About 10292 E Fort Road
Imagine a view so breathtaking, so utterly unique, that no amount of money could replicate it—unparalleled privilege awaiting you at this extraordinary 17-acre Leelanau estate, perched at the highest point of its 77 acres in Northern Michigan. Here, where luxury weaves into nature’s grandeur, you’ll find a retreat that redefines what it means to get away. Built in 2008, this 8,800+ sq. ft. custom farmhouse stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship—hand-hewn wood floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and a commanding stone fireplace that holds the space like an old friend. The gourmet kitchen is a culinary masterpiece: leathered granite and concrete countertops, a Sub-Zero glass-door refrigerator, a Wolf commercial gas stove, a custom vent hood, a warming drawer, a wine refrigerator, and a sprawling butler’s pantry with floor-to-ceiling custom doors and stainless steel surfaces.Step into any of the four en-suite bedrooms—each a private haven of comfort and elegance—or drift out to the multiple porches and decks where sunrises ignite the sky and sunsets paint multiple bodies of water, including Grand Traverse West Bay, in hues so vivid they defy imitation. You’ll find peace in every room, no matter the season. Beyond the home, three acres of mature, producing vineyards roll out, their harvest already in demand, with more deep-tilled land waiting—ready for you to expand the vines or simply bask in the quiet beauty of your own wine country retreat.A 50x70 two-story barn, built with Doc’s Planking & Steel, stands as a rugged, versatile gem—perfect for equipment, livestock, or a rustic stage for unforgettable nights.Wrapped in cherry orchards and rolling farmland, this estate strikes a rare balance of seclusion and connection to NoMi's best.
