If you want to get away from it all without getting away from it ALL, while doing it in style, Torch Lake, Michigan is the place to do it. The lake gives off a hue of blue which everyone swears looks just like the Caribbean. Without all the mosquitoes.
Torch Lake estate
Along the east shore of Torch Lake, in northern Michigan, you’ll find this unpretentious but comfortably sprawling home.
Not only does it have a “fantastic” floor plan, it’s close to some of the areas best outdoor attractions.
Everyone agrees that the best part of living along Torch Lake is the amazing views, especially at sunset, as the burning ball of fire dips below the curve of the lake on the far side.
You can watch that spectacular sunset from “185 feet of private frontage.” Every inch of it is heavily wooded with “very natural landscaping” and surroundings generally described as “beautiful.”
The inside of this Torch Lake estate is just as spectacular.
Featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms to go with them, the home packs a bright, spacious feel with no shortage of gathering places into 5,500 square feet. The large windows make it seem even bigger.
Golfing and skiing
With a fully functional kitchen and a cozy living room, the main floor of the Torch Lake estate home offers three of the four bedrooms.
That includes the master suite which has an over sized walk-in closet and beautiful, private bath. Downstairs, there’s a “massive workshop for all your DIY projects, as well as ample storage and living space.”
Nobody wants to spend all their time at home, even when they live along Torch Lake.
That’s why it’s nice to know that Schuss Mountain and Shanty Creek are mere minutes away for those who love golfing and skiing.
“This location,” the Realtor notes, “gives you ideal access to both skiing, mountain biking and glacier hills.”
Not only that, “you’re only a few miles away from the yacht club, which gives you access to all kinds of amenities on Torch Lake if you enjoy that.“
