Do you love the idea of breathtaking views of eagles, freighters, the Chicago to Mackinac race, and rock hunting on your private Great Lake beach but also want the fun of boating on an inland lake? Here you can do both as this spectacular home is complete with 240 feet of private sandy Lake Michigan frontage and 180 feet of privately shared frontage on North Lake Leelanau. Stroll the sandy beach along the “big” lake or take advantage of the private association’s dock on Lake Leelanau with boat slip availability where you can swim, sun, sail, kayak, motor or paddle to your heart’s content! Also shared through association membership is acreage in which to enjoy walks, croquet, or baseball and a tennis/pickleball court with a basketball net, too! A group of notable Detroiters chose this area with its sap-filled Maple trees as a respite from city life and named it Sugar Bush Association in 1936. This tranquil spacious home was one of the earliest built on the association owned tree lined lane. It has over 3600 sq. ft. of living space and gorgeous water views seen from almost every room. While retaining the charm of the original house, nearly the entire exterior and interior of this home, including the chimney, was custom designed and remodeled in 1994 by architect Larry Graves and Easling Construction. Main floor offers gracious living spaces, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and main floor laundry. Upper level includes a large primary suite with private entrance, bath, walk-in closet and private balcony as well as family room/library, 2 bedrooms, and cedar closet. Outdoor features views of Manitou and Fox islands plus stunning sunsets, star gazing, professionally engineered staircase to Lake MI, automatic generator, and secondary garage for your toys! Located near Clay Cliffs and Houdek Natural Areas and only a 2.5 mile walk/bike/drive to Leland, known for scenic “Fishtown”. This well-built Northern Michigan home is ready for you!
