About this home
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....
