We recently had the good fortune to visit Glen Lake Michigan for a short visit
with friends at their cottage. Glen Lake is just a sand dune behind Sleeping
Bear Dunes on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan near the Leelanau Peninsula
north west of Traverse City.
On one of our sight seeing, ice cream or lake shore seeking drives,
we came across this novel home being built. It appears to be a
home and studio or small shop. This area is home to many artists, retirees,
and summer homes of the very well-to-do.
The little round house may just be a little place to get away from..............
you fill in the blank?
We thought we would take a pic and share with all of you. A round house
isn't the average home being built today. There was some questions about
how it would appraise. We aren't sure but thought it an intriguing design.
We'll take a follow up picture of the completed home, if we are fortunate
enough to get up this way again.

Hi Terry,
I live and sell in Big Canoe, Georgia. It was developed in the 70's and is still moving along pretty nicely. One of the first sections that they put in was called the TreeToppers. They are 2 bedroom, 2 bath round houses on a central poles (like a MUSHROOM) . Some have a spireal staircase in the middle to go down to the laundry. I wish I had a picture to show you but they are in the 149K-180K range. I secretly want to buy one and use it as my office hidaway!! For fun you can do a search on my website. There are about 10 for sale and they are the lowest priced units we have.

Karin: We thought they were interesting. We don't know much about them but as we drove by my wife told me to stop and take a photo.
