Luxury Torch Lake Vacation Home – Private Dock, Pickleball, Game Room, Theatre

National Geographic calls Michigan’s Torch Lake “one of the most beautiful lakes in the world,” and there’s no home that shows off its beauty better than “American Spirit.” This exceptional, 6-bedroom craftsman home has recently been completely rebuilt and updated with luxury and comfort in mind.

Built high on a hill overlooking Torch Lake, American Spirit gives vacationers the best of both worlds. It provides space and privacy AND access to nearly every outdoor activity in Northern Michigan. You can sit on the property’s expansive decks, basking in the beautiful horizon over the lake, or take full advantage of American Spirit’s lake access and spend your days jetting across the water.

Every detail of American Spirit has been custom-built and radiates with hand-crafted touches. Each of the six bedrooms is named after a significant location in Revolutionary War history, and the all-American house can comfortably sleep 16. Four of the bedrooms—Princeton, Trenton, Concord, and Yorktown—have new king-sized beds. Lexington has two trundle beds that sleep four, and the Bunker Hill bedroom has (you guessed it) two bunk beds.

American Spirit has eight bathrooms—two half-baths and six full-baths—as well as a full-sized outdoor whirlpool spa and an indoor sauna and steam room.

When you’re not down at the lake, you can explore the fantastic grounds which provide you with one of the most breathtaking views in Michigan. You can relax on the deck or lounge in the high-end outdoor furniture while you put a few steaks on the grill. You will spend half of your trip taking pictures of your surroundings and sending them to your friends—it’s that impressive in person.

Beyond the scenery, American Spirit provides its guests with an astonishing level of comfort and amenities. You’ll find it hard to tear yourself away from the home’s two game rooms with four pinball machines, bar-quality shuffleboard table, multicade arcade cabinet, pool table, bar, and a bubble hockey table.

Feel like cooking? Enjoy the fully-stocked main kitchen with brand-new, high-end appliances and a dining room that seats eight and a second kitchen with everything you’ll need for a great meal. Need to work off that dinner? Take advantage of the professional fitness room with treadmill, elliptical tread climber, leg press, multipurpose machine, free weights, and more.

Just looking to lounge and watch the big game? The home has 12 big flat-screen TVs. Want to have a movie night? Step inside the HD home theater room with projection screen, sound system, full kitchenette, lush recliner seats, a couch, and additional bar seating.

American Spirit lets you enjoy your vacation by making sure that you will want for nothing—you’ll find Wi-Fi, two sets of washer/dryers, four fireplaces throughout the house, and anything else you’d need to relax during your getaway.

This house is pure Americana, like something out of the mind of Norman Rockwell. It has the feel of a warm family home and all of the scope and amenities of a high-end vacation lodge. Your family and friends will never stop talking about this house or its awe-inspiring views of Torch Lake.

American Spirit is a short drive from Short’s Brewery, Elk Rapids, Traverse City, and local golf, hiking, and sporting locations. It’s in a perfect vacation location, but the true appeal of this one-of-a-kind, 8,000-square-foot property is how it allows you to experience Torch Lake both up close and at a distance.

There are only a handful of “Spirit” homes in the Torch Lake area—all owned by the same family who have spent decades building some of the most astonishing vacation homes in Michigan. Don’t miss this rare chance to spend some time at American Spirit and have the vacation of a lifetime.
