Property Description

Nestled along 100 feet of private frontage on beautiful Lake Leelanau, this exceptional waterfront property captures everything people love about life in Leelanau County. Set on a spacious lot with a sweeping lawn stretching to the water's edge, the setting invites long summer days on the lake, evening bonfires by the shore, and unforgettable gatherings with family and friends. The thoughtfully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is designed to make the most of its waterfront setting, with lake views from many of the home's primary living spaces. The main residence features three spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and a convenient powder room. A large finished guest space adjacent to the garage provides additional seasonal accommodations for visitors. The updated kitchen offers generous workspace and opens comfortably to the living and dining areas, while expansive windows frame picturesque views of Lake Leelanau. Recent improvements include a newer septic system and drain field, providing peace of mind for years to come. With over 8,500 acres of water and more than 40 miles of shoreline, Lake Leelanau is one of Northern Michigan's most treasured destinations for boating, fishing, swimming, and waterfront recreation. From this central location, you'll enjoy easy access to award-winning wineries, renowned restaurants, golf courses, and the charming towns that make Leelanau County such a special place to call home. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence or a seasonal retreat, this is a rare opportunity to own 100 feet of private frontage on one of Northern Michigan's most beloved lakes.
