Absolutely beautiful, charming, cozy, and unique Craftsman cottages along the “gold coast” of Little Traverse Lake and in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This enclave of Little Traverse Lake has sweeping views of Sugar Loaf mountain, clear waters, and a soft, sandy entrance. There’s also a path just across from the home that leads to unobstructed, park owned Lake Michigan beaches on Good Harbor Bay and winding, hiking trails throughout the area, allowing for the best of both waterfront worlds in northern Michigan.

This is one “home” with several fun, different spaces. The main home has lovely views of the lake, houses a living room with wood burning fireplace, dining area, spacious kitchen, den, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an oversized mudroom. There is also central heat and air, with the heating being run by a boiler system.

The second space is a guest home with bedroom area, living space, half bathroom, and a loft with ladder, perfect for kids or extra storage! The access to a full bathroom with shower is just across the walkway.

The third space is an oversized, two car garage with separate door/entry to an additional living space with a full bathroom/shower.

The fourth space is our favorite part – the “boathouse”! Set along the lakeshore, it has a modernized, glass garage door that opens to the water, and has a fantastic aesthetic. Currently, it is used for dining, relaxing, and entertaining, with another half bathroom and outdoor shower, perfect for hosting!

Finally, there is a tool shed and additional space behind the guest house that could also serve as a workout space/gym, or home office.

The lot of this home is deep, and there’s a long driveway through the woods, which is actually two separate parcels (each part of this sale). There are so many other wonderful attributes to note, including 16 solar panels, mini heat and air splits in the additional buildings, wood stoves in the out-buildings, tankless water heaters, programmable thermostats, rain water collection, and more!

Walk to Market 22 for great sandwiches and pizza, to Little Traverse Inn for dinner, cocktails, and live music on the patio, drive 5 minutes in to Maple City for supplies or to Pegtown Station for breakfast, 10 minutes in to Glen Arbor to all its restaurants, shops, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes, 10 minutes to Leland, or 30 minutes in to Traverse City. This really is in the epicenter of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, tucked away in a quiet, serene location.

DO NOT miss out on this rare property and opportunity!
