About 6975 W Day Forest Drive

193 feet of private, sandy waterfront on Little Glen Lake sets the stage for this rare generational property. Nestled on 2.23 acres, an extraordinary amount of land for a waterfront parcel in this area. This home offers panoramic views of one of Northern Michigan’s most iconic lakes and is ready for its next chapter. The main house offers 1,540 sq ft of open-concept living, designed to maximize natural light and showcase water views from nearly every room. Two spacious bedrooms each feature large sliding doors, offering direct access to the deck and stunning lakefront vistas. Mini splits are strategically placed in both bedrooms and the family room for those extra hot summer days! For guests or extended family, the 775 sq ft bunkhouse includes a kitchenette, ¾ bathroom, and accommodations for six. There is plenty of space for storage and your toys as there is a 24x36 three-car garage, a separate 29x24 workshop, and even an exterior bathroom with a shower, perfect for rinsing off after a day in the lake. All furniture and items on the property will convey with the sale, including the dock and a wooden kayak launch raft that makes getting in and out of the water a breeze! Ideally located just five minutes from the village of Glen Arbor and with easy access to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, biking and hiking trails, and the region’s wineries, this property offers a rare blend of privacy, acreage, and convenience. Whether enjoyed as a legacy family retreat, vacation getaway, or investment opportunity, this is Northern Michigan lake living at its finest.
