"New farm with old charm" is a good way to describe Shelterwood Farm. Though built in 2006, this home was inspired by the Leelanau bungalow/cottage-style farmhouse and sits in a beautiful pastoral setting on 11 or 22 acres. A small livestock barn w/fenced paddocks, fenced pasture w/run-in shed, & native perennial landscaping complement this idyllic setting in beautiful Leelanau County. Ideal home for couple or family with interests in farming, gardening, horses, livestock... or just living in the peaceful countryside.
