About the area
About this property
Good Harbour Prelude - Lake Michigan's Best Beach!
Step through the front door and be greeted by the soothing sound of the surf and sweeping views of Pyramid Point and the Manitou Islands. On clear days, you may even catch a glimpse of the distant Fox Islands from this serene Good Harbour Bay retreat. Ideally situated between Leland and Glen Arbor, the home is just a 10-minute drive to historic Fishtown and 20 minutes to Glen Arbor’s charming shops and grocery stores. A local farm-to-table bakery is also about 20 minutes away.
The spacious covered deck is sure to become a favorite gathering space—perfect for relaxing in the comfortable seating area or enjoying a meal at the outdoor dining table. Roll-down shades offer a welcome break from the sun without sacrificing the lake breezes or the peaceful rhythm of the waves.
Step outside and enjoy crystal-clear water, a sandy-bottom shoreline, and shallow areas perfect for kids and launching small watercraft. The 100 feet of private frontage includes sandbars, beach gear, a fire pit, and a seating area close to the water. Four kayaks and life jackets are included for your use. A leisurely walk along the beach leads to the northern boundary of Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore—miles of pristine shoreline ideal for long, scenic walks.
