A rare Leelanau Township retreat with acreage, water, privacy, guest space, and future-use potential. Set on 17 acres between Suttons Bay, Omena, and Northport, this move-in-ready property includes a 2-bedroom main home with 2 full baths, flexible additional sleeping/living space, extensive decking, and an eclectic retreat feel. The detached garage includes a legally recognized 1-bedroom accessory dwelling with kitchen/living area, 3/4 bath, separate propane wall furnace, year-round usability, and two separate entrances, creating valuable space for guests, extended stays, multi-generational use, or future rental flexibility. The land offers a strong mix of open meadow and mature woods, with the property line following Belanger Creek, a year-round fast-flowing trout stream reached by a short walk through the wooded portion of the property. Access is by newly replaced year-round gravel driveway across adjacent protected acreage, creating an additional privacy buffer before reaching the homesite. Agricultural zoning/use allows horses and outbuildings, giving a future owner room to create hobby-farm or rural-lifestyle infrastructure if desired. A separate unfinished sauna building adds strong amenity potential, and a former boiler building provides additional storage/future-use flexibility. Functioning solar, underground electric service, propane hot-water heat, and a functional wood cook stove/wood-heat option support the retreat setting; an existing wind system is present for a future owner to evaluate. Point Broadband fiber optic service is available for installation; buyer to verify timing, costs, and service terms. A replacement septic permit has been issued; installation will be buyer responsibility. Seller is pursuing a short-term rental permit. STR use remains subject to Leelanau Township approval, completed septic installation, licensing, and all applicable requirements.
