About this property
Sunset Dreams, Forest Breezes!
Nestled high on a rolling forest Dune's Hill, with panoramic Lake Michigan views, this peaceful Northern Michigan retreat awaits your visit. Resting along the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Forest, this home oversees the charming village of Empire at M-22 & M-72. After a day at Empire Beach, BBQ / lounge on the forest side shaded patio, then wrap up your long lazy Northern Michigan day by taking in a dreamy and serene Sunset as it "Sinks into the drink" from huge Lake side Porch.
Custom Built in 2005, home offers 2000+ Spacious Square feet of living space. The large front patio wraps around the whole front of the home and is accessible from the living room, dining room and Master bedroom too.
The two tiered back patio is shaded by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Forest, (where BBQ Grill is located) ideal for cool comfortable BBQ, wine/beer sipping or just taking a nap in the comfy deck chairs.
Large two car garage to park vehicles in.
