3810 Deer Ridge Trail, Beulah, MI 49617

Tucked into the trees above Long Lake, this one-of-a-kind custom home offers direct lake frontage, privacy, and a true Northern Michigan setting. Long Lake is one of Benzie County's best-kept secrets-peaceful, scenic, and ideal for swimming, fishing, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, pontooning, and quiet days on the water.

Nesting loons and eagles add to the natural beauty and make this an exceptional place to enjoy the changing seasons. A stairway leads to the waterfront, while the working tram provides another way to reach the lake. At the shoreline, relax on the dock, enjoy the water, or spend time in the lakefront cabana overlooking Long Lake.

The seller intentionally preserved the wooded setting to maintain a private, treehouse-like feel. Through the trees are glimpses of Long Lake and sneak peeks of the Sleeping Bear Dunes in the distance. A future owner may choose to selectively open the view while maintaining the privacy and character of the property.

Two distinctive octagonal wings are connected by a dramatic central living room featuring vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, expansive windows, and a striking stone fireplace. The adjoining kitchen and dining area create a natural gathering space at the heart of the home.

One entire octagonal wing is dedicated to the primary suite with a spacious bedroom, attached office or sitting room, large walk-in closet, laundry room, and private bath with dual vanities and a jetted soaking tub. The walkout lower level offers multiple exterior entrances and access to the attached garage, while the main living level can be reached by stairs or ramp.

Newer Generac generator for added peace. Conveniently located between Beulah and Frankfort, with Crystal Lake, Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and endless Up North recreation nearby, this is a truly special Long Lake property with character, privacy, and a waterfront lifestyle all its own.
