Property Description

Set along a coveted stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline between Leland and Northport, Birch House is a nearly new contemporary residence positioned on 3.27 acres with 110 feet of private, sandy frontage. This setting offers an expansive, walkable beach, open water views, and beautiful sunsets. A private wooded drive leads to the home, where a quiet creek winds alongside the property. Wrapped in eastern white cedar shake siding and roofing, the exterior is designed to age naturally, softening into the surrounding landscape with each passing season. Expansive glass openings dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Inside, the design is warm and highly intentional, with a palette of natural stone and white oak flooring and beams throughout. The central living space is anchored by a stone fireplace and opens to a bluestone patio with a built-in grill. The kitchen is defined by a white oak slat ceiling, clean architectural lines, Taj Mahal quartzite surfaces, custom cabinetry, and a fully integrated appliance suite. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with its own balcony overlooking Lake Michigan and a beautifully appointed bath with natural stone and a custom floating vanity. Above the two-car garage, a separate guest residence is equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and balcony that overlooks the water. Designed for efficiency, convenience, and wellness, the home is supported by a multi-zone mechanical system with advanced air filtration, high-performance windows and doors, insulation exceeding standard requirements, and an EV charging station. This home represents a rare alignment of location, land, and design in an immersive and restorative setting, just moments from the villages, wineries, shopping, and dining of the Leelanau Peninsula.
