About this home
Set on 2.38 private acres with 127 feet of frontage on South Bar Lake, this distinctive property offers a rare blend of charm, character, and versatility near the Village of Empire. The main farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining its inviting feel, featuring well-defined living spaces, a spacious kitchen and dining area, and a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The main level includes one bedroom and a full bath, while the upper level offers two additional bedrooms and a shared bath. A 22x15 three-season room and expansive outdoor deck provide functional bonus living spaces that seamlessly incorporate the outdoors-ideal for relaxing and entertaining while taking in the natural surroundings. Near the turn of the 20th century (some records indicate circa 1894), a traditional carriage house/barn was added, reflecting the areas rich architectural heritage. In the early 2000s, a detached one-car garage with an accessory dwelling was added, offering excellent flexibility for guests or extended stays. The setting is peaceful and private, with a beautiful blend of deciduous trees and open meadow creating a classic Leelanau landscape, along with frontage on South Bar Lake-perfect for a short kayak trip across the lake with access toward Empire Beach. Originally built by a respected local craftsman known for contributing to several notable historic structures in Empire including DH Day Barn, the property carries a subtle connection to the areas past. Today, it presents a unique opportunity to enjoy waterfront living with space, privacy, and multiple-use potential, all just moments from Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Lake Michigan....
