Property Description

Tucked into a wooded hillside overlooking Lake Michigan, the Trillium Hill Treehouse takes its name from the sea of wild white trillium that blankets the property each spring ??? pure Up North magic that unfolds across every season. Custom built in 2000, this half-log-sided (2x6 framed) home rises three stories into the canopy ??? earning its "Treehouse" name. The main level welcomes you through a custom-made entry door with a ship's porthole onto rich maple hardwood floors, opening to a kitchen, dining room, and living room with a stunning stone wood-burning fireplace, a bedroom with a Murphy bed and built-in shelves (can double as an office), a spa-like full bath with jetted soaking tub, and an elevated balcony for sunset dinners. The entire top floor is a private primary suite with cathedral ceilings and its own treetop balcony overlooking the lake ??? perfect for morning coffee with Lake MI views. Below, the walkout lower level adds a second living area warmed by a cozy wood stove (ideal for hot yoga), a third bedroom, a mechanical room with storage/closet space, and a walkout patio to take in the starry night sky. You'll love the west-facing windows that frame jaw-dropping sunsets from every level. Sitting on nearly 2.70 acres of all-natural, low-maintenance landscape, the property features a historic stone barn foundation and silo with storybook appeal???enjoy as-is or transform into a barndominium retreat. A new roof, an oversized detached two-car garage, a backup generator, and a convenient two-track that drives directly to the home ??? plus a custom staircase (lights up at night) if you'd rather climb to the canopy ??? round out the thoughtful amenities. Prime location, just minutes from Northport and Leland, with Sleeping Bear Dunes, hiking and biking trails, beaches, and Leelanau wineries close at hand ??? make this your forever home or favorite escape!
