Traverse City House | Spectacular West Bay views on 58 wooded acres! 10 mins to downtown TC

4 Bedroom House in Traverse City

Discover the perfect getaway in Northern Michigan at our recently renovated mid-century modern home, complete with panoramic views of West Bay and nestled on a private sprawling 58-acre property. We invite you to be our guest and relish the charms of this serene retreat, featuring a top-tier chef's kitchen equipped with a 48" Thermador range with dual ovens. A magnificent stone wood-burning fireplace in the living room provides both warmth and ambiance, creating the perfect setting for relaxation and reflection.
For nature enthusiasts, this property is a haven, offering 58 acres of pristine woodlands with winding trails that meander through a mature hardwood forest, rolling hills, and captivating vistas of West Bay. During the fall, the colors are spectacular and you won't need to leave the property to see the best Northern Michigan has to offer. Keep an eye out for our esteemed residents, Harry and Harriet, the mature bald eagles, who call our property home and whose nest can be seen from the living and dining room windows. Since we've owned the property, Harry and Harriet have produced 2 or 3 eaglets each year in early spring (Mar-May).
A quarter-mile private blacktop driveway winds through picturesque terrain, leading to the house, which sits ~ 400 feet above the water. From here, you can revel in panoramic views of the turquoise and blue hues of West Bay from one of the highest points in Leelanau County. Thunderstorms are amazing to watch from this elevation overlooking West Bay.
**A short drive away lies the Sleeping Bear Dunes, recently hailed as one of the most beautiful places in the country by Good Morning America!**

Summary: We arrived with high expectations given all of the positive reviews, and our experience still far exceeded our expectations. Starting with the rental itself, the home was very clean and comfortable with a homey and cozy feeling. The home was nicely decorated with a mid century type of decor, and every amenity we could have needed and more was included. The kitchen had top end commercial grade appliances, the bed was very comfortable, and the views were stunning. The location was perfect for a quick drive into Traverse City or to explore the Leelanau peninsula.And of course I have to mention the eagles! It was such a unique experience to be able to watch an active eagles’ nest right from the dining room window. The eaglets turned 2 weeks old during our stay. It was so relaxing to sit down with a cup of coffee in the morning and watch Harry and Harriet delivering food, feeding the babies, perching on nearby trees, and soaring over the bay.
