## Description

### Agent Description
Premier property with premier boat slip accommodating a 45' boat at Bowers Harbor. A truly rare offering on Old Mission Peninsula—where panoramic views of both East and West Grand Traverse Bay become part of your everyday backdrop.

The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with 2,626 finished square feet, thoughtfully positioned to capture water views from multiple angles. Beyond the home, the property delivers unmatched versatility: Attached 1-car garage, detached 3-car garage barn with classic Northern Michigan charm, and a large pole barn with dual doors, ideal for equipment, storage, or hobby use. Also includes automatic whole house backup generator. Whether you’re looking for a private estate, working farm, or a legacy property on Old Mission, this is a setting that simply cannot be duplicated.
