A farmstead with a whopping 217 acres is for sale in the heart of the county.

The charming 104-year-old, 3-bed, 2-bath farmhouse has been thoroughly updated for modern living while retaining its historic charm. It also includes multiple large outbuildings tied to its agricultural roots.

And while the buildings offer a lot to work with, it’s the land that’s arguably the most exciting. Long a working orchard, the land is still planted and productive. Areas of the property have sweeping views of Lake Michigan, the Manitou Islands and Pyramid Point. It’s also touted as a fantastic hunting property, as many rural farms are.

Listing agents suggest this property would be a great use for some form of agri-tourism. It is protected by a conservation easement by the Leelanau Conservancy, which means it can’t be split or developed, but that shouldn’t dampen enthusiasm for this stunning chunk of Michigan’s most beautiful county.
