Description
A Private Riverfront Retreat in the Heart of Leelanau County Nestled among the towering pines of Leelanau County and just 15 minutes from vibrant downtown Traverse City, this enchanting 18.41-acre property blends chalet-style charm with the serene beauty of Northern Michigan. Perched above the winding Cedar Run—home to thriving brown, rainbow, and brook trout—this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat boasts 1,940 feet of private riverfront, a tranquil pond, and scenic walking trails through majestic hardwoods and evergreens. A spacious deck and a heated, screened-in porch invite you to soak in breathtaking views year-round. Inside, soaring timber-lined ceilings and a vintage wood-burning fireplace create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area offers generous space for gathering, while the lower level—featuring daylight windows, a wood stove, a laundry room, and ample storage—holds exciting potential for customization. Beyond the home, nature’s beauty unfolds. A weeping willow, birch trees, and pines frame the established garden, leading to the private spring fed pond and a 24x20 pole barn with a workbench and abundant storage for tools, outdoor gear, or creative projects. Evergreens line the driveway, ensuring privacy, yet charming villages, scenic beaches, and endless outdoor adventures are just a short drive away. Whether you dream of peaceful mornings by the river, afternoons exploring Leelanau’s hidden gems, or evenings gathered around the fire, this exceptional property offers an unmatched opportunity to embrace the magic of Northern Michigan. Don’t miss this rare retreat—schedule your showing today!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am so thrilled with my daughter's experience at Long Lake Elementary School. Having moved to TC from a metropolitan area of 3 million people, I was worried about how my non-white daughter would be received at this school. She is definitely one of a very few minorities, but so far it has been a non-issue. She has been treated with kindness and respect by staff and students alike, and she is surpassing our expectations academically. The principal is very communicative and caring. We are so happy with Long Lake Elementary!Parent Review1y ago - West Middle School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wanted to give my piece, because from my observations, this school provides more opportunities and support than I ever had. The students complain about the food even though they are provided with multiple hot lunch choices every day along with an extensive salad bar. They complain about the teaching, even though the students having issues are often blatantly disrespectful and give little to no effort to their studies. They complain about drama even though it's a middle school and they are the ones creating it. There is a huge variety of students that allow for differentiation and different friend groups. Thay complain about discrimination and bullying, but from what I've seen, most students leave other students to themselves. I was honestly impressed by how little bullying there was. They say in these reviews that there are no supports and the teachers are apathetic, but the students have designated areas they can go for both emotional and Acedemic support both during and after class; a system that is often abused by students who simply don't wish to learn. There is no question that the available office staff and teachers are giving everything they have to try and support these students. I think the real issue here is the demographic and staffing. The Traverse area has an economic issue that isn't being solved, in fact it's getting worse, and the people most harmed by it are the students and their families.Other Review11mo ago - Traverse City High School
