TRAVERSE CITY, MI – Filmmaker Michael Moore’s former home on northern Michigan’s Torch Lake is on the market for $5.2 million.
The home, at 222 S. East Torch Lake Drive in the Traverse City area, was listed last week.
It’s one of the higher-end properties in the neighborhood, which has been known for having celebrity residents and visitors, including music artists Kid Rock and Eminem, said associate broker Nancy Albrecht.
The 3.65-acre property is owned by Moore’s ex-wife, Kathleen Glynn.
Moore, a Flint native, filed for divorce from Glynn in 2013 after 21 years of marriage. According to Antrim County Circuit Court records, the couple married in Flint in 1991, and they did not have children.
Albrecht said the property has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, and there is also a guest cottage, which pushes the square footage to about 11,000, including the main house, which is an estimated 7,500 square feet.
“It’s a beautiful house,” Albrecht said. “Pictures really can’t show you all the property has to offer. It’s an upper-end property, and a lot of well-known celebrities are in the market.”
The home also has five fireplaces, a gym and an art studio.
Albrecht, who is an associate broker with Real Estate One, said she and another broker, Debra Hall, listed the home July 30.
Moore owned the home with Glynn prior to their divorce.
Both Glynn and Moore have made a name for themselves in the film industry.
In 1989, Moore received various awards for his first documentary, “Roger Me,” which explored the automotive industry in Flint. It has been reported that Moore eventually sold the documentary to Warner Brothers for $3 million.
Glynn, a former Mott Community College student, is also an award-winning filmmaker. She won Academy awards for producing “Bowling for Columbine” and “Fahrenheit 911.”
