Quote of the week:
“Believe deep in your heart, you are destined to do great things” - Joe Paterno
Before you get too busy with all the activities of summer, please remember to give a pint of blood, if that is something you are able to do. My son and I responded to a call earlier this week from the Michigan Community Blood Center of Northwest Michigan. Seems I was eligible again to give. They make it so easy by calling to remind me. I was surprised to learn I reached the four gallon mark with this visit and received a pin to signify my accomplishment. They are always grateful for the donation and I always tell them I can't do a lot of things; but I can do this, so I am happy to do it. Thankfully, my family is healthy but many are in need, so I am always glad to see others joining me as I donate a pint. Maybe I'll see you there the next time.
On the real estate front, it's been a busy week of showings. Buyers are on the hunt for the perfect cottage, primary home and land for the future retirement home. Inventory is still high but buyers are more specific about what they want than ever before. If you are a future seller, I encourage you to contact me. It's possible that you may have exactly what an active buyer is looking for. I can help you bring your property to the market and attract that special buyer. Call, email or text anytime. And thanks for visiting. JD

For our “foodies,” the Best of Leelanau list was released to entice their palettes. Glen Lake’s own “Trattoria Funistrada” was voted best restaurant for a first date. With mouth watering Italian cuisine, one will certainly make a great first impression. To cap the perfect evening, one only needs to head down the road to the Cedar Rustic Inn. The pineapple upside down cake is well worth the trip!

Listing agent Rob Serbin says...
For anyone looking for peace and solitude on some acreage with a solid, like-new house (that isn't too big, but nicely done) might want to come and have a closer look at this listing.
It's in the northwest corner of Benzie County in Platte Township where there's more public land in the form of state-owned acreage and National Park Land than privately-held property. A lot of the private land is zoned in what's referred to as R-P 20, Rural Preservation, with a 20 acre minimum parcel size for any new land divisions, so the population density is just not that prevalent (think "quiet").
The house is situated on the east side of the property just off of less-traveled Marvis Road (less traveled because it's sort of the end of the road, at least in the winter - plows don't go beyond here in the winter time). It's not on a major thourough fare and gets woken up by the morning sun. It's got an open living/dining/kitchen plan with plenty of windows (Pella) to let in the light, provide ventilation, and provide a wide screen view to the outdoors. The spacious kitchen has a nice big island for serious cooks who need more prep area than the very adequate main countertop space or can accommodate informal meals (or a space to keep the chef company). Stainless steel Kitchen Aid appliances include refrigerator with lower freezer, double drawer dishwasher, five burner radiant cook top and hood, and a double microwave/convection oven set into and beside well-crafted hickory cabinets, allowing you to bring on the family for the holidays!
There are four resident canines who are beyond pampered in this household who have a large fenced in kennel area and a huge 10X24 dog enclosure with plexi-glass sides, and just inside the back door/utility room via their own doggy door, an elevated shower unit to keep the dogs smelling good and owners happy and without sore backs. A spacious laundry with front-loading Whirlpool washer and dryer, plenty of pantry/cabinet and counter space, and even a half bath make up the balance of this very utilitarian space.
The master suite is spacious with it's own bathroom with "yours and mine" sinks, shower stall, and a large, well-equipped walk-in closet. One of the other two bedrooms has been used as an office in the past and handily services a set of bunk beds for grand kids. The other accommodates a queen-sized bed quite well with the requisite additional furnishings.
The 38x80 pole barn is heated with a minimally-used Rheem furnace, 12' side walls, and a 32x29 work shop area that's elevated with wood floors. There's an upstairs that runs the length of the building, is 16' wide, and would accommodate a finished ceiling at 8' in height - perfect for a studio, office, or additional storage.
Additionally, there's a 16x16 garden/storage building with a hip roof and apex skylight for lots of natural light, great for storing yard tools and machinery (so you can work on the established flower beds). The two car detached garage is 24x26 with double overhead doors, 10' wide and 8' tall and insulated, but not heated or dry-walled. The house has gutters, a Nu-tone central vacuum system, and is in a great location only 10 minutes from either Empire or Honor and less than that to the sandy Lake Michigan beach at Esch Road in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Come have a look!
Wooded small acreage parcels w/a little bit of everything. Views of open meadows & sunrises to the east; sloping pond & sunsets to the west. Nice little enclave of just 4 home sites; 2 have been sold & only 2 remain. One parcel would be suitable for horses (township required minimum of 4 acres) or combine both & have more pasture area & wider building area. Quiet neighborhood setting is adjacent to Mistwood Golf Course, state lands, public lake/river access points, & charming village of Lake Ann.
A great northern Almira Township 2 acre parcel w/some gentle topography & young/mature hardwoods (mixed w/some pines & open meadows) at a very affordable price. No restrictions! Access is by way of shared driveway/private road by only 3 sites. An easement provides access to this parcel, which is currently wooded but will be improved to the edge of the west boundary by seller. Close to state land, points of public access to multiple lakes, & to the charming village of Lake Ann.
Charming Port Oneida farmhouse surrounded by National Park! Lovely 2 acre property is well kept w/sunny yard & views of countryside & rolling hardwoods. Limited privately-owned land in this area affords lots of privacy. Built in 1920, 5 BR home w/good bones offers some original woodwork, main floor master, woodstove, mud room, laundry room, basement w/outdoor access, & deck. Ample storage in garage & insulated, heated, & plumbed pole barn/workshop. Walk to Lake MI access & a quick drive to Pyramid Point.
Desire an up north get-away but a busy schedule limits time? Enjoy miles of sandy Lake MI beaches just outside your door in this fractional ownership condo. Spectacular views of Sleeping Bear Bay & Manitou Islands from inside & out. 6 weeks/year give each owner a sampling of the varied seasons & recreational opportunities. Nicely furnished & appointed, this is one of only 4 units in the Shoreside complex & is fully turn key; just bring groceries & a bottle of wine & get ready to put your toes in the sand!
A gently rolling 10.49 acre parcel w/multiple walkout design locations & meadow views in all directions. Just a mile and a half to Glen Lake School & a Glen Lake point of public access beyond that. Convenient to Maple City.
South central Leelanau County location, just 1/4 mile off M-72. Building previously housed a daycare w/special use permit (could be continued) or other special uses possible. Well constructed, full kitchen, handicap ramp & barrier-free BA (3 half baths total), office space, & former classrooms/infant room could be converted for residential purposes or other uses. Fenced-in backyard, A/C, paved parking lot, & 24x24 pole barn for storage. Possible L/C or lease/option.
An amazing & rare opportunity for a home on Lake Michigan. This is the only privately-owned parcel on the eastern arm of Lake Michigan Rd - the National Park Service owns the rest, meaning you are surrounded by uninhabited wilderness & shoreline. The quaint, rustic chalet sits at the edge of a classic forested dune, w/views of only the water in front of you, N & S Manitou Islands, and miles of natural shoreline to either side. Walk to the Good Harbor Bay trailhead just down the road.
Perhaps one of the best views of Big Glen! Stylish home perched high on a wooded bluff offers open, panoramic views of Big Glen, the narrows bridge, Sleeping Bear Point, & acres of rolling wooded hillsides. 10+ acre parcel faces west for breathtaking sunsets. Contemporary architecture & rustic decorating w/unique touches - custom woodwork, slate & ceramic tile, lots of large windows to take in the view, flagstone f/p, brick pizza oven, spiral staircase up to rooftop cupola, 2nd garage w/workshop, & more!
Walk to public Glen Lake access from this charming ranch set against a backdrop of mature northern hardwoods. Richly-stained cedar sided home welcomes onto the covered front porch & into a bright, open interior w/vaulted ceilings & skylights. Spacious kitchen features oak cabinetry, ceramic tile countertops, snack bar, & combo dining area w/sliders to generous rear deck. Master bedroom also accesses rear deck & offers dual closet storage. Additional storage can be found in attached garage & storage shed.
Enjoy a 2 mile drive to Good Harbor Beach on Lake Michigan from this tidy tri-level home on a large landscaped lot in a quiet neighborhood.

Driveway is installed through lot 17 to a building site w/spectacular views of Pyramid Point & the Manitou Passage - ready for your dream home!
