Discover the perfect getaway in Northern Michigan at our recently renovated mid-century modern home, complete with panoramic views of West Bay and nestled on a private sprawling 58-acre property. We invite you to be our guest and relish the charms of this serene retreat, featuring a top-tier chef's kitchen equipped with a 48" Thermador range with dual ovens. A magnificent stone wood-burning fireplace in the living room provides both warmth and ambiance, creating the perfect setting for relaxation and reflection.

For nature enthusiasts, this property is a haven, offering 58 acres of pristine woodlands with winding trails that meander through a mature hardwood forest, rolling hills, and captivating vistas of West Bay. During the fall, the colors are spectacular and you won't need to leave the property to see the best Northern Michigan has to offer. Keep an eye out for our esteemed residents, Harry and Harriet, the mature bald eagles, who call our property home and whose nest can be seen from the living and dining room windows. Since we've owned the property, Harry and Harriet have produced 2 or 3 eaglets each year in early spring (Mar-May).

A quarter-mile private blacktop driveway winds through picturesque terrain, leading to the house, which sits ~ 400 feet above the water. From here, you can revel in panoramic views of the turquoise and blue hues of West Bay from one of the highest points in Leelanau County. Thunderstorms are amazing to watch from this elevation overlooking West Bay.

**A short drive away lies the Sleeping Bear Dunes, recently hailed as one of the most beautiful places in the country by Good Morning America!**
