With mature trees and an exceptional waterfront setting, this property offers an exciting opportunity to create your own Northern Michigan retreat on one of Leelanau County’s most treasured inland lakes. The property currently features a 1940 log cottage that offers a glimpse into the classic cottage era of Northern Michigan. The cottage includes a living room with stone fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms, one bath, an additional sleeping room accessed from the screened-in porch, and an existing septic and drainfield serving the two-bedroom cottage. Whether re-imagining the nostalgic character of the existing cottage or envisioning a new lake home, the generous parcel and outstanding Little Traverse Lake frontage provide a remarkable canvas for the future. Ideally located between Leland and Glen Arbor, this remarkable setting is enhanced by protected Sleeping Bear Dunes Wilderness lies directly across the road, with the Good Harbor Bay Trail nearby for hiking and exploring the surrounding natural beauty. This is a rare chance to own a special stretch of Little Traverse Lake and create something uniquely your own. Property and existing cottage are being sold as-is, including dock and furnishings. Sellers have some personal items they will be removing prior to closing.
