Property Watch: Grownup Tree House In Empire
By Emily Tyra | June 11, 2020
This week, the Leelanau Ticker’s peninsula-wide property hunt takes us to the treetops of Empire. A four-level oasis (11841 South Orchard Hill Drive, Empire, $1,265,000), just listed by Rob Serbin of Serbin Real Estate, is a labyrinth of both indoor and outdoor spaces connected by covered bridge walkways. At the house’s tip-top (accessible by elevator) is a glass-covered pergola for hanging out with the sounds of the forest or under a starry sky. Just a skywalk away is what the current owners call “The Snug,” a self-contained bonus apartment. Guests will no doubt make use of it, with the home's proximity to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and 838 feet of shared Lake Michigan frontage.
