About this property
Ultimate privacy beside Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, 3 miles to Empire
Fifty-acre retreat offers green pastures, natural forest and horizon views of Lake Michigan dunes and Old Baldy. Fully appointed 4 BR, 3 Bath ranch-style home offers peace and quiet in a sunny setting. Take a dip in the heated pool with a slide the kids will love(open May-Sept.). You can relax, unplug and unwind while watching sunsets from the deck. Full basement is its own getaway with a large screen TV, pool table and ping pong. Play baseball on your private ballfield and gather for a game of horseshoes or volleyball. Countless stars appear above the firepit, so pack the s’mores fixins. Trails through the woods lead to wildflowers, birdsong and signs of wildlife. A camping area is available for extra guests. Close to beaches, golfing, kayaking, fishing. Eight miles to Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail for walking/bicycling plus numerous Nat. Pk. hiking trails. Leelanau County offers wineries, fine dining, breweries and shopping. But once you get here it will be hard to leave the tranquility and privacy. Great for large family gatherings. A working hobby farm next door offers tours by appointment. Check with the host for a list of all amenities.
