Features include natural gas forced-air heat, wood stove, window air conditioning, cable internet reported available, crawl space foundation, publicly maintained blacktop road frontage, and a level village lot.

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 an unfinished 4th bath & 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

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.
