Description

Wildlife. Wonder. Waiting. Here at Cedar Creek Ranch it's next legacy is ready to be written. It's not a stretch to call this 400 acres of untamed beauty Leelanau County's own Jurassic Park, because here, nature writes the story and possibility shapes the future. Spanning three townships—Kasson, Solon, and Centerville—this rare piece of land offers a depth of privacy, space, and potential that’s nearly impossible to find in this area today. A custom-built 6,200 sq ft main home anchors the property, crafted with solid oak trim, cherry floors, and views that stretch across pasture and hardwood ridgelines. From the sunken living room to spacious kitchen for gathering together around the island, every space here invites you to slow down, bring others together, and settle in. Step beyond the fencing into a different world—200 acres of high-fenced wilderness where 32 deer and a single, stoic elk roam freely, a nod to the ranch’s hunting heritage. Here the landscape shifts from rolling pasture to cedar swamp, where Victoria Creek winds through muck and moss, and wildlife are around every turn. With no conservation easements and a transferable DNR/Ag permit, the possibilities are wide open. The Lodge, five-stall barn with indoor arena and pasture, finished garage, accessory buildings, batting cage, and two spacious workshops offer all the infrastructure you need—for equestrian pursuits, family retreats, events, or farming. Add in the stocked pond complete with trout, largemouth bass, and sunfish, returning geese, stargazing skies, and daily wildlife visits, and the wonder becomes unmistakable. Just 1.5 miles from Cedar and 30 minutes from Cherry Capital Airport, Cedar Creek Ranch is remote yet accessible. Whether you imagine an outdoor retreat with glamping, an equestian haven, a generational legacy or something wild and new—this is a place built to hold big dreams. And here, there's room for every one of them.
