The only thing you see from the west-facing windows across the expansive deck is the setting sun against the clear blue waters of Lake Michigan and the trees on your property; there are no neighboring structures in sight other than the houses in Harbor Springs across Little Traverse Bay. Outside the home gives you the feeling of being in your own private park, complete with a stocked year-round Coy Pond with a waterfall feature, fruit trees, pines, and beautiful deciduous trees that are ablaze with colors in the fall, all on a gentle slope for kids or dogs to explore nature as they are supposed to, but within the comfort of your own property. Just off the outbuilding is an incredible screened-in porch that is the current owner's favorite space on the property, perfect for entertaining or just a quiet dinner with family. Inside, there are two floors of living with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms with an abundance of windows and glass door walls looking over the lake and the unique 1000 square feet of deck. There are so many options for this property, which could be a local family's residence close to schools, shopping, the Petoskey State Park, Harbor Springs, and the Ski Hills/golf courses. Or come for the summer or weekends in all 4 seasons of Northern Michigan, this well-maintained home is ready for its next chapter. 3175 Country Club Road is a premium piece of property ready for whatever your imagination and dreams have in mind for it.
