Property Description

Set along 100 feet of pristine, sugar-sand shoreline on Lake Michigan at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, this Cathead Bay estate offers a rare blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and natural beauty across approximately 4,480 square feet. The shoreline features a smooth, rock-free, gradual entry-ideal for swimming. Tucked along a private road, this custom-built home is designed to capture its surroundings, with due west exposure delivering panoramic sunset views to the Manitou and Fox Islands, where freighters and sailboats become part of the seascape. To the east, several thousand acres of protected state land-undeveloped and not open to public access-provide a permanent, unspoiled backdrop of dunes and forest. Outdoor living is central, with sunrise decks overlooking the eastern dunes and expansive west-facing decks. A private primary suite deck (2022) offers a secluded vantage point for evening skies and occasional northern lights. Inside, 10-foot ceilings on the main level and 9-foot ceilings above and below create a sense of scale. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main living area, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite includes a sitting area, screened porch, spa-style bath, and dedicated climate control. Additional features include in-floor radiant heat, central air, high-speed fiber internet, smart home integration by Waara Technologies, elevator (2021), and a lower-level media room with a wet bar. A detached two-car garage with a guest house (2 bedrooms, 1 bath, 576 square feet), connected by a deck bridge, provides space for guests or rental income (approximately $16,000 annually). Minutes from Northport, Leland, the Grand Traverse Lighthouse, wineries, and dunes, this is a rare legacy waterfront offering in one of Northern Michigans most tightly held locations.
