Welcome to your peaceful Cedar Creek retreat, where privacy, nature, and convenience meet in perfect harmony. This charming home is set on 28.8 acres, with 24.4 acres protected by the Leelanau Conservancy so the land will remain untouched and undeveloped for generations. A woodland management plan is in place, adding to its versatility. The remaining 4.4 acres surrounding the home have no deed restrictions, giving you freedom to create and develop as you wish. An added bonus is that just across the road, over 200 acres of State Land await, offering even more outdoor adventure without any upkeep. Whether you envision hiking, looking for mushrooms, or hunting, this setting offers a nature filled lifestyle. Get ready to enjoy fresh eggs from your own feathered flock with the in-place chicken coop. An outdoor building on the property offers endless possibilities--transform it into a hobby space, art studio, "she shed," "man cave," or whatever fits your lifestyle. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated to blend rustic charm with modern comfort. A brand-new well and water system, new appliances, and the cozy efficiency of a wood boiler and boiler system make everyday living easy and enjoyable. Upstairs, new insulation ensures year-round comfort, while fresh flooring throughout--laminate and preserved original wood--replaces outdated carpet, adding warmth and style to every room. While no new buildings can be added to the Conservancy easement, you won't miss them--this property's natural beauty is the real centerpiece. Wander along Cedar Creek, watch deer graze from your porch, or gather friends for evenings under the stars. Best of all, you're less than twenty minutes from Traverse City, with its shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Whether you're seeking a peaceful year-round residence or a weekend escape, this property offers modern updates, timeless character, and unmatched privacy in a truly exceptional location. Your escape to nature begins here!
