7838 S Lakeview Rd, Traverse City, MI 49684
What's special
Very rarely does a property on South Lake Leelanau check this many boxes at once. 100 feet of west-facing lake frontage, crystal-clear water just steps from the back deck, a beautifully landscaped and exceptionally level lot, a separate guest house with its own kitchen, and a private boat launch. All tucked along coveted Lakeview Road, just minutes from Traverse City, with Tart Trail access for outdoor enthusiasts. Walk out the back door with your coffee and you’re at the lake. The private boat launch makes it easy to get your boat, kayaks, paddleboards, or jet skis in and out of the water. No stairs required. Spend the morning on the water, take a swim, then relax in the hammock beneath the mature trees while the kids play across the expansive, level lawn. As the afternoon fades, fire up the grill, grab a seat on the deck, and settle in for the nightly show as the sun sets over Lake Leelanau. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home has been updated with new flooring and paint, with expansive lake views throughout. The eat-in kitchen, living room, and primary suite each offer incredible views of the water. The living room adds a gas-log fireplace and built-in bookcases, while the primary suite has an attached bath and a door wall that opens directly to the deck. Just steps away, the 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest house includes a full kitchen and offers flexibility for guests, family, or potential short-term rental use. Bingham Township allows short-term rentals subject to applicable requirements and permitting. Offered fully furnished, the property also includes a concrete driveway with ample parking, irrigation, and a barrel sauna. Level grounds make it easy to move between the home, lawn, dock, and water. Properties offering this combination of features are exceptionally limited on South Lake Leelanau. When one comes along, the opportunity may not come around again for years.
