Property Description
A Waterfront Masterpiece | Custom-Designed Estate on Lake Michigan's Bluff | 210+' Private Sandy Frontage A rare convergence of location, design, and land on the Lake Michigan coastline. This custom-designed estate has undergone a complete, architect-level remodel, delivering new-construction quality on a private bluff with sweeping, panoramic westerly views of Lake Michigan. Spanning over 5,000 sq ft, the home offers expansive living spaces for both quiet retreat and grand entertainment: a custom craftsman kitchen with high-end appliances and luxury finishes, sunlit eat-in area, formal dining room, multiple family gathering spaces, and a large, screened porch. A large primary suite with a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom anchors the main level, complemented by beamed ceilings, a curated mix of hardwood, tile, and carpet flooring, and two gas fireplaces — one on each level. The fully finished lower level offers flexibility without compromising the home's luxury character. Set on 4 acres of hardwood and evergreen landscape, the property delivers over 210 feet of private, sandy Lake Michigan frontage — a rare combination of scale, privacy, and true water shoreline. Outdoor amenities include a beautifully landscaped with mulched paths, a circular drive with ample guest parking, multiple decks, and a patio with firepit. A new steel seawall, riprap rock, and stairway provide direct access to the beach below. This is a true four-season basecamp for Northern Michigan living — minutes to downtown Frankfort's harbor and dining, a scenic drive to Traverse City's wine country, and with world-class golf, skiing, and coastal recreation nearby you will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors any season of the year. This is more than a home — it's a legacy waterfront estate.
