Property Watch: 80 Good Acres

Larger chunks of vacant land are getting harder to come by in Leelanau County, and this one has it all. 

Offered is 80 acres of vacant land in the southern tier of the county for $925,000, good for about $11,500 an acre. 

The listing describes an "incredible opportunity to acquire one of the last remaining large swaths of land in the area."

Situated off of M-72 about seven miles east of Empire for a "quick drive to Lake Michigan & Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park," the property is comprised of two parcels and has frontage on seasonal Fritz Road and includes 25 feet of frontage on rustic five-acre Gilbert Lake.

Heavily wooded with mature maple and a mix of beech, oak and hemlock for potential logging income.

"This serene location is perfect for maple syrup collecting, hunting, family compound, Up-North retreat, or anyone with an appreciation for the outdoors in its pure Michigan state," the listing boasts.
