PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Discover one of Northern Michigan’s most remarkable properties: a 180-acre equestrian and recreational estate with breathtaking views of the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix and within close proximity to Flintfields Horse Park. The property also features 675’ of lake frontage on Steele Lake. When the glaciers retreated from the area millions of years ago, they created the glacial moraines that tower 250 feet above the surface level of Lake Charlevoix. With a rich history of orchards and farmland spanning nearly 150 years, the estate currently produces a hay crop and offers expansive pastures, paddocks, and wooded trails for both horses and outdoor enthusiasts. The home and outbuildings have been extensively updated, including renovated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, new carpet, and a massive brand-new deck with custom railings. A newly updated guest apartment features a full kitchen, bath, bedroom, dining, and living area—perfect for caretakers, guests, or overflow accommodations. Horse facilities are exceptional, including 9 stalls, a 26,000 sq. ft. barn-dominium with an indoor arena, heated viewing area with kitchen, and newly installed heated waterers at each paddock. Outdoor amenities include a huge 4,000 sq ft pole barn at the entrance for equipment storage, a large lean-to for additional storage attached to the arena, a historic fishing cabin at the lakeside with potential for renovation, and proximity to a boat launch on Lake Charlevoix. The property is ideal for hunting (offering food plots and fruit trees), fishing, and equestrian pursuits, all set in Michigan’s prestigious “Golden Triangle” region. This estate perfectly combines luxury, functionality, and natural beauty, offering a private sanctuary with world-class recreational access, magnificent lake views, and versatile facilities for horses, farm operations, or outdoor adventures.
