This distinctive hillside home was designed by celebrated Northern Michigan architect Roger Hummel during the formative years of Sugar Loaf, when modern architecture and outdoor recreation converged in a way rarely replicated today. Purpose-built for its setting, the home remains largely original and clearly reflective of its era. The design unfolds vertically, with multiple levels connected by sculptural stairways and intimate moments of discovery, including built-in seating, child-scale details, and unexpected vantage points throughout the home. A centrally located fireplace anchors the main living space, while original finishes and handcrafted elements preserve the character and craftsmanship of the period. The lower level includes a private entrance, kitchenette, full bath, and bedrooms, allowing for guest separation while still functioning as a single residence. A sauna, outdoor terraces, and hillside views further enhance the experience. The property directly abuts the former Sugar Loaf ski resort lands, now permanently protected and under active revitalization by the Leelanau Conservancy. The Conservancy has secured full funding to transform the 285-acre site into a year-round public natural area featuring extensive trail networks for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, along with summit access, gathering pavilions, sledding areas, nature play spaces, and ecological restoration initiatives. This protected landscape ensures long-term continuity of open space, recreation, and viewshed immediately adjacent to the home. Short-term rental use has occurred in the surrounding area; buyers should independently verify current regulations and eligibility. This home was never intended to be generic. It offers a strong architectural foundation for thoughtful evolution while preserving an important chapter of Northern Michigan s architectural and recreational history.

Nearly 19 acres of improved land with established infrastructure, historic character, and long-term development potential in Leelanau County. This 18.94-acre property has been operated as part of a working farm and currently includes three manufactured residences used as year-round farm employee housing, a historic barn, and three established building sites that correspond directly to the locations of the existing homes. A future owner could remove the manufactured homes and benefit from the site preparation already in place, rather than starting from raw land. The value is in the land, layout, and infrastructure, with multiple driveways, electrical service, and individual wells and septic systems already installed for each site. This significantly reduces the time, cost, and uncertainty typically associated with developing large acreage. The manufactured homes are functional for current farm use but are not being represented as turnkey residences and would require significant investment to upgrade or replace. They should be viewed as placeholders that establish access, utilities, and existing use, not as finished homes. This property offers flexibility for buyers seeking vacant land with utilities, a future family compound, a buy-now, develop-later opportunity, or continued agricultural or workforce housing use, subject to zoning requirements. Township guidance indicates the existing homes were approved under farm year-round employee housing provisions, and continued or alternative use would require zoning review and approval. MLS clarification: Listed home dimensions reflect one of the three residences only. Each residence has its own well and septic system.
