Listing Description
Perched atop a scenic hill along the iconic Leelanau TART Trail, this extraordinary 20-acre property offers the rare combination of privacy, recreation, and sustainable country living just minutes from both Traverse City and Suttons Bay. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and unwind with glowing sunsets as the seasons unfold from the comfort of your living room picture window overlooking rolling countryside, distant Lake Leelanau water views and trail views. Situated directly at mile 9 of the TART Trail, essentially the midpoint between Traverse City and Suttons Bay, this property is a dream setting for outdoor enthusiasts. Ski, bike, and run directly from your doorstep while enjoying the peace of being surrounded by nature. Nestled between blossoming cherry orchards to the east and vineyards to the west, the setting captures the very essence of Leelanau County living. The land features a thriving, no-spray chestnut orchard with approximately 350 producing trees, along with extensive recent improvements completed in partnership with the NRCS. Projects from 2023–2025 include invasive autumn olive removal and maintenance, installation of a 2.5-acre fenced rotational grazing pasture seeded with timothy and ladino clover, piped water service to the pasture, fenced goat area with new goat barn, and thoughtful land stewardship throughout. Remodeled in 2022, the 5-bedroom, 2-bath home blends warmth and functionality with modern updates and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Recent improvements include a new garage, front entry, expansive picture window, bamboo living room flooring, wood stove, remodeled primary bedroom, new basement bedroom, upstairs shower renovation, gutters, sauna, detached studio space, and a whimsical treehouse tucked into the property. Great additions to the property are the tiny home office/studio and sauna! This is a truly unique Leelanau County retreat ready to expand your hobby farm, recreation lifestyle or homestead vision!
