3 Beds 2 Baths 1947298 MLS N/A BLDG.
Wonderful south-shore Little Traverse Lake cottage on 57 feet of sandy frontage. Though the 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath cottage dates to a bygone era of wooden boats and dirt roads, it has been thoughtfully updated and lovingly maintained and sits on a more modern foundation, having been moved to its present location in the 1990s. The large deck, lakeside lawn with a sandy beach area and fire pit, offer ample room for gathering. The property is centrally located between Leland and Glen Arbor, making accessible so many of Leelanau's attractions, Lake Michigan beaches, hiking trails and it's only a stone's throw from the beloved Market 22 and its wonderful pizza, sandwiches and weekend brunch. In addition to being a family retreat for the owners the past 20 years, it has a solid rental history with many long-time returning guests.

3 Beds 2 Baths 1945861 MLS N/A BLDG.
This newly constructed, efficiently scaled 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath cottage (completed in 2023) sits on 3.11 private acres with approximately 200 feet of frontage on Little Traverse Lake, just one mile from the northern entrance of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and direct access to the park’s bike trail. Inside, the home features 9-foot ceilings on the main level, vaulted ceilings upstairs, and a bright open-concept layout designed to maximize natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. The kitchen includes a large island, butcher block and quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant storage. A dishwasher could be added beneath the island if desired. The home offers approximately 500 square feet per level, creating an intentionally compact and low-maintenance layout that emphasizes connection to the surrounding landscape. The main living space opens directly to a covered rear deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. A large covered front porch provides additional space for relaxing and enjoying sunsets and the natural surroundings. The home is inspired by a historic Michigan kit home design, thoughtfully reinterpreted with modern systems and high-quality materials. Architectural details include exposed rafter tails, large frieze boards, and solid wood, hand-stained entry doors that emphasize craftsmanship and durability. The lower level is a tall crawl space (approximately 5’10” ceiling height) and includes laundry and mechanicals. A private boardwalk leads through native wetlands to the shoreline of Little Traverse Lake, offering a quiet and immersive connection to the water. Additional structures include an unfinished garden shed and fenced garden area, with ample room for future expansion. This property offers a rare combination of new construction, architectural character, privacy, and an unmatched location near Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan shoreline, and one of northern Michigan’s most desirable recreation corridors.
