. It is a private Northern Michigan estate offering rare frontage, timeless Craftsman character, exceptional lake views, and the space to enjoy every season. 216 feet of crystal-clear North Blue Lake frontage. Nearly two private wooded acres. A truly rare waterfront offering.
