About this property

Birchgate – Historic Bluffside Cottage with Panoramic Bay Views

Welcome to Birchgate, a timeless 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom cottage perched on the bluff in the coveted Roaring Brook Association of Harbor Springs. Passed down through generations of the same family, this beloved home is filled with character, history, and cherished memories.

Designed in true old-world cottage style, Birchgate offers an inviting layout perfect for families and groups. The main floor features a spacious dining room that flows into a cozy living room, while a large second-floor bunkroom provides plenty of space for kids or guests. A classic screened porch extends the living area outdoors, opening to a sprawling private yard with breathtaking panoramic views of Little Traverse Bay.

Roaring Brook residents and guests enjoy access to two tennis courts, a stunning private beach, and a community dock—ideal for soaking up summer days on the water.

Birchgate is more than just a vacation home—it’s a chance to become part of Harbor Springs history while enjoying all the natural beauty, charm, and tradition this unique lakeside community has to offer.
