Stunning Leelanau County Estate with 35 Acres

This exceptional property consists of 35 acres of rolling meadows and towering hardwoods.  It's situated in southern Leelanau County within easy reach of the amenities of Traverse City but far enough out to give you room to roam.  100's of acres of public land lie just to the west and a number of quiet gravel roads in this primarily agricultural area allow for plenty of riding opportunities.

 The 3.,400 square foot custom home features a wide open chef's kitchen with all the fine fineshes you'd expect including granite counters, custom tile flooring and a gas fired island cook top.  A spacious dining and living area offers cathedral ceilings, a cut stone fireplace and plenty of natural light.

The fine details carry through the generous master suite with floor to celing tiled shower, granite vanity tops and rich cabinetry.  Three additional bedrooms provide excellent accommodations for family and visiting friends.  A lower level living area also provides space for everyone to spread out a bit and enjoy their own time.

The land is really the highlight of this property, however.  The home is perched on a gentle knoll and overlooks approximately 10 acres of open, rolling fields.  This would be ideal pasture or make the most of the south facing slope to plant your own vineyard.  A small wildlife pond lies to the west of the home while the north and east are framed by mature hardwoods that provide a stunning backdrop.

In addition to the three car attached garage, a 32 x 64 heated barn is ready for your preferred use.  It includes a finished office space, two large overhead doors, a loft space and wood shop.  With some simple modifications, it can be used for whatever your needs might be.

Proudly offered at $639,900, this is a truly rare opportunity to have it all.  For complete details click HERE or contact Broker / Owner, Chad Brown at chad@homewaters.net or by phone at (231) 499-8292 to schedule a private tour.

Exceptional Au Sable River home with Cape Cod charm


One of the toughest things for us to find for riverfront buyers is a finely built, modern home that has a ton of character.  There are a bunch of modest cabins that need some work and a few original cottages with larger additions but few were designed and crafted as year round homes.  This is certainly one of those exceptional properties.




The owners are from The East Coast and brought that character with them when they designed this outstanding home.  Built by local craftsmen, the home features a very tough to find, wide-open floor plan with a beautiful island kitchen that opens to a spacious dining area and living space.  A covered front porch and soul-soothing screened deck provide additional living space that allows visitors to enjoy the outdoors regardless of weather.  A main floor bedroom is currently purposed as a sitting room but could certainly be used as the master bedroom for single level living.  Two additional bedrooms upstairs provide comfortable accommodations for friends and family.




The walk-out lower level has been completely finished to provide for a home theater area as well as an enormous craft or gaming space.  Big bright windows make it difficult to tell the space is partially below grade.  Unlike many other riverfront offerings, this home was done right from the Anderson windows to the fine carpentry at every turn.

Wander a short pathway through cool cedar forest to some of the finest dry fly water in The Eastern United States.  Prolific insect hatches provide for nearly constant surface feeding to numbers of well educated trout that can reach large proportions.  A large platform at riverside holds a spacious gazebo that is a perfect place for an evening scotch and cigar as you await the hatch...  All in all, this is a must see for anyone considering a full time residence along The Au Sable or an angler who simply doesn't want to sacrifice quality while spending weekends in northern Michigan.
