Custom built in 2022 and featured in a multi-page lifestyle magazine spread, this estate offers a true resort-inspired lifestyle just minutes from downtown Traverse City. Surrounded by thousands of acres of state land and nestled among trees, the nearly 4,000-square-foot home combines luxury, privacy, and recreation in one setting. The step-free home features a grand chef's kitchen with a stunning 14-foot island, spacious butler's pantry, fireplace-centered great room, and seven oversized sliding doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. All four bedrooms are positioned along the back of the home with private sliding-door access to the patio. The split-floor-plan design offers a luxurious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath on one wing, while a private guest suite with its own bath occupies the opposite side. Eight-foot doors throughout further enhance the home's spacious feel. Step outside to your own private resort. The beautifully landscaped grounds showcase a heated in-ground pool with an automatic cover for easy maintenance, a covered back patio, and peaceful wooded surroundings with only sounds of nature. The fenced-in rear acreage could easily be converted into a horse pasture. Horses are welcome here, making this an ideal property for equestrian enthusiasts. Follow a private path to a secluded stage tucked among the trees, complete with electricity—an unforgettable setting for gatherings. The impressive 2,240-square-foot heated pole barn expands the property's versatility, featuring finished spaces perfect for guest accommodations, a she-shed, man cave, hobby rooms, or creative studios. Rarely does a property combine magazine-worthy design, resort-style amenities, equestrian potential, exceptional privacy, and proximity to Traverse City. This is more than a home—it's a destination.
