5566 s spyglass ridge drive

This is not just a house—it’s a place meant to be lived in, celebrated, and shared. Perched on a ridge with panoramic views of West Grand Traverse Bay, this 7,784 sq ft custom home offers exceptional craftsmanship, modern functionality, and space for meaningful connection. Located in the private Bay View Pines community between Traverse City and Suttons Bay, it blends privacy and convenience in one of Leelanau County’s most desirable settings. Inside, rich woodwork, custom wood beams, and a floating staircase reflect high-level design. The great room features vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone gas-assist fireplace, and dramatic windows that frame the bay. The entertainer’s wet bar with fridge and ice maker flows into the chef’s kitchen, complete with premium appliances, a prep island, and butler’s pantry with its own sink, dishwasher, and ovens. A dumbwaiter connects to the lower level for ease of entertaining. The main floor primary suite includes a gas fireplace, bay views, steam shower, and heated floors. A guest suite, study, powder room, laundry, and mudroom with dog wash add comfort and flexibility. The screened-in porch—with pass-through window is perfect for fall football or sunset wine. Upstairs offers a spacious loft and an expansive ensuite bonus room—creating a private welcoming space for guests. The walkout lower level is a true retreat with 11’ ceilings, a wall of windows, radiant-heated polished concrete floors, exposed trusses, bar, gaming area, gas fireplace, two bedrooms with Jack & Jill bath, and a flex room/office. Step outside to enjoy the covered patio, hot tub, outdoor bocce court, and firepit surrounded by beautiful landscaping with irrigation and lighting. The community features 40 acres of open space, walking trails, and 1400’ of shared sandy frontage on Grand Traverse Bay, plus kayak/SUP storage, clubhouse, marina access, and more. This is a rare opportunity to own a home built for gathering in the heart of Leelanau.
