Property Watch: Historic Hohnke Homestead And 217-Acre Fruit Farm
By Emily Tyra | April 12, 2021
A quintessential Leelanau farmstead, long home to the Hohnke family on the county road that bears its name (3383, 3101 East Hohnke Road, Cedar; MLS #1885856; $1,195,000) just went on the market.
The 217-acre property includes productive orchards in one of the quietest, most scenic pockets of the county — the rolling hills have views of Lake Michigan, the Manitou Islands, and Pyramid Point. The farm, co-listed by Kyle Jean and Tom Alflen of EXIT Realty Paramount, is also comprised of multiple outbuildings, a cooling pad, warehouse, worker’s quarters and, of course, the 1919 homestead.
Jean says the orchards are currently leased to a local apple and cherry farmer, and this is a rare chance at owning one of the few 200-acre working farms in Leelanau County. He notes the property also has a conservation easement — and in the specific case of the Hohnke farm this means that there are no splits permitted — so it will remain a beautiful farmstead in Leelanau County into perpetuity.
