A long, winding drive delivers you to a private retreat where Lake Michigan views set the backdrop for everyday living. Surrounded by mature trees and thoughtful landscaping, this home balances seclusion with convenience - offering the peace of 9 acre estate setting while being only minutes from downtown Harbor Springs and Petoskey. From nearly every room, sweeping views of Little Traverse Bay create a sense of calm and connection to the water rarely found at this scale. Inside, custom design by Nick White and craftsmanship by Behan Construction blend comfort and elegance. The main level features a dining room framed by bay views, a welcoming sitting room with fireplace, and a spacious kitchen with granite flooring, custom cabinetry, island, breakfast nook, and wet bar - designed as much for gathering as for cooking. The primary suite offers a private sanctuary with expansive water views, a walk-in closet, and a well-appointed ensuite. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms include a jack-and-jill layout plus a private ensuite, ensuring space and privacy throughout. Multiple living areas extend outdoors, from a new composite deck overlooking the bay to a finished walkout lower level with patio access. Whether working quietly in the study or entertaining on the back deck, every corner of this property is intentional and inviting. An attached three-car garage, meticulous landscaping, and proximity to beaches, dining, and year-round recreation complete the offering. 731 W Hathaway Road is more than a home - it's a place where Northern Michigan luxury meets comfort, privacy, and connection to the bay.
