Located along the picturesque French Road corridor—a scenic byway known for its rolling farmland and classic Leelanau charm—this inviting home sits on just under 9 pastoral acres offering peace, privacy, and year-round beauty. Originally built as a historic fishing cabin for its first owners, the home has been thoughtfully added onto and built out over time to create a comfortable, full-time Leelanau residence. Inside, a spacious living and dining area is anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove, providing warmth and ambiance throughout the seasons. The home offers two bedrooms and one bathroom, with the primary bedroom featuring two large closets for exceptional storage. Cement board siding and a series of well-planned upgrades reflect the seller’s 36 years of care and investment in the property. A brick paver walkway leads to the detached garage with power, while new landscaping and garden beds add charm and color. With nearly 9 acres of open and wooded land, the setting invites gardening, walking trails, hobbies, and quiet enjoyment of the pastoral landscape that defines this special stretch of French Road. ALL OFFERS DUE BY MONDAY 12/29 AT 5PM. ***Due to weather offer deadline extending to tomorrow Tuesday 12/30 at 5PM***
