About This Home
Discover a one-of-a-kind 11.5-acre sanctuary nestled along nearly 1,100 feet of pristine Boardman River frontage. Seamlessly merging with state land, this estate boasts exclusivity via a gated private bridge. Traverse through majestic hardwoods and follow the tranquil path of a meandering stream, amidst a picturesque setting. Step inside the 4 bed/2 bath main house to be greeted by the warmth of beautiful tongue-and-groove cedar vaulted ceilings, enveloping the space in rustic elegance. The lower level offers a seamless transition to the outdoors, with a walk-out feature leading to a sprawling deck, perfect for serene moments or lively gatherings. A heated, two-story detached garage with five overhead doors stands as a testament to craftsmanship and utility, offering ample space for vehicles, equipment, and hobbies. Additionally, a 1200-square-foot guest quarters provide comfort and privacy for visitors, featuring 2 beds/1 bath, a living area, and a full kitchen. Perched above the river, this property offers breathtaking views and privacy, while being only minutes from downtown Traverse City amenities!
