About this home
Set on 2.38 private acres with 127 feet of frontage on South Bar Lake, this distinctive property offers a rare blend of charm, character, and versatility near the Village of Empire. The main farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining its inviting feel, featuring well-defined living spaces, a spacious kitchen and dining area, and a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The main level includes one bedroom and a full bath, while the upper level offers two additional bedrooms and a shared bath. A 22x15 three-season room and expansive outdoor deck provide functional bonus living spaces that seamlessly incorporate the outdoors—ideal for relaxing and entertaining while taking in the natural surroundings. Near the turn of the 20th century (some records indicate circa 1894), a traditional carriage house/barn was added, reflecting the area’s rich architectural heritage. In the early 2000s, a detached one-car garage with an accessory dwelling was added, offering excellent flexibility for guests or extended stays. The setting is peaceful and private, with a beautiful blend of deciduous trees and open meadow creating a classic Leelanau landscape, along with frontage on South Bar Lake—perfect for a short kayak trip across the lake with access toward Empire Beach. Originally built by a respected local craftsman known for contributing to several notable historic structures in Empire including DH Day Barn, the property carries a subtle connection to the area’s past. Today, it presents a unique opportunity to enjoy waterfront living with space, privacy, and multiple-use potential, all just moments from Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Lake Michigan....
