Experience one of Northern Michigan’s most distinctive private equestrian estates: 180 acres across six parcels, panoramic views of the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix and 675 feet of private frontage on Steele Lake. Designed for year-round riding and four-season recreation, this legacy property combines privacy, extensive equestrian infrastructure and private water access in one setting. At the heart of the estate is approximately 26,000 square feet of covered equestrian space, including a 22,000-square-foot temperature-controlled indoor arena, nine stalls, heated tack room, heated viewing room with kitchen, new paddocks with heated waterers and an attached lean-to for additional storage. A separate approximately 4,000-square-foot pole building provides space for equipment, hay, vehicles and recreational gear. The updated four-bedroom, four-bath residence features cathedral ceilings, a gourmet kitchen, renovated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, new carpet and expansive windows capturing the countryside and Lake Charlevoix sunsets. A massive new deck with custom railings provides space for outdoor entertaining. The newly completed guest or caretaker apartment includes a bedroom, full bath, kitchen, dining area and living room. Rolling pastures, productive hay fields, mature hardwoods, wooded trails, food plots and fruit trees create a setting for horses, hunting and outdoor recreation. Along the private Steele Lake shoreline, a historic fishing cabin offers additional potential and a place to enjoy the water. Located within reach of Lake Charlevoix, Northern Michigan resort communities and Traverse City Horse Shows at Flintfields, this rare property is suited as a private show barn, multigenerational family compound or recreational retreat, offering acreage, water, views, privacy and year round recreation.
