Presenting a once-in-a-lifetime Leelanau County estate with unmatched water views. Perched atop nearly 19 acres of rolling, private land, this extraordinary 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom ranch estate offers panoramic views that are simply unparalleled, with sweeping vistas of Lake Leelanau, Lake Michigan, the Manitou Islands, and the sand dunes of Pyramid Point -- all from a single, breathtaking vantage point. Watch colors change and sunlight dazzle on the water, ending each day with a spectacular sunset over Lake Michigan. Other property features include a 24x30x18 steel barn, active lavender garden, a terraced garden, recently planted grape vines and an expansive back deck overlooking a small pond with waterfall feature. Designed with a timeless blend of classic architecture and mid-century modern charm, this 5,040 sq. ft. home is currently a full time primary residence while also operating as a successful bed and breakfast, thoughtfully divided into an "owner's side" (2 bed/2 bath) and a "guest side" (4 bed/3 bath). The layout of the home allows for new owners to easily continue the bed and breakfast operation or instead use the entire home as a personal estate. The extravagant chef's kitchen (literally.. the home was originally owned by a retired White House chef!) with Thermador appliances, a large island and butler's pantry is perfectly set up for hosting and cooking for large gatherings. Features include double wall ovens, a 6 burner cook top, 2 built in Subzero refrigerators, 2 Subzero freezers, granite counters and beautiful cabinetry. The enormous great room is sure to be a popular gathering spot with its stunning stone surround fireplace, vaulted ceilings, extensive built-in shelving and beautiful views of the grounds & water beyond. The living room off of the kitchen features a second gas fireplace and is adjacent to one of two dining areas.
