Property description

Cedar Creek Ranch is a rare 400-acre estate where equestrian dreams meet the wild wonders of Northern Michigan. Nestled in the heart of Leelanau County, this one-of-a-kind property combines premium horse facilities, natural splendor, and legacy-level potential—offering an unmatched opportunity for riders, ranchers, and visionaries alike. The centerpiece of the equestrian setup is a five-stall barn complete with indoor wash and grooming areas, tack and feed rooms, and overhead storage. Just steps away, a 72' x 80' indoor riding arena with 14’ ceilings and LED lighting allows for year-round training, riding, and care—no matter the weather. Adjacent fenced pastures offer open turnout space with room to expand. And for those who do more than ride, a finished 40' x 40' workshop with 220-amp power, 30' workbench, and propane heat offers space to maintain gear, store equipment, or build what comes next. Anchoring the ranch is a 6,200 sq ft custom home, built with handcrafted oak trim, cherry hardwood floors, and oversized windows that frame sweeping views across pastures and timberland. Whether you're gathering around the kitchen island or watching the sun rise over the paddocks, every inch of this home speaks to comfort, care, and connection to the land. Beyond the equestrian elements lies a private world of natural wonder: 200 acres of high-fenced wilderness, a stocked pond, trails, creeks, a guest lodge, and wildlife at every turn—including deer, otter, eagles, and one lone elk—a nod to the property’s heritage as a private game preserve. With no conservation easements, a transferable DNR/Ag permit, and proximity to the charming village of Cedar and Cherry Capital Airport, Cedar Creek Ranch is as flexible as it is breathtaking. Whether you're building a world-class horse retreat, family estate, or a new kind of wild legacy—this land is ready to run with your vision.
