Welcome to Tower Road, a rare and remarkable offering in the heart of Leelanau County. This expansive property spans nearly 60 acres and features an impressive 1,200 feet of private frontage on the serene waters of Bright Lake—an exclusive 25-acre lake with very few homes enjoying direct access. Bright Lake is a spring fed lake, 50 feet deep, teeming with pike, bass and bluegills. It is set high in the rolling hills of Leelanau County, and is frequented by wildlife all year long. Perfectly positioned just minutes from downtown Traverse City, this retreat offers the best of both privacy and convenience. The charming home includes 2,195 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and one ¾ bathroom, ideal for a private getaway or year-round residence. A spacious deck overlooks the lake, creating the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. Additional amenities include a 36’ x 40’ pole barn, an irrigation house, and a private dock, making this a versatile property suited for hobby farming, recreation, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Whether you're seeking a secluded sanctuary or a development opportunity, this property is truly one-of-a-kind.
