Little Glen Lake | South Shore Legacy Property| Rare Opportunity Set along 81 feet of pristine, hard-packed sandy frontage on the south shore of Little Glen Lake, this timeless lakefront estate captures the essence of Northern Michigan at its finest. Framed by a long, tree-lined approach, the property unfolds with a sense of arrival—private, peaceful, and deeply rooted in place. It's the kind of place that feels instantly known-Like a cherished cottage you've somehow always been connected to. Originally built in 1938 and thoughtfully maintained, the nearly 3,000 square foot home blends historic charm with spacious livability. Inside, you’ll find a series of inviting spaces—three bedrooms, three baths, and a collection of intimate nooks and architectural details that speak to a different era, carefully preserved for the next generation to enjoy. Expansive windows and outdoor living areas are oriented toward the water, where beautiful sunrise views stretch across Little Glen and reach toward the distant dunes. The setting is nothing short of captivating—calm mornings, sparkling water, and a landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons. The grounds are equally impressive. A generous lakeside yard offers space to gather, entertain, or simply unwind, while mature landscaping enhances both privacy and natural beauty. The recently installed, oversized septic system provides flexibility for future expansion, making this not only a place to enjoy today, but an investment in what’s possible tomorrow. Rarely does a property of this character and setting come to market. A true classic on Little Glen Lake—rich in history, elevated by its setting, and ready to be carried forward.
