Built in 1996, this 2500 square foot Lake Leelanau cottage offers 100 feet of private frontage directly on the lake. Lake Leelanau is a 23 mile long, all-sports lake with crystal clear water, natural sandbars, and excellent walleye and smallmouth fishing.
"Merriweather" is located 30 feet from the water's edge with a greenspace that offers lots of natural privacy and attracts an assortment of birds. The lakefront area features a hard sand bottom with shallow water for wading and swimming.
A 60-foot aluminum dock has two 8-foot by 10-foot platforms - one at each end of the dock - which are great for viewing lake activities, watching youngsters at play, or working on a tan! Use of a 14-foot aluminum rowboat, canoe, oars and life preservers is included.
Sleeping areas, each with a full bath (tub and/or shower), are on three levels of living. The upstairs level has one bedroom with a queen bed and trundle beds, and the separate loft has a double-sized futon. The master bedroom on the main level has a king bed. The lower-level has a bedroom with a queen bed and twin bunks. A bonus walk-out living area in the walk-out lower level has two twin beds, a sofa, and a kitchen table and chairs.
The main floor has a fully equipped kitchen with snack bar. The open great room and dining room have sliding glass doors leading to the wrap-around deck which faces the lake.
Nestled across from rolling hills and cherry orchards (prime hiking areas), Merriweather is located within three miles of two public boat launches.
A short drive away are casinos, Lake Michigan, public beaches, the Crystal River, Sleeping Bear National Dunes, golf courses, excellent restaurants, shopping, wineries, art galleries, and Interlochen Arts Academy. Traverse City and Glen Arbor are within 25 miles; Leland and Suttons Bay are within six miles.
