Listing Details

Take a drive along the Tunnel of Trees, and you'll find a property like no other, situated on a wooded bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. The Blisswood Estate has been a treasured residence for nearly 100 years, and its charm, history, and unparalleled peacefulness make it difficult to compare to any others in the area. The Lodge was originally constructed by the skilled craftsmanship of Chauncey P. Bliss in 1929. The additional cabins were added to the property with the same signature touches in the early 1940s. The details are exquisite with awe-inspiring architecture featuring hand-hewn timber framing, hand forged iron hardware, intricate custom painting, 5 gorgeous stone fireplaces, and irreplaceable Bliss furnishings throughout. This picturesque 4-acre parcel includes access to a lovely beach below the bluff and the fully furnished Lodge and two guest cottages, with 4,600 sq ft of livable space, provide the perfect accommodations for friends and family to join in on this one-of-a-kind northern Michigan experience. Also nestled on the grounds is a beautiful chapel which enhances the tranquility and significance of the property. There is additional acreage available, with a garage and another historic Bliss cottage, directly across the road on the east side of M-119. The sellers would also consider a land contract with a substantial down payment. The property is being listed as a single-family retreat but has a longstanding history of excellent short-term rental revenue that could be carried on seamlessly. The Blisswood Estate is a rare find, from the gorgeous architecture and tranquil setting to the incredible sunset views over Lake Michigan. To see it is to believe it, so reach out to schedule your tour and start your journey toward an amazingly peaceful and blissful existence.
