A Private Riverfront Retreat in the Heart of Leelanau County Nestled among the towering pines of Leelanau County and just 15 minutes from vibrant downtown Traverse City, this enchanting 18.41-acre property blends chalet-style charm with the serene beauty of Northern Michigan. Perched above the winding Cedar Run—home to thriving brown, rainbow, and brook trout—this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat boasts 1,940 feet of private riverfront, a tranquil pond, and scenic walking trails through majestic hardwoods and evergreens. A spacious deck and a heated, screened-in porch invite you to soak in breathtaking views year-round. Inside, soaring timber-lined ceilings and a vintage wood-burning fireplace create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area offers generous space for gathering, while the lower level—featuring daylight windows, a wood stove, a laundry room, and ample storage—holds exciting potential for customization. Beyond the home, nature’s beauty unfolds. A weeping willow, birch trees, and pines frame the established garden, leading to the private spring fed pond and a 24x20 pole barn with a workbench and abundant storage for tools, outdoor gear, or creative projects. Evergreens line the driveway, ensuring privacy, yet charming villages, scenic beaches, and endless outdoor adventures are just a short drive away. Whether you dream of peaceful mornings by the river, afternoons exploring Leelanau’s hidden gems, or evenings gathered around the fire, this exceptional property offers an unmatched opportunity to embrace the magic of Northern Michigan.
