About This Home
Presenting a once-in-a-lifetime Leelanau County estate with unmatched water views. Perched atop nearly 19 acres of rolling, private land, this extraordinary 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom ranch estate offers panoramic views that are simply unparalleled. Truly one of the most unique and impressive views in the county with sweeping vistas of Lake Leelanau, Lake Michigan, the Manitou Islands, and the sand dunes of Pyramid Point — all from a single, breathtaking vantage point. Watch colors change and sunlight dazzle on the water, ending each day with a spectacular sunset over Lake Michigan. Other property features include a 24x30x18 steel barn, active lavender garden, a terraced garden, recently planted grape vines and an expansive back deck overlooking a small pond with waterfall feature. Designed with a timeless blend of classic architecture and mid-century modern charm, this 5,040 sq. ft. home is currently a full time primary residence while also operating as a successful bed and breakfast, thoughtfully divided into an “owner’s side” (2 bed/2 bath) and a “guest side” (4 bed/3 bath). The layout of the home allows for new owners to easily continue the bed and breakfast operation or instead use the entire home as a personal estate. The extravagant chef’s kitchen (literally.. the home was originally owned by a retired White House chef!) with Thermador appliances, a large island and butler’s pantry is perfectly set up for hosting and cooking for large gatherings. Features include double wall ovens, a 6 burner cook top, 2 built in Subzero refrigerators, 2 Subzero freezers, granite counters and beautiful cabinetry. The enormous great room is sure to be a popular gathering spot with its stunning stone surround fireplace, vaulted ceilings, extensive built-in shelving and beautiful views of the grounds & water beyond. The living room off of the kitchen features a second gas fireplace and is adjacent to one of two dining areas.
