Property Description
Welcome to one of the most coveted stretches of shoreline on Cathead Bay — a property that blends natural beauty with unmatched exclusivity. Opportunities to own here are few, and this one is extraordinary. The beach is second to none: soft, velvety sand and a gently sloping lakebed that allows you to walk straight into the crystal waters without encountering rocks. This is the kind of shoreline that defines world-class lakefront living. Each evening, breathtaking sunsets unfold over the horizon, with North Fox, South Fox, and North Manitou Islands in silhouette — the kind of views people travel the world to experience, right from your own beach. This private drive is more than just an approach — it’s an arrival. Passing through acres of protected land held by the Leelanau Conservancy, you’ll sense the seclusion and permanence of this special place. A short walk brings you to Leelanau State Park, where forest and shoreline create an almost mystical connection to nature. Whether launching your watercraft into the bay or simply savoring the quiet of this hidden gem, this property offers the rarest luxury of all — complete peace of mind. Note: This is a seasonal cottage, designed for warm-weather enjoyment, and has not been winterized.
