Two hundred feet of sandy beach combined with 10 acres of pristine privacy protected by a conservation easement, can be all yours. This is the final vacant lot within an exclusive, eight-home enclave on the Leelanau Peninsula. Here, a private road winds through an ancient forest to reveal a sanctuary commanding world-class sunsets, sweeping views of the Manitou and Fox Islands, and endless beach walking. Your immediate haven is bolstered by the neighboring Cathead Point landscape, which is comprised of hundreds of acres subject to a conservation easement, including the breathtaking Kehl Lake Natural Area. The environment is so rare that it holds a protective Critical Dune designation; its dramatic contours invite a visionary with an eye for a home design that honors nature’s landscape, a finite piece of the coastline where absolute scarcity and natural beauty are preserved forever. The drone video captures a glimpse of its beauty, but you must see it to feel it. To respect the neighbors' privacy on this dead-end private road, touring is strictly by appointment only; no drive-by, please.

Sweeping island views, shared Lake Michigan frontage, and a remarkable future-home setting come together in The Shores, just two miles northwest of Northport. Set on a vegetated lower-bluff segment of the shoreline near the end of a quiet road, this 2.2-acre parcel offers 225 feet of width, panoramic views, a level building site, and mature hardwoods. The seller, and original owner, selected this lot directly from the developer approximately 35 years ago and later expanded the property by acquiring one-half of the adjoining lot. Value-added improvements from the former residence remain, including an existing driveway, excavated building footprint, scenic deck overlooking the water, underground electric service, fiber optics, well, and septic system. These improvements convey in their present condition, subject to the buyer’s independent evaluation and due diligence. Picture your future home above Lake Michigan’s shifting blues, with Manitou and Fox Islands on the horizon and sunset colors sweeping across the water and sky. The community commons offer 4,000 feet of shared Lake Michigan shoreline, reached by dedicated association stairways rather than from individual lots. Just steps away, township-owned Christmas Cove provides direct beach access. To the south, a footpath winds through the Austrian Forest Commons to the overlook at township-owned Peterson Park. Protective covenants uphold neighborhood standards, and short- and long-term rentals are prohibited. Annual HOA dues are $1,200. This is a rare, build-ready sanctuary on the Leelanau Peninsula. The Shores pairs an established Lake Michigan setting with the confidence of a well-managed homeowners association. Includes a 1.5/48 interest in the association-owned Beach Walk Commons and Austrian Forest Commons. See associated documents.
