About This Home
As of April 2025Unforgettable sunrises. Lifelong memories. This isn’t just a lake house—it’s a front-row seat to nature’s masterpiece, every single day. With 150' of pristine water frontage on Little Glen, you’ll feel the sand between your toes as you step into a world of tranquility. After a day of enjoying the lake and all this iconic location has to offer, unwind by the fireplace or take in the breathtaking views from the covered gazebo overlooking the water. This property holds a cherished family history—once a beloved summer retreat, it later became the year-round home the owner built. A unique feature is the "playhouse," repurposed from the front porch of the original cabin, adding to its rich history. A garden area complements the natural beauty, while colorful flowers planted around the home bring bursts of seasonal charm. Deer, ducks, and songbirds frequently visit, filling the property with life. Towering birch, cedar, and other hardwoods grace the setting, creating a serene and picturesque retreat. Inside, the home welcomes you with warm wood accents, a loft overlooking the living area, and pine tongue-and-groove ceilings that enhance its cozy, cabin-like charm. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the kitchen and living space, making it perfect for entertaining. The kitchen features beautiful hickory cabinets, adding warmth and character while providing ample storage. Expansive windows flood the space with natural light and frame the stunning views, ensuring that the beauty of Little Glen is never out of sight. Perfectly situated just minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, and Lake Michigan, this home puts you in the heart of all Leelanau County has to offer. Outdoor buildings, the option to heat with natural gas or an outdoor wood burner, and a 160' dock with platform add to its versatility. If you’ve been dreaming of a place where every day feels like a getaway, this might just be ‘the one.’ But fair warning—once you see it, you may never want to leave.
