Rare. Protected. Non-duplicable. This is more than a home. Positioned at the very tip of coveted Starkey Point, this rare waterfront offering sits between two of Northern Michigan’s most breathtaking bodies of water — Arcadia Lake and Lake Michigan — delivering panoramic views that are notable as they are protected. From this extraordinary vantage point, you enjoy sweeping views across the channel and out toward Lake Michigan. Permanently protected land across the water ensures the view you fall in love with today will never change. The grounds have been intentionally maintained to preserve the area’s natural look and feel, enhancing privacy and protecting the authentic Northern Michigan shoreline experience. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home captures timeless mid-century character, designed to embrace the surrounding water from nearly every angle. A striking stone fireplace anchors the living space, while expansive windows and clean lines create a warm, relaxed lakefront atmosphere. Offered fully furnished, this is a true turnkey opportunity. Private frontage on Arcadia Lake provides direct access to boating, kayaking, and the channel leading straight into Lake Michigan. Shared Lake Michigan beach access is just steps away with nearly two miles of pristine white sandy beach, offering the rare opportunity to enjoy both calm inland waters and the vast shoreline of the Great Lakes. Unlike the busier resort communities in Northern Michigan, Arcadia remains one of Northern Michigan’s best-kept secrets — peaceful, authentic, and beautifully preserved. Just 45 minutes to Traverse City and a short drive to Frankfort, yet a world away from the crowds. Not just a home. It is a front-row seat to Northern Michigan’s most timeless waterfront setting — where water surrounds you, privacy protects you, and sunsets define the lifestyle.
