2494 N Setterbo Rd, Suttons Bay, MI 49682

Nestled in a peaceful pastoral setting just four miles from downtown Suttons Bay, this custom carriage house blends artisanal craftsmanship, modern efficiency, and immersive natural beauty. Set on 2.85 acres, the home is framed by a mature canopy of pines atop a gentle hill. Surrounding the home is a reclaimed meadow of native grasses, wildflowers, and low-maintenance ground cover that shifts with the seasons. A manicured hillside blooms with lavender, hydrangeas, daffodils, and dogwoods for vibrant color. The exterior features LP SmartSide board-and-batten siding and a matching shed—ideal as a garden workspace, artist studio or reading nook, extending the home’s design into the landscape. A large 2.5 car garage opens to a welcoming foyer leading to the elevated living quarters. Inside, artisan details shine: hickory flooring from an Indiana sawmill, poplar trim, and a kitchen by an Amish cabinetmaker with soft-close cabinetry, built-in hutch, and generous honed granite island. Brass fixtures add timeless charm, while high-end appliances—including a Bertazzoni range and Fisher & Paykel fridge and dishwasher—offer modern performance to the vintage-inspired kitchen. Sunlit living and dining areas overlook the meadow and espaliered apple trees—some contributing to Tandem Cider, just a short hike away. The bedroom benefits from a pitched roofline and continued hickory floors. The bathroom is styled with black slate Versailles tile, a walk-in shower, and custom Amish dry sink vanity. A walk-in closet and laundry area are tucked nearby for ease. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a Trex deck and stone patio—perfect for dining under the stars. Efficient and easy to maintain, the home runs solely on electricity, with mini-split heating/cooling and an on-demand water heater. This serene and thoughtfully designed retreat offers privacy, quality, and a “hug of nature". Existing septic system and well were designed to handle a future 2 bed/2 bath residence.
