Tucked away at the end of a private road, atop a scenic ridge, this one-of-a-kind Leelanau County property offers more than a home--it delivers a front-row seat to sweeping water views, rolling countryside, and the quintessential Up North lifestyle. The expansive acreage, lined with mature evergreens and hardwoods, offers endless privacy and the soothing presence of nature. From the moment you step into the backyard, you're greeted with breathtaking views of Lake Leelanau, stretching wide as the eye can see. With selective tree trimming, the potential to expand your view is limitless--offering total control over your own picture-perfect backdrop. The home itself is full of potential and ready for a creative vision. While it's in need of updating, its bones provide a solid foundation for transformation. A walkout lower level includes a charming sunroom and opens to a backyard with natural undulating topography--adding character, movement, and charm to the outdoor space. Picture cozy evenings around the bonfire under star-filled skies, or morning sunrises with coffee on the deck as the lake glistens in the early light. Also included is a 30x60 pole barn, complete with water and power--ideal for a workshop, storage, or housing all your outdoor toys and hobbies. And if more privacy is what you're after, four additional vacant parcels along the private road are available to extend your slice of paradise. While the peaceful setting feels like a world away, you're just minutes from some of Leelanau's best offerings--wineries, Lake Michigan beaches, fishing and boating on inland lakes, and the iconic towns of Lake Leelanau, Suttons Bay and Leland. Traverse City is just a 30-minute drive, making it an easy escape for business and pleasure. Whether you're dreaming of a secluded retreat, a full-time residence to make your own, or a property to build a legacy for generations to come, this is more than a home--it's a rare opportunity to craft your vision of the Leelanau lifestyle.
