The Hallstedt Homestead is nestled near the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, at the southern edge of Northport. Back in 2006, Phil and Sarah Hallstedt bought 53 acres of property on Matheson Road, some 400 miles away from their home in Indianapolis. The Hallstedts searched dozens of properties, but nothing felt quite right. “Then,” explained owner Sarah Hallstedt, “Phil climbed a snowy hill one cold February to see the rolling hills, woods and privacy of the place in the property we now call home.”
