## Description

### Agent Description
HARBOR VIEW NURSERY & LAVENDER FARM -17770 CENTER ROAD, OLD MISSION PENINSULA Once in a generation, a property comes to market that is so deeply rooted in a place, so woven into the fabric of a community, that it transcends the idea of real estate entirely. Harbor View Nursery & Lavender Farm is that property. Perched on the Old Mission Peninsula, there are only a few sharing the 45th parallel with Provence, France, the world capital of lavender. This 25-year-old lavender destination spans 46.52 acres of rolling fields, planted with 8 distinct lavender varieties. From the moment you turn onto Center Road and the purple rows come into view, you understand: this is not just a farm. This is a lifestyle. The 4-bedroom farmhouse anchors the property with warmth and character. Original wood floors bear witness to decades of quiet mornings and summer harvests. The home has undeniable charm, a ready-made retreat that lets its next steward step into something already blooming. The farm's commercial footprint is equally compelling. An on-site farm store carries 50+ proprietary lavender-based products, including essential oils, culinary blends, and handcrafted goods that have earned a loyal following across the Midwest and beyond. A productive cherry orchard and an established mulch operation round out the income streams, giving a new owner diversified revenue from day one. What this legacy has built over decades, brand recognition, a repeat visitor base, and the agritourism draw on one of Michigan's most celebrated peninsulas, cannot be replicated quickly or easily. It can only be inherited, stewarded, and grown. Whether you are an entrepreneur seeking a turnkey lifestyle business, an investor recognizing the value of Old Mission Peninsula acreage, or a dreamer ready to trade an unfulfilling career for rows of purple on a summer morning, your HERE is waiting. Properties like this don't come to market, except once in a lifetime.
