This 2.84 acre parcel offers a rare head start for buyers ready to build their Northern Michigan life without waiting on construction timelines. A 24x50 pole barn is already in place, complete with well and septic installed and functional living quarters, allowing for immediate use of the property while a future home is planned or built.
The parcel is metes and bounds with no HOA restrictions, giving buyers genuine flexibility in how they use and develop the land. For those who value independence and control over their own property, this is a meaningful advantage over deed-restricted or platted alternatives.
This setup is well suited to buyers who want to get on their land now, whether for weekend use, seasonal living, or as a base while designing a permanent residence. The infrastructure work, often the most time consuming and costly part of a build, has already been completed.
Tucked into the northern reaches of Benzie County, this property sits just a short drive from the Leelanau County border, placing it at the crossroads of some of the region's most desirable towns. Traverse City's downtown corridor is a quick 16 mile drive.
Empire, with its lakeshore access and small town charm, is 12 miles out. Glen Arbor sits 15 miles away, and Lake Ann, the closest of the bunch, is only 6.5 miles down the road. Wherever the day takes you, from wine tasting to dune climbing to a quiet evening on Lake Ann, it's never far from home. For buyers looking for a turnkey foundation on unrestricted acreage in one of Northern Michigan's most desirable corridors, this is a rare find.
