かわいい、静かな、太陽がLelandについて素晴らしいことすべてから家の階段をいっぱいにしました。

We’re old Leland hands, going back several generations, to about 1898. Our present house was built in 1972, when my parents decided to be the first in the family to stay the winter; they loved the year-round life in Leland and so did I as a youngster. I went off to MSU, grad school in Arizona, and a stint in Mexico City, but could not resist the pull of Leland, so returned several years ago. My wife and I now share the beauty and wonderful life of the north, enjoying sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, biking and gardening during the warm months. Wintertime brings skiing, snowboarding, and skating, with lots of warming up by the fire afterwards. Five grandchildren try to keep up with us!

This property was part of a large parcel of land in Leland, much of which is still owned by my grandmother’s family, the Chandlers. The house was built as a retirement spot by my parents and eventually was passed on to me.

This special spot is hard to beat in Leland, or anywhere in the world for that matter. The gentle breezes and deep blue skies have an effect on the soul that never leaves. Wander down Juniper Trail to the lake or to town, you won’t be sorry.
