Million dollar home on Long Lake with lots of extras! in Traverse City

This exceptional $1.5 million dollar home that is located on Long Lake. Long Lake is the most popular lake in this area, for 2 reasons. The first reason is the water temperature and beaches (warm and sandy). Whereas the other lakes have become mucky or very shallow (for 100-200 feet) due to the loss in recent water levels over the past several years. Long Lake is also a large lake with
islands, and large enough for all types of watercraft and fabulous fishing; whereas smaller lakes can only accommodate paddle boats or fishing boats due to the lake noise level while operating.  If you waterski you're in luck!!  There is a professional waterski course on Long Lake as well.  The second reason for the high demand for Long Lake is that it's the closest lake to Traverse City.  Approximately 5 minutes away. Expensive real estate for this area, and high demand.

This popular home comes with a FREE pontoon (fuel/oil are additional costs), so you may enjoy all of the sites that Long Lake has to offer.  The home also features an indoor sauna/spa as well as an outdoor hot tub (that is private) to relax and enjoy the views.  Other features of the home include TWO master suites, a home surround sound system, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, big screen TV's, internet access, a computer in the home and fantastic gardens.

This quality home housed the Royal Family from the United Kingdom last summer for two weeks in July!

Come and enjoy quality comfort!
