Welcome to the Leelanau Peninsula.

Please also visit www.AnnMarieMitchell.com for local information.

"People who live in Leelanau or have been visiting for years can be ferocious in their determination to protect it. In a world of rapid change and frenetic lifestyles, Leelanau remains quiet and rural and slow to change, and thus increasingly important to our collective well being. It is one of the last good places."

I fell in love with Leelanau and never looked back. I arrived fresh out of college in 1976 and I’ve lived here ever since. So I know the back roads and hidden places. The best sandy beaches and the best sunset places. The best communities to raise children, to retire, or to invest.

If it concerns real estate, I know it. I list and sell waterfront, large & small acreage farms, resort condominiums, single-family homes, and commercial properties. I understand environmental issues—wetlands, critical dunes, high-risk erosion, endangered species. I understand county permitting—health, soil & erosion, road commissions. And local zoning, in 11 townships & 3 villages.

I’m available 24/7, I know the value of time, and I make a point not to waste yours. Call, e mail, or stop in to see me. Let’s talk about your dreams and making them happen here. Leelanau County is one of the country’s hottest markets. It’s never too soon to start!

Specialties

Whether it is a farm, a small cabin or a multi-million dollar beachfront property, I know just how to help you find the perfect place.

I list & sell farms and land with a concentration in land suitable for fruit growing--cherries, vines, apples. Whenever possible, I connect local farmers with new non-farmer land owners to help sustain agricultural viability. I am knowledgable about Qualified Agricultural Exemption Guidelines that offer property tax benefits and other measures that maximize use, enjoyment & conservation.
I have extensive experience listing and selling vacation & retirement properties on Lake Michigan, Grand Traverse Bay, Northport Bay, Omena Bay, Lake Leelanau, Glen Lake, Little Traverse, Lime Lake, and smaller inlakes such as Bass Lake & Mougey Lake. Many waterfront properties are deemed environmentally sensitive and require additional expertise and professional guidance that I can help to obtain.
As a 32 year Leelanau resident and active community member I am often privy to uncommon opportunities.

All the expertise I bring to the table, I'll put to work for you!

Background

My family and I reside on Bass Lake, a quiet little lake just west of Omena. My husband John Mitchell is the author of four history books and he is presently writing his fifth book centered around the civil war years in Leelanau and the Grand Traverse region. His published books are: Michigan An Illustrated History for Children; Great Lakes & Great Ships An Illustrated History for Children; Prehistoric Great Lakes An Illustrated History for Children. His newest book, Wood Boats of Leelanau, a Photgraphic Journal received a prestigious State History Award from the Michigan Historical Society. To learn more visit www.GreatLakesHistory.com.

We have two sons both born and raised in Leelanau. Matt attended the Montessori Children's House in Suttons Bay, Northport School and Interlochen Center for the Arts. He graduated from the University of Michigan and is currently working in Dallas Texas full time while studying for his MBA at the University of Texas, Dallas. Drew our youngest, graduated from Northport School and is currently an NCAA student athelete (basketball) at Kalamazoo College.

Interests

For the most part, our home on Bass Lake is our sanctuary. We spend most of our leisure time canoeing on the lake, observing the wildlife and counting our blessings. John grows raspberries & asparagus, and I have a flower garden. We are serious about composting, but do not grow many other edibles because we share a vegee share from Meadow Lark farms and receive a box of fresh grown surprises every week.

I am a swimmer and enjoy a long uninterupted swim from the public beach in Omena to the OTYC dock and back. I also enjoy biking around the peninsula particularly in the early morning as the sun begins to rise above the hills--the colors are amazing. We enjoy boating on our Boston Whaler, cruising to Northport, Suttons Bay and Elk Rapids for dinner and returning to Omena under a starry sky.
