This home is ideally located in the heart of Leelanau county. Surrounded by award winning wineries (within walking distance) and peaceful rolling hills, it is the perfect place to unwind and relax after a day in Traverse City, at one of the amazing Lake Michigan beaches, climbing Sleeping Bear Dunes, strolling through downtown Suttons Bay, Leland, or Northport, or enjoying one of the many nearby festivals and events.
A beautifully remodeled 1890's farm house, owned by the same family for over 100 years, gives you a taste of northern Michigan history. There is nothing like spending time relaxing on the covered expansive deck with views of the countryside while beach towels dry on the railing and dinner is cooking on the grill. Situated on 16 acres, there is room to explore. A stroll along the perennial garden is an experience to savor. This is a family estate with "grandma & grandpa" living close by across the garden. We are happy to host those who are looking for a peaceful or family oriented vacation. We cannot host heavily spirited parties or getaways.
With over 2500 square feet of space, there is room to spread out and accommodate multiple families. The lower level includes a family room with fire place and sectional sofas, a bathroom and laundry area, large farm kitchen with french doors leading to large covered deck, sitting room off the kitchen with couch and ping pong table, dining room, and bedroom with king sized bed. The upstairs level has an office space, a large bathroom with tub and walk in shower, and four bedrooms.
The owners are nearby on the same property and are delighted to go above and beyond to help make your stay relaxing and fun. Being deeply connected to the area, you will be privy to "local's" secrets. You will have as much privacy as you desire but always feel welcome to ask questions and be included in what's happening.
