Property Description
An extraordinary Lake Michigan estate on the coveted Leelanau Peninsula. 200 feet of lake Michigan frontage and 10.3 acres of property offer a rare combination of privacy, protected natural beauty, and breathtaking waterfront views. Conservation easement across the street ensures the surrounding landscape will remain unchanged. Designed to embrace its extraordinary waterfront setting, a series of boardwalks and scenic viewing decks lead from the home to the pristine sugar sand beach, where crystal-clear waters and a gradual shoreline create an exceptional setting for swimming, beach walks, and enjoying the beauty of Lake Michigan. Western exposure provides spectacular sunset views across the open water, with Cathead Point visible just to the north. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings with warm wood finishes, exposed beams, and a dramatic two-story wall of windows showcase the incredible waterfront setting. The second level overlooks the great room below, where a custom wall of bookcases add timeless character. An impressive 8-foot hand-carved antique cedar mantel anchors the fireplace, while the thoughtfully designed kitchen features custom-crafted cabinetry, an oversized island, walk-in pantry, and hand-painted Portuguese tile accents. Three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, generous walk-in closets, an attached garage, and expansive decking complete this remarkable retreat. With only a select number of homes along this remarkable stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline, opportunities to own a property of this caliber are exceptionally rare. Combining protected surroundings, timeless craftsmanship, and an irreplaceable waterfront setting, this legacy estate offers a truly extraordinary opportunity to enjoy one of Northern Michigan's most spectacular coastlines for generations to come.
