Property Description

This lovingly maintained Empire Centennial Farm includes 127 feet of private frontage, with dock and boathouse, on South Bar Lake and rests on two acres. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Lake Michigan is blocks away. Master carpenter Burr Getman, who constructed the D.H. Day barn and several area homes, was the original builder of this two-story, three-bedroom farmhouse and two-story 17’x24’ carriage house. Completely renovated in 2024 with new metal roofs, siding, furnace and windows. Inside features all new flooring, walls, insulation, bathrooms (including a Finnish steam shower), and custom blinds. Also the addition of mini splits for cooling in the summer. Enjoy evenings in the 3 season 22’x15’ sunporch. The living room features a wood burning fireplace and built-in entertainment center and bookcases. Kitchen highlights include cherry wood cabinets, granite counters, a snack bar and built-in desk, and a doorway to the new expansive deck with lake views. A fully equipped cottage apartment with attached garage was also updated in 2024 which includes adding a mini split for heating & cooling. The cedar-shake boathouse offers additional sleeping quarters. The grounds include many species of native plants, trees and shrubs. Among them are a forest of pine, cedar, balsam, cherry and birch. A meadow offers horseshoe pits, a natural area for badminton, apple trees, raspberries, grapes. Empire village amenities include parks, beaches, restaurants, and shops.
