10+ Private Acres. Dedicated Boat Slip. Three Distinct Living Spaces. An exceptional Northern Michigan estate compound just steps from your private Lake St. Helen park access -- complete with a dedicated end slip for effortless docking and deeper water access. Set on over 10 secluded acres, this meticulously maintained property offers approximately 4,237 sq ft in the main residence plus two fully finished upper-level living spaces designed for flexibility, privacy, and multi-generational living. The primary home delivers expansive gathering areas, oversized bedrooms, and a layout built for both everyday comfort and large-scale entertaining. Continuous proactive maintenance defines this property -- from new Andersen French doors and a high-end Andersen sliding door to upgraded insulation and a brand-new wood boiler providing efficient supplemental heat. Improvements here are thoughtful and ongoing, not reactive. Above the attached garage, a private 1,343 sq ft apartment offers a dedicated bedroom suite, bath, and kitchenette -- ideal for guests or extended stays. Above the detached workshop, an additional 1,834 sq ft open-concept apartment features a full kitchen and bath, creating a versatile space for creative use, hosting, or independent living. The workshop itself is substantial. The acreage provides rare seclusion. The deeded lake access is literally steps away -- and the dedicated slip at the end of the park places you in deeper water with easier navigation. This is not simply a large home. This is a private compound with lake privileges, space to expand, and flexibility built in. Opportunities like this -- acreage, privacy, boat slip access, and multiple finished living quarters -- rarely align in one offering.
