Luxury lakefront home surrounded by pines in Michigan

Northern Michigan continues to rank among the most desirable second home and luxury home destinations in the Midwest. Buyers are drawn to our waterfront access, year round recreation, strong communities, and small town charm.

Even in winter, interest remains strong. Many clients seek privacy, acreage, and lake proximity in areas such as Harbor Springs, Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Boyne City.

As top listing agents for high end and waterfront properties, the Winslow Group has seen consistent demand regardless of season. Buyers value properties that offer lifestyle, convenience, and connection to the water.

If you are considering listing your luxury home, this year round demand is a valuable advantage.
