About this property

Allium Hill House, Chef's vineyard estate, king suites, great for groups



*Designer luxury boutique hotel feel - newly gut renovated - multiple king en suites



*On 10-acre private estate with vineyard and gardens - outdoor dining - fire pit - immersed in trees



*Perfect Leelanau location - central to wine tasting, beaches, hiking, TART trail, biking, 15 min to downtown TC and Suttons Bay

With beautifully curated interior and magical outdoor spaces, this stylish, gut renovated home sits on a private 10-acre country estate. A tree-lined driveway brings you past the estate vineyard and modern barn to the fully renovated, 5-bedroom, 5-bath house, peacefully secluded from the working part of the farm. Enter an exclusive rural paradise with 360 degree views of woods and countryside, back deck overlooking endless trees and expansive front lawn with fire-pit and magic hour views.



Taken down to the studs and imaginatively redesigned with comfort, luxury, and playfulness in mind, we have completely transformed the original house from the 1970s to create a unique environment where city vibes meet rustic Leelanau roots.



Designed for adult groups of 8-10, every detail of the house is thoughtfully considered and artfully appointed featuring designer finishes, Toto toilets, fully tiled walk-in showers, and newly furnished with a mix of current and vintage finds.



**A one-of-a-kind setting for your next group vacation - full of beauty, comfort, luxury and the personal touches of high-end hospitality.**
