Nearly 19 acres of improved land with established infrastructure, historic character, and long-term development potential in Leelanau County. This 18.94-acre property has been operated as part of a working farm and currently includes three manufactured residences used as year-round farm employee housing, a historic barn, and three established building sites that correspond directly to the locations of the existing homes. A future owner could remove the manufactured homes and benefit from the site preparation already in place, rather than starting from raw land. The value is in the land, layout, and infrastructure, with multiple driveways, electrical service, and individual wells and septic systems already installed for each site. This significantly reduces the time, cost, and uncertainty typically associated with developing large acreage. The manufactured homes are functional for current farm use but are not being represented as turnkey residences and would require significant investment to upgrade or replace. They should be viewed as placeholders that establish access, utilities, and existing use, not as finished homes. This property offers flexibility for buyers seeking vacant land with utilities, a future family compound, a buy-now, develop-later opportunity, or continued agricultural or workforce housing use, subject to zoning requirements. Township guidance indicates the existing homes were approved under farm year-round employee housing provisions, and continued or alternative use would require zoning review and approval. MLS clarification: Listed home dimensions reflect one of the three residences only. Each residence has its own well and septic system.
Set on approximately 18 acres in Leelanau Township, this property combines a historic barn, sizable garage/storage space, and open acreage just minutes from Northport, Omena, Suttons Bay, and Leland. Opportunities with this level of land, character, and flexibility are increasingly rare in Northern Michigan real estate, especially in close proximity to Lake Michigan communities. The primary residence is a HUD manufactured home and should be considered a fixer-upper. The main footprint and layout are already established, creating a strong foundation for buyers willing to complete updates and renovations. With vision and investment, the home has the potential to become a comfortable year-round residence, guest property, or long-term Northern Michigan retreat. The home is well suited for duplex use or a lower-level guest living area, offering flexibility for extended family or visitors. Outdoor features include a balcony and terrace, providing elevated views across the surrounding countryside. The layout offers substantial square footage and adaptability for buyers who value space and customization. A 47 x 26 detached garage adds further versatility and could serve as a workshop, studio, storage building, or future accessory space, subject to Leelanau Township zoning and buyer due diligence. The historic barn reinforces the property�s rural character and expands the range of possible uses, from agricultural to creative or recreational.
Opportunities galore with this unique Leelanau County Home on 23+ acres. One level living/ 6 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms, natural light fills the spacious dining room, Chefs pride kitchen/pantry/ washroom. Fireplace in family room & living room. 2 primary suites, pvt. bathrooms in each bedroom, and an abundance of storage in lower level. 5,000 sq ft Outbuilding/garage (possible horse barn) and 4 Tennis Courts.

Welcome to one of the most coveted stretches of shoreline on Cathead Bay ââ?¬â? a property that blends natural beauty with unmatched exclusivity.

Each evening, breathtaking sunsets unfold over the horizon, with North Fox, South Fox, and North Manitou Islands in silhouette ââ?¬â? the kind of views people travel the world to experience, right from your own beach.
