Bay Harbor, Michigan has a large protected harbor that wasn’t always there. Instead, it was strangely created by man. Sometime around 1917, Petoskey Portland Cement opened a limestone quarry on the site of what is now Bay Harbor, and manufactured cement there for 80 years. By the time it closed in 1980, the huge plant had consumed five miles of lakefront and 1,200 acres of land, leaving a pox mark on the environment. In 1993, a group of visionaries got together and saw the devastation as a grand opportunity. In 1994, the old abandoned smoke stacks were brought down and the land on which the factory stood was cleared of rubble and the residues of asbestos, coal, chromium brick and 2.5-million cubic yards of kiln dust. Eight months later, an opening in the land between the quarry and Little Traverse Bay was created and Lake Michigan poured into the quarry forming the beautiful, protected deep water bay known as Bay Harbor. Now a four-season luxury resort, Bay Harbor has five miles of lakefront, 25 neighborhoods and 120 public and 128 private, sheltered boat docks. The 27-hole Bay Harbor Golf Club that runs along the lake and woods was designed by Arthur Hills and is considered by "Golf Digest" to be "The Pebble Beach of the Midwest." The Village center has shops, restaurants, a public marina and 70 acres of parks with walking trails.

On June 24th, an absolute auction will be held for an elegant estate fronting both the lake and the harbor. Formerly priced at $15.9 million, the home abounds in luxuries such as two master suites, five guest bedrooms, nine bathrooms and six fireplaces. The chef’s kitchen has appliances by Wolf, SubZero and Miele and the butler’s kitchen is equipped with two SubZero refrigerators and a wine cooler. Men will be awed by the gentlemens’ lounge and the car collector’s garage with a two-car turntable. The home has its own private lakefront beach, infinity-edge salt water pool and a private dock with two boat lifts that will accommodate yachts up to 120 feet. For more information.

Formerly priced at $15.9 million, Bay Harbor estate will be auctioned on June 24th, absolute with no minimum and no reserve.
