Description

Anyone who loves Leelanau County has undoubtedly driven past the renowned Bicentennial Farm on Bohemian Road and M22 many, many times. This historic farm house, barn, and land is not only just a short walk away to one of the best beaches in the area, it also boasts charm and character in spades. Between the beautiful and bucolic Bohemian Road, Shalda Creek that runs right behind the property, Lake Michigan just down the road, and a peaceful meadow view from what will be the screened in porch, there really is no better place to live a Leelanau County dream! The current owners purchased it close to three years ago as a labor of love to bring it back to life, and are now moving out of state. They have poured their heart and soul in to it. They have addressed all of the most important items - the septic, structure, roof, doors, windows, foundation, taken it down to the studs (and more!) and now it's just ready for someone to come in and rebuild the interior as they wish. The original 7BR/1BA, 2, 000 sf farmhouse has plans drawn to become a 4BR/2.5BA, 1.5 story home with 2, 600 sf of living space, including a main floor master suite. Purchased interior doors are also included, as well as the carefully restored ship lap and flooring from the original farmhouse. There are also several smaller outbuildings in addition to the landmark barn and four acres of land, and the barn is complete with horse stalls for the horse lovers out there! Miles of biking and walking abound from the Heritage Trail that runs in front of the home, Glen Arbor is only 5 miles away, Little Traverse Lake is also just a walk or bike ride away, and the wonderful Little Traverse Inn and Market 22 are just down the road for a lovely dinner, lunch or brunch. As this property is a piece of history in Leelanau County, protected by the park, it has a Category III Agreement. You are welcome to use it as your residence, or farm the land. Being sold as is.
