About this property

Exceptional waterfront retreat with a flat sandy beach only steps from the deck!

MEMORY MAKER! This exceptional waterfront retreat rests atop a picturesque peninsula that noses its way into the crystal clear, spring fed waters of a sprawling all-sports lake. The 160' of prime frontage rims sandy-bottomed shallows perfect for swimming. Designed to capture lake views from almost every vantage point, and outfitted with high-end finishes, the architectural style incorporates soaring 30' ceilings, breathtaking walls of windows, loft overlook and a gourmet kitchen for the aspiring chef.

On the outskirts of the renowned resort town and culinary destination of Traverse City, this is the perfect setting to create memories that will be treasured for a lifetime! Enjoy the holiday of a lifetime! Our beautiful home can be your next vacation spot.

Located on a point, perfectly positioned on Spider Lake, a large all sports lake just outside Traverse City. Close enough to TC and all the wonderful amenities this great city has to offer yet far enough to feel like you're away from it all. Plus outdoor activities galore including world class golf, proximity to "the big lake" and Grand Traverse Bay, dunes, parks, hiking, snowmobiling and more. Come and enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully-furnished, 4 bedroom/ 3.5 bath.

The master bedroom includes an exotic king-sized, four poster bed from Asia, a private full bath, plenty of closet space and direct, uninterrupted views of Spider Lake and the big lake front deck.
The remaining bedrooms are furnished with designer touches.

The living room is furnished with everything you'll need to relax.

The huge and completed furnished kitchen comes with a perfect view of the lake and beach. Granite counter tops complete the scene.

2 1/2 stall garage provides protected parking as well as space for the kayaks.

Spend the day on the lake, swimming, fishing, boating. There are several vendors in the area that offer boat rental. Please inquire with us and we'll make a recommendation. Lastly, please note: there is no longer a hot tub on the property.

Peace and fun by the lake
The place was perfect for our stay. Equal distance to TC and the horse show, it was convenient for restaurants and shuffling around. The house is well appointed, clean and the owner was super responsive. Mostly, it's beautiful and peaceful. Would definitely return!
