Built for living year-round in Northern Michigan, this house offers breathtaking sunset views over West Grand Traverse Bay. It includes 200' of private sandy beach, ample deck space, and over 5 acres of old-growth forest. Designed for a working professional, the area over the attached 3 car garage (3 rooms, 2 full bathrooms, kitchenette) can be accessed without walking through the main living quarters. These can be put to whatever purpose your heart desires. The naturally warmed 3 car garage has many drawers for keeping whatever you need, lots of workshop countertop, a built-in chop saw for woodworking, and an separate attached heated storage room. The main living quarters includes the master bedroom; spacious, wonderful views, deck access, lots of closet space. The attached master bathroom has a large Jacuzzi whirlpool tub, walk in shower, two separate vanity sinks, a toilet and a bidet. The master bedroom shares the same hardwood floors as the living room, dining room and kitchen, all milled on-site from the trees that needed to come down to place this house. Just outside the master bedroom is the laundry room, with washer, dryer, and storage. The front door leads past the guest 1/2 bathroom, then to the living room. The living room is very spacious, with vaulted ceiling and skylights. With attached deck, it overlooks the beach and a koi pond with fountain. It also has a marble-enclosed natural fireplace. Next comes the kitchen and dining areas. Spacious, well lit, the kitchen has extensive countertops with a large island, all made from gorgeous star obsidian. Propane cooktop, electric oven, no expenses were considered choosing the included appliances. Along with the many cabinets, the kitchen has a large attached pantry for all your kitchen needs. The water from the private well is delicious, with very low dissolved minerals, but there is a reverse osmosis water filter anyway, supplying a faucet, plus the chilled water and ice cube dispensers on the refrigerator. Attached to the kitchen-dining area is a fully functioning automated greenhouse, with its own separate geothermal heat pump, and reverse osmosis water supply. So you can grow your own herbs year-round, and admire exotic plants while eating dinner. Below the main living quarters is the large partially finished walk out basement. Here, in the utility room, you will find the geothermal heat pumps that quietly and efficiently heat and cool the house and greenhouse. Also a (rarely used) water softener. There is also a central vacuum system, the powerful motor for which is located here. Next to the utility room is a controlled-environment 500 bottle wine cellar, with the perfect conditions for long (or short) term storage for your favorite wines. There are two separate storage rooms, and many shelves for your storage needs. There is also much open floor space in the basement, historically used for a gymnasium, as the coolness of the basement prevents overheating while exercising. Aside from the natural beauty surrounding the house, there are gardens with rhododendrons and a number of other decorative, low-maintenance plants and shrubs. Also included is low-maintenance in-ground irrigation. Along the low-maintenance gravel driveway to the house is a storage pole barn with garage door, for keeping outdoor equipment and toys. The driveway makes a circle in front of the house, making it much easier to access. The owners ask $1,399,000- a very reasonable price for such a rare find.
