Welcome to TranquiliTee- a truly one-of-a-kind architect-designed Swiss chalet retreat with stunning Sugar Loaf views. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in the heart of Leelanau County. This distinctive Swiss Chalet—one of only three ever built that were designed by renowned architect Roger Hummel—offers an extraordinary blend of timeless design, premium craftsmanship, and breathtaking Northern Michigan scenery, especially vibrant during this upcoming fall color season. Ideally situated on the 18th hole of the Old Course at Sugar Loaf, the property is just steps from the clubhouse—offering the rare luxury of private parking and a quick walk to the tees without the hassle of the crowded public lot. Enjoy panoramic views of the spectacular autumn foliage on Sugar Loaf Mountain, the fairway, and amazing crisp sunsets from the spacious rear decks. The mountain directly behind the property was recently acquired by the Leelanau Conservancy in a historic $8 million campaign. This 285-acre property is officially being transformed into a permanently protected, year-round public recreation park. With plans for extensive hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing trails right out your back door, this guarantees permanently unobstructed views while providing a premium, highly sought-after backyard amenity that significantly enhances the property's long-term investment value. Inside, the home exudes warmth. An abundance of large skylights floods the open-concept first floor with natural light, while dramatic soaring cathedral ceilings and massive exposed timber beams draw the eye upward. The stunning great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace—the perfect place to cozy up after a brisk autumn walk—and flows effortlessly into the kitchen, complete with breakfast bar seating perfect for casual gatherings. Adding to the home's distinctive character is a bespoke sunken grotto shower in the first-floor bath, offering a custom, spa-like experience. The second level features a primary suite that boasts its own walk out balcony, a king sized bed, and a private bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. An oversized second bedroom, enhanced by high ceilings, expansive skylights, and a charming architectural window alcove, creates a light filled, suite like retreat. Head up to the third level and sleep under the stars in the spacious loft, which features a breathtaking 7-foot skylight and effortlessly serves as a serene, unofficial third bedroom. Combined with the two main bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa in the great room, the home comfortably sleeps 8 guests. Throughout the interior, various wood species beautifully blended with extensive premium stonework that complement a suite of high-end natural materials. This rich blend of earth tones offers an inviting serenity, creating a mountain retreat completely unlike any other in the region. Whether you are seeking a year-round residence, a personal seasonal getaway, or a lucrative income-generating property, this chalet delivers. Perfectly positioned just down the street from the pristine beaches of Good Harbor Bay, and surrounded by highly successful weekly vacation rentals, it offers a proven, highly sought-after investment opportunity along with its unmatched architectural pedigree and charm. Step inside, leave the world behind, and claim the keys to your ultimate Northern Michigan retreat just in time to enjoy the fall season.
