31.76 acres in Leelanau Township with a mix of open field, evergreen screening, mature trees, fruit trees, a large black walnut tree, and a smaller lowland area that appears wetland-like. This is a land-first property for a buyer who values privacy, varied land character, conservation-minded ownership, and long-term land stewardship, with an existing home that presents a significant renovation, repurposing, or replacement decision. The existing 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 1,200 square feet and should be considered a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in-ready residence. Buyers should evaluate whether renovation, repurposing, or replacement best supports their intended use of the property. The land is the defining feature. A substantial portion is open field, with additional wooded and evergreen cover and a smaller lowland area. The mix creates privacy, varied land character, and visible wildlife activity, including deer signs observed on the property. The open acreage may offer possibilities for pasture, gardens, meadow, hobby-farm use, recreation, or other rural uses. The property is located in a residential-agricultural zoning district that may allow a range of rural residential and agricultural uses. One small outbuilding remains on the property and may provide storage or utility space. Two deteriorated outbuildings have collapsed or partially collapsed and should be considered removal/demolition items. Buyers should also be prepared for remaining cleanup associated with the deteriorated structures. Fiber internet is available in the area, with service and activation to be verified by the buyer. Well/septic point-of-sale inspection has been ordered but is not yet complete.

Step inside this Northport, Leelanau County cottage and the sparkling blue bay is impossible to ignore. Brick detail, exposed beams, and warm wood ceilings carry through the interior, and a sunken living room sets the main level apart from the typical lakefront layout, adding depth to the sight lines that stretch toward the water. Water stays central to the design throughout. The kitchen, dining area, great room, and sunken living room are all oriented toward the bay, and a gas see-through fireplace ties two of the main rooms together, echoing the home's layered, intentional feel. With all 4 bedrooms on the main level, the roughly 2,400 finished square feet live open and easy, the floor plan working with the water views rather than around them. Outside, multi-level decking stretches the living space toward 120 feet of sandy Grand Traverse Bay frontage, while a boat house (a rare feature) keeps kayaks, paddle boards & small watercraft covered and within reach of the beach. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off simple, and the walkout lower level, with its own bath and storage, keeps sand from making its way into the main living areas. The double lot, totaling half and acre, provides room to breath. Year-round comfort comes by way of boiler heat, private well & septic, and a detached 2+ car garage, with the flexibility to use the home seasonally or full-time. Membership in Cherry Home Shores brings shared beaches, pickleball courts, parks, trails & a clubhouse.. the community has a quaint, nostalgic up north summer camp feel! A restriction on short-term rentals keeps the community quiet and residential. Downtown Northport, the marina, area wineries, golf, dining, Leelanau State Park & the Grand Traverse Lighthouse are all a short drive away. This is a home with real character. Brick, wood & water come together here in a way that feels harmonious and grounding from the moment you walk in. More information about Cherry Homes on their website: cherryhomeshores.com

Rarely does a property blend timeless character with waterfront living so effortlessly. Set on 2.33 private acres with 165 feet of Northport Bay frontage and a winding creek, this historic A-frame cottage is a truly rare offering. The experience begins long before you reach the front door. Crossing a quaint bridge over the winding creek, the peaceful approach winds beneath a canopy of hardwoods and pines before arriving at a charming vintage barn and nostalgic camp-style carport. This storybook entrance captures the spirit of classic Northern Michigan retreats, setting the stage for the iconic A-frame nestled naturally into its surroundings. Inside, the cottage features one bedroom plus a loft, soaring beamed ceilings with birch accents, hardwood floors, new Andersen windows and sliders, and a beautifully remodeled kitchen with new custom solid wood cabinetry and counters. A propane stove with brick chimney adds warmth and character, while the durable metal roof provides lasting comfort. Outdoor living shines with a new waterside deck, creekside deck, private outdoor shower, and trails and bridges along the winding creek. Swim, boat, and enjoy sweeping views toward Northport Point, with a front-row seat to Northport's iconic Fourth of July fireworks. Historic A-frame cottages with this level of privacy, character, acreage and waterfront setting are exceptionally rare—a true Northern Michigan legacy retreat that combines vintage camp charm with timeless waterfront living.
Highly usable private Grand Traverse Bay frontage is increasingly difficult to replace, and this Cherry Home Shores property offers 120 feet of it: sandy shoreline, sandy bottom, clear water, walk-in swimming, and usable beach area for sitting, swimming, and enjoying the bay. Set across two Cherry Home Shores lots, the property offers rare frontage width and long-term ownership flexibility for a buyer who understands the value of private waterfront and is willing to take on a significant project. The existing 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage is heated by wood stove only and may serve for simple cottage use while buyers evaluate renovation or rebuild options. The primary value is the land, frontage, shoreline usability, and future ownership opportunity rather than the current structure. Existing septic will need replacement; point-of-sale report, replacement estimate, and permit for replacing the existing system are available in associated documents. Buyer to verify all septic requirements, replacement costs, zoning, setbacks, well, association rules, township requirements, and all applicable approvals for renovation, rebuild, or future use. Ownership in Cherry Home Shores includes shared beaches, parks, trails, clubhouse, tennis courts, common areas, and lake privileges. Cherry Home Shores restricts short-term rentals. This is not simply a cottage purchase; it is an opportunity to create a long-term ownership experience around private Grand Traverse Bay frontage with shoreline usability that will likely matter long after the existing structure changes.

Enjoy walkable village living with practical Northport Bay access from a spacious 0.36-acre corner lot at Sixth Street and North Shore, just one block from public street-end access at Fifth Street and Seventh Street. This location offers a practical way to enjoy Northport Bay while staying in the heart of the village, with an easy walk or golf-cart ride to downtown Northport, the marina, parks, restaurants, shops, and beaches. The nearby public street-end access points provide a practical way to swim, launch a kayak or paddleboard, sit by the water, or enjoy the bay without the hassle of driving or parking. Rather than simply being near the water, this location supports a practical Northport Bay ownership pattern where many daily waterfront activities can be enjoyed without maintaining direct waterfront. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been extensively improved over time while preserving its Northport character. Improvements include updated electrical, plumbing, insulation, windows, doors, roof, Hardie board siding, kitchen, baths, flooring, heating system, ductwork, trim, main-floor laundry, and a 42-foot front porch. The main floor includes a bedroom, full bath, laundry, and flexible space that could serve as an office, den, visiting guest space, or potential fourth bedroom. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath are upstairs. A properly installed wood stove adds warmth, character, and backup heat during outages. The established gardens and plantings create a private village setting, with room to tailor portions of the outdoor space for lawn, patio, outdoor dining, or gathering areas. Combined with an attached two-car garage, municipal water/sewer, natural gas forced-air heat, central air, sidewalks, and a convenient corner location, this is a property designed for comfortable year-round living, an easy seasonal retreat, or flexible space close to Northport Bay.

Improvements include updated electrical, plumbing, insulation, windows, doors, roof, Hardie board siding, kitchen, baths, flooring, heating system, ductwork, trim, main-floor laundry, and a 42-foot front porch. The main floor includes a bedroom, full bath, laundry, and flexible space that could serve as an office, den, visiting guest space, or potential fourth bedroom. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath are upstairs. A properly installed wood stove adds warmth, character, and backup heat during outages. The established gardens and plantings create a private village setting, with room to tailor portions of the outdoor space for lawn, patio, outdoor dining, or gathering areas. Combined with an attached two-car garage, municipal water/sewer, natural gas forced-air heat, central air, sidewalks, and a convenient corner location, this is a property designed for comfortable year-round living, an easy seasonal retreat, or flexible space close to Northport Bay.
Built by Samuel Scott of Scott Carpentry, this new Village of Northport home reflects nearly a decade of finish carpentry experience on high-end waterfront homes along Northport Bay, Omena Bay, and Suttons Bay. That attention to detail carries through the full construction process, including double-stud wall construction for maximum energy efficiency. The main level offers 1,133 finished square feet with two bedrooms, each with its own private bath, plus an additional half bath. Hardwood floors run through the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms, and the kitchen features quartz countertops. The primary bedroom opens to a private rear deck overlooking the quiet natural setting behind the home.
