Why they chose this property
Sleeping Bear Dunes is one of my favorite places in Michigan. The aqua blue water, miles of shoreline, and picturesque sunsets can't be beat! After visiting my friend's property over the years on Platte Lake, I was excited when this little spot came up for sale so that I too could provide a fun and relaxing space for friends and family. I also love to kitesurf and one of the best spots in Michigan is 8 minutes down the road!
