About This Home

As of April 2025

Secluded Beachfront Retreat on Old Mission Peninsula – 150 Feet of Private Frontage. Discover a rare opportunity to own 150 feet of private, direct water frontage on West Bay, at the end of Old Mission Peninsula. This 1.06-acre property is one of the last gems in the area, offering panoramic views, breathtaking sunsets, and even a chance to watch the northern lights from your living room. Tucked away at the end of a one-lane dirt road carved through the woods, this retreat provides the ultimate seclusion while still being just a car or boat ride away from downtown Traverse City, Power Island, Suttons Bay, Northport and Elk Rapids. Walk along the sandy beach to the historic Old Mission Lighthouse or simply relax and enjoy the crystal-clear waters right outside your door. The cozy 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin features a great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, a charming brick fireplace, and an updated kitchen—all designed to maximize natural light and frame the stunning waterfront views. Whether you're looking for a private getaway, an investment, or the perfect location to build your dream home, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of Northern Michigan paradise. All offers due by March 19th, 5pm.
