Description

Welcome to 1056 Smith Road, a distinctive Northern Michigan property where approximately 16.5 acres of gardens, pastures, and rolling wooded hills create a lifestyle shaped by beauty, character, and room to explore. A restored farmhouse, historic barn, substantial carriage house, and collection of outbuildings give the property a wonderful sense of place, just minutes from downtown Traverse City, Cherry Capital Airport, Flintfields Horse Park, area beaches, restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions....Welcome to 1056 Smith Road, a distinctive Northern Michigan property where approximately 16.5 acres of gardens, pastures, and rolling wooded hills create a lifestyle shaped by beauty, character, and room to explore. A restored farmhouse, historic barn, substantial carriage house, and collection of outbuildings give the property a wonderful sense of place, just minutes from downtown Traverse City, Cherry Capital Airport, Flintfields Horse Park, area beaches, restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions. The farmhouse rests at the heart of the property, surrounded by mature flowering trees and perennial gardens that bring color and interest throughout the seasons. Beyond the gardens, a wooded trail leads to “The Rock,†a tucked-away picnic spot beneath the trees—an inviting place to slow down and enjoy the landscape. The historic barn with stalls reflects the property’s agricultural heritage while enhancing its equestrian appeal. A 40'-by-50' carriage house/garage features finished main-level space, an upper-level with a finished bathroom, and additional flexible space for your vision. A chicken coop and other outbuildings further enrich the property’s rural character. An added dimension: in March 2026, East Bay Charter Township Planning Commission approved the site plan and special land use, subject to conditions, with up to 10 single-night gatherings each year and a max of 100 guests. This approval may offer potential for intimate weddings, farm dinners, or private celebrations set among the gardens, pasture, and barn. Final land-use permitting remains to be completed. Buyers should independently verify the approval’s current status, transferability, expiration, approved plans, permitted use, and all conditions with East Bay Charter Township. With its graceful farmhouse, storied outbuildings, cultivated gardens, wooded trail, and acres of open possibility, 1056 Smith Road offers a setting to be enjoyed thoughtfully, beautifully, and in every season.
